Oh, you poor, ignorant Saps!
You have NO idea what's REALLY going on here!
It goes deeper than mere SERVERS. Much deeper.
Look at your calenders.
What weekend is it?
Now think about it.
You know the answer.
You KNOW you do.
You just don't want to admit it.
Don't want to face the awful truth!
They warned us.
For years they said they would.
Why haven't you called? They asked.
Go outside! They said.
And we ignored them.
Fools.
All of us FOOLS!
They've finally done it!
OUR MOMS HAVE KILLED OUR VIDEO GAMES!!!!

That's an amazing trick, considering she passed away two years ago.

It seems that Tribbles have gotten into the network hardware at our data center, and all Cryptic games and services are affected. We have Engineers on site who are working to.. well... remove the...
For those wondering why the Malvan event hasn't gotten to the second phase:
Our devs didn't get transferred to the other games. They are all exclusively trying to make sure Cryptic servers don't crash and burn.
When one part of a machine wears down it can cause damage to other parts of the machine. So even if one part of the machine gets replaced the damage to the rest of it has been done. We're probably witnessing a chain reaction...a metabolic chain reaction!
HOLY WOW!! Twice in one day?? Really?? Wtf is going on over there?
I'm hardly surprised at this point. I predict they will keep the servers down for an extra 6 hours for maintenance to fix this issue, ruining yet another saturday of gaming
Again I think it may be time to re-evaluate how the network and games are connected, clearly something isn't working right. A crash that disables all three games is a sign of some really inefficient systems. Plus if you add some new hardware perhaps you can stop blaming the lack of space for why we can't have permanent content.
After thinking about things I've read regarding PWE's business model, I feel confident when I theorize that they have no plans to spend any money improving the service of CO.
What I suspect is they will let the game languish and flounder for perhaps one more year before terminating it; Two if I'm being optimistic. That being said, get used to poor service all around until they finally yank out the rug and cut their loses.
After all, they don't actually care about their customers, just the profits that they see. To think otherwise is being wistful and unrealistic.
Is there any place to look for a Dev's response or announcement or update?
Try the Super News Network subforum. That's where TT's been posting.
This whole mess isn't really surprising. Not only is STO hosting an Open Beta Weekend for the new Romulan stuff, where even Silvers can access the test server (Galen tr'Hheinia here, commander of the RRW Emerald Fire), but also I understand Nevergonnaplayagain is running a Double Astral Diamond weekend.
Under such extreme heat, wear and degradation is inevitable!! Parts break after overuse!! And that is why your toaster pastries will burst into flames if you don't keep an eye on them, you sacks of bladder waste!!!!

I take a shvitz.
I'm known for my glamour and my glitz.
Check i!
As I bust
I really must encrust
This microphone rust with diamond fairy dust!
I don't wear Crocs,
And I don't wear sandals.
The pump don't work
Cause the vandals took the handles!
Stop singing that song,
In the wrong key.
Whatcha lookin at?
Funky donkey!

We may have a dev, but he/she is not here on the weekend.
Then again if you look at the number of posts as indicative of game population, STO player population is close to a magnitude larger than CO.
