SWTOR Patch 4.1 Maintenance Delayed due to External Networks
BioWare are having trubles with SWTOR Patch 4.1. SO far the maintenance has been delayed due to external network issue. There is currently no ETA on when the servers will come online. Maintenance: 9 February 2016 | 02.09.2016, 05:28 PM Hey folks, We are nearing my “best case scenario” of one hour. We are not ready to bring the servers live yet, but we are still looking good.

Thanks everyone. -eric Maintenance: 9 February 2016 | 02.09.2016, 04:33 PM Hey…
