STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC Server Issues

By Matt Mann / December 23, 2011

Star Wars the Old Republic officially launched the other day, however it has not been as smooth a transition as EA would have liked. For the past few days people have been having trouble getting on to servers because of the insane queue times some servers have had. It has gotten to the point where Bioware and EA "strongly advise you to not create new characters on these servers, unless you are prepared to queue to play." Here is the list of servers to avoid: The Harbinger -- US West Coast - PvE The Swiftsure -- US West Coast - PvP The Fatman -- US East Coast - PvP Bloodworthy -- EU English - PvP Frostclaw -- EU English - PvE Legions of Lettow -- EU English - PvP The Red Eclipse -- EU English - PvE Tomb of Freedom Nadd -- EU English - PvP Darth Revan's Mask -- EU German - PvP Darth Traya -- EU German - PvP Jar'Kai Sword -- EU German - PvP Hrakert Rift -- EU French - PvP EA and Bioware also stated:

"At this time we can only ask for your patience. Population caps are being gradually raised on these servers, but raising them too fast will create an influx of new players and perpetuate the problem. We do not expect the queues to alleviate on these servers for the foreseeable future."

However, now some of the sever queue times have gone away because of another issue, people needing to log into swtor.com but are unable to because the website can't handle that many people trying to register all at once. People have their accounts tied to the website and because of the overload of gamers trying to get on they are getting thrown into waiting rooms. So between the server issues and now the website issues you may have some long wait times before being able to play the game. Are any of you not experiencing these issues and are able to get in and play right away?
