No system alerts....
That said with your game doing what it is currently doing you can run a few tests...
OK with your game open and running please alt tab back to your desktop.
Please click Start and in the search line down the bottom type cmd.
(you will see cmd.exe show up before you hit ENTER).
Right Click the Application and select "Run as Admin"
now please type
netstat -n -p tcp -b (Hit Enter)
Look for the 2 connections to do with Swtor.
I would expect 1 to be European server 159.153.72.252
Now type
tracert (insert other ip address)
This will give you a routing path to the login server, as it would appear this is getting hammered today for you, which should be visible using this next.
Now type
pathping -n (insert other ip address)
