While logging into Star Wars: The Old Republic to do some Hardmode Flashpoints for gear there was a notice on the launcher, a notice regarding the 1.2 system update.
Starting tonight, BioWare will be shutting down the servers temporarily in order to update them for the Legacy Update, which is coming out tomorrow.
The notice states the following:
"We will be bringing down servers for eight hours on April 12th, 2012 from 12:01AM CDT (April 11th, 10:01PM PDT/1:01AM EDT/6:01AM BST/7:01AM CEST/3:01PM AEST) until 8AM CDT (6AM PDT/9AM EDT/2PM BST/3PM CEST/11PM AEST) in order to deploy Game Update 1.2 - Legacy. All game servers will be offline during this period. SWTOR.com will be available. This maintenance is expected to take no more than eight hours, but could be extended."
The 1.2 Legacy Update will finalyl be releasing the Legacy System in which you build a family tree with your characters and inherit new abilities from characters on the tree. Along with the update there will be a new Flashpoint, a new Operation, a new Warzone, a Guild Bank, customization of the User Interface and much more.
Expect to see the Legacy System up and running tomorrow, April 12.
