Same day?

    I just got booted while trying to say "goodbye" to a friend in STO.

    Hmph.

    People posted on NWO and STO a minute or two before me, btw.

    In other words, everybody is down again.

    Yeah...

    Well, on the bright side, this bit of downtime will give me a chance to dig through the forum and try to figure out where the heck you go to start a race...

    Yes, it's down again... fantastic. Just when I was going to test stuff on the STO test server. Cryptic really needs to get on this... get SEPARATE HARDWARE for the 3 servers... because putting Neverwinter, Champions Online, and Star Trek Online on the same server clearly doesn't work.

    Well, I was originally planning to spend some money on a Retcon...

    Think I'll hold back on that for tonight... and maybe even for a while more.

    Part two of this thread I assume.

    I thinks its apparent now that Cryptic's servers have finally hit a user cap. Time to buy those new ones and transfer those games to it, except for CO. Let it run on the smoldering server.

    I like how on the main page the server status is still UP.

    It is still up. I'm pretty certain that the cat hasn't knocked it off the table again. Well, fairly certain.

    Yes, I don't know why I can't log in. The server is UP, according to the little green light.

    LOL

    Heck, I can't even get on Neverwinters' FORUMS, much less in the GAME. So either
    A) We are doing something RIGHT over here or
    B) We are not worth the effort of completely smashing the Forums.

    I am on NWO forums--they are very slow due to high traffic.

    Anyway, the PWE team is using twitter to get out information at this point, rather than posting on any forum.

    That's because this is the most updates that CO has experienced in while. Something is finally happening.

    They say City of Heroes and Champions Online have a lot in common. This is true.


    For instance, I can't play either one of them right now.

    I'm really happy Cryptic added this new content to the game! Before, all I could do for hours on end was doing the same quests and content I've been doing since launch, but now with the brand new Server Crash Alert I get to get off my lazy butt and do something IRL! Kudos Cryptic/PWE!

    I love this "Real World" zone they added. It's huge and the graphics are amazing. Too bad the gameplay sucks- you can't even use any powers here.

    So... I managed to log in and get in-game!

    For a minute and a half. Before it crashed again.

    .................:D

    Crashing the servers on a Saturday afternoon. Troll level above 9000.

    I just got back on for 2 minutes when a guy asked if the game crashes that often. I said yes since NWO, then the game crashed again.

    Before that it said, "down for maintenance, normal gameplay will not be affected"

    Guess they changed that REAL quick.

    True that, and I can't find the Villain to defeat to complete this alert either. I've been punching my brother senseless for the past half an hour and nothing is happening. I guess that's why it usually takes a while for the Server Crash Alert to end, it gives you no objective or direction! Setting it to primary doesn't give me arrows to follow either...
