Hi Esra,

Our last Game Update 6.2 'Echoes of Vengeance' changed the Conquest reset timer, making it match the Weekly Mission reset timer.

Dan posted more information about that change in the following thread: December In-Game Event Schedule

Some of you have been curious why we're making this timing change. We have aspects of SWTOR that reset on a weekly basis - Operations lockouts, Weekly Mission Resets, Conquests, etc. We know that these events are important for players and some modify their playtime based on when these resets happen. Aligning all our reset timers makes things easier for players to keep up to date with SWTOR, provides an expectation for future resets, and helps prevent potential development problems on our end when having multiple systems using different resetting behavior.

Hi,

All SWTOR servers are once again available!

Thank you for your patience.
