    Well, I'm glad it is being addressed and definitely glad it's not my internet. Obviously I had plans to play since I got home early. I guess I'll have to spend time with real people while I wait for the problem to be fixed.

    Real people. Pfah! This is why we invented television and movies! :D

    no one is attacking the servers, they just failed, especially of USA servers, they are down. the ones from EU working fine.

    They are not..i live in EU and can't log in

    What the heck is wrong with you guys, this should have being fixed long time ago, my whole life is this game!!!.

    Take it easy guys, take your time so it's done correctly. None of you should be there fixing anything, you should be with your friends and family but seems some players forgot you guys are human beings too (I mean you are right? not machines or dwarves or elfs?) it's only one day which I'm pretty sure anyone can skip playing. I'm pretty sure lots of people are going to get mad because of this.

    Umm, New Year's Eve is not a holiday. I'm at work right now, as most people are. Why does everyone keep calling today a holiday?

    Anyway, I'm sure things will be fixed within an hour or so. No sweat. :)

    Happy New Year!

    Guys it seems the servers have overloaded, their not under attack. its just ALL of us being on both NW and STO have overloaded everything, this happens all over the place this time of year, and xbox, playstion, Seganet, Steam, Oragin and many many others are no exception. all we can do is wait. The guys on the other end of this WILL be trying to fix it, all any of us can do is wait, so my advice to everyone right now is, go play on other games or go enjoy the new year. Because the servers are down both in the USA and EU so all we can do is wait. Arc and Steam are BOTH telling me this message
    Some games are currently experiencing outages. the issue is being investigated

    so just find something else to do, the best thing us users can do right now is lessen the server load by NOT logging in for an hour or so.

    Possibly because not everyone shares your time zone?

    New Year's has already passed for me and it's now well into New Year's Day here.

    I work for a transportation company. We drive vans to transport disable people. I have the first of the year off, as does the bus service. It may not be an official holiday, but almost every business here is closed.

    I don't like to speculate. But something in me must ask...

    Is this a DDoS attack, or is it a software/hardware problem?

    Bored of watching tv waiting for the server to come back up. Why would I ever want to interact with my in-laws sitting over there...

    No one outside of Cryptic is going to know that without speculating...

    The game has IMPROVED so much this year. It looks to only get BETTER. Hoping to see bigger servers, more processors, lots more memory, and Fiber-loads of bandwidth in the coming year.

    The addition of a PALADIN class would be icing on the cake! :-)

    Some (specifically hospitality) service industries tend to stay open, especially hospitality. Work till midnight new years eve tonight and open 7 am tomorrow. woo hoooo

    **** NW makes you feel really lonely when people are not there. i was stuck in a server at Dread ring, pure silence... only the server i was on was working saying "there are no other instances for this map". That was 5 mins ago, then i got a disconn and i tried to restart the game, at loading it says "Tried connecting 4 times" and says "unable to connect to patch server"..

    PURE F2P, so far..

    funy that. it seems to be about the same time that all the schools and collages are out.. hmmmm <sarcasum> has nothing to do with people being at home and playing it more, so thus more people are on and thus more load on the servers. <end sarcasum>

    I used to work for Sega when they first lurnched Seganet for the Dreamcast (Yes I'm sadly THAT old) I can tell you that server overloads happen, and there truthfully is jack squot anyone can do about it. you Ether guess the load right (by guessing over) or more commonly you get it Massively wrong by sevral thusands of people and the whole thing crashes, There is no way to be sure, most people think you'd be playing a new game else where, so they just plan for the useal weekend load, and theats when problems begin. because these are free to play games they can only budget for so much at a time and so at peek times like Holidays and Weekends we have to except connection problems. :/ sad fact of gaming.

    No updates after an hour? No good or bad news at all? I'm not like ''cmon cmon fix it right away'' but it would be nice to know about stuff like how long we need to wait. Personally I prefer to wait for a much longer time knowing how long than a much shorter one without any information...
