I paid for VIP access and I don't feel like I am getting it. The servers are laggy because they are taking on too much at once and the company is refusing to bring the wait times back. Giving everyone the VIP access. I am not getting what I paid for and feel ripped off.

That is what I'm talking about. There is no Queue's and its making the game lag like crazy because the server's can't handle the load. Meaning everyone is getting the same access as me.... But I'm also suffering from lag because of it. The wait times need to come back to fix the lag. Otherwise My exclusive VIP access isn't so exclusive and I'm not getting what I paid for. I'm getting a laggy piece of junk.
Yes. and no it's not my connection I checked my internet speed it's the same as always. It is the servers and it's only a issue during peek hours and weekends. The game has too much server load.
OB of teh expansion (Romulans) on the test server. Of course it's packed. But are you sure they are in the same cluster as production?
What are you talking about. I had no lag when people had to wait in line.
Yes. Even the custom channels are shared.
I agree that if this is caused by too much load, bringing back the queues for non-paying players would be helpful. (I have no issues with free players, just with the lag that may be caused by too many people on the servers.)
You can tell they've dumped all their games on the same servers, because people noticed they received "you have mail" notices from their Star Trek accounts, while playing Neverwinter.
Even if that was a proof that they share clusters (not server), I don't get those mails on Tribble (STO Test Server) so by that logic it's not on the same HW. Though it's a false logic because they could be just sharing the account server
I think it's more related to their network infrastructure, that is getting overloaded by NW and the STO beta, we already had 2 full outages of all the titles and the website/forum (and 'forum lag')
So if people want to pretend they are aren't tightly bound on the same server farm they can...but they are provably wrong.
When ****s not working right, I log off, smoke a bowl, and watch a movie /shrug you people should try it
BTW...I bought both packs, and I dont feel like I'm being ripped off at all. I love the game, and as a "Veteran" mmo player, I understand the issues that MMO's have when released. Get used to it, no ones perfect. If it makes you want to rage quit and smash things, then maybe you spend too much time playing games, no one should care that much.
Cheers
My advice: Should have save that money to buy a better computer. I have zero lag.
Could be the master VM server packed it in. I had that happen at work one day. Master VM server hosting 8 other servers that had been working great for a year suddenly decided to burn all it's RAM at once. Meh. Crashed but hard. Now I don't know that the game shards run on VM partitions but it actually makess sense with the way modern server configurations go.

They said it was a problem with their network hardware, that would explain the total blackout as well.
That could be as well, or (if they run they ESX or whatever off SAN disks, like it would be logic to do) it could be a SAN problem. VM server loses access to the disks where the VM machines are and bang! Either way, speculating about their infrastructure is pointless
My ping to server is the same as always, so it isn't latency (and it certainly isn't my computer, a horribly overclocked i7 :P). It's something wrong with the server. Not path (route) to server.
I don't think anyone is doubting the lag and rubberbanding, by any chance are you guys on Dragon?
Yeah we're on Dragon.
I'll add that the Dragon shard does seem a bit laggy. ::sigh::

It does when there is no queue to wait in. If they would bring back queue times and just let the no-payers complain. The lag would be reduced. Its a server capacity issue. Graphic settings has little to do with lag. That is a FPS issue not a Latency one.
