Star Wars Galaxies - Patch Woes?

An anonymous reader writes "Now that Sony has restricted their Star Wars Galaxies forums to players only, it is unlikely that any non-players would know about the major problems happening with this game. The largest patch in several months was planned for release yesterday. A scheduled 4 hour downtime to install the patch turned into a 16+ hour downtime for most players, sparking a huge outrage in the SWG community. Sony's forums quickly became overloaded, and instead of responding to issues, the moderators went to work deleting as many complaint posts as they could. To make matters worse, once the servers did come back online, it seems that the patch has caused more problems than it has solved." Are complaints about SWG down to a vocal (unrepresentative?) minority, or is there a more general level of dissatisfaction with the game?

    I played it for a few weeks straight and haven't really been back to my character. When I was playing there were huge issues with all of the rebel and imperials that were logging on at 3:00PM on the dot and being immature. I didn't find anywhere near enough roleplaying in the game for what it's title is. That said I'm almost scared to go back into it seeing the bug issues are still fairly high.

    Has anybody found the Key of the Twilight yet? I'm just sure it's on Tatooine somewhere
