The Star Wars: The Old Republic servers are back up and a patch 1.3.3 is now available to download, adding support for the server mergers that will be happening later this summer.

Later this summer BioWare will be completely closing several servers, leaving only a few mega-servers in each region, anyone who is yet to transfer their character will have it done automatically when this process begins. The full patch notes are below:
