Yes, it is another Sunday, with another server crash at the middle of the day (East Coast); I think STO will do a great job this year... in getting more players for SWTOR and WOW. :rolleyes:

    I was in the middle of "patching" while trying to join a ground stf (yeah, patching in the middle of a game is a really brilliant design idea) when it went. At least I know my would be team mates aren't sitting there abusing the guy who didn't show up.

    STO is bit different from other MMORPGs - less you must group and be one either tank, healer or dps stuff. Still lot's of unpolished edges but pretty potential. Like CRASHING.....

    ya, this is just a huge slap in the face....

    they do a 'sched maint' theat now has my whole account screwed up, and i am unable to buy C-points....
    then they release a FE finally after a YEAR of waiting......

    and then, because apparently the community didnt raise enough concerns over server load with the existing system that the game just religiously crashes ON THE WEEKEND.......

    ya, although it has paid for itself already, i truely regret spending my money on a LTS last year....
    at this pace, the game will be around maybe till summer, then the death roll will begin.....

    well, will just have to see if this team that has the weekends off can get it back up before i have to go back to work for the next 5 days....

    Oh, this isn't nice. But, as in any online game, stuff happens... but why so often? I beg of you?!

    Oh well, back to reading books. Those don't crash... :p

    Good luck with "maintenance" guys :-) See you soon

    Gotta love it. I get the message that the website is down for maintenance and that this will not affect gameplay at all. Yet everytime I tried to log in, I would time out. I thought it was Cryptic's new strategy so Gold members don't have wait in the queue to be able to play. Just have it so they can't log in. This way no more complaints about long queue waits. ;) Oh well so much for setting up my DOFF assignments and killing some borg.

    They create their own server problems by their approach to content. They should at least try to address bottlenecks by releasing during late weeknights (in the US). That should keep enough people off of the servers.

    Creating massive demand for content and then putting the premiere on when everyone is available is asking for these problems.

    This whole weekend was a real half hearted effort on their part.

    With the rate that they are pulling in the money for these boxes, they should be able to pay for 10 servers and mirrior them so that when one fails another takes over. I am assuming that this is a database failure, which is why they have dropped comms asap so to not furhter any corruption that has happened.

    but I bet there will be lots of tickets being fired in as soon as the server comes up saying : " I was just about to open my gold box and now I have no box or prize...." - even though they had no such box.

    ahh well... guess its time to play something else...

    I don't think this comment is completely true. STo was blasted "It won't last six months" when it first launched and it's now two years old. They changed publishers so alot of changes WILL happen. Its free so changes WILL happen. How can you make money when it's free? If SWTOR went free all of a sudden you think there servers would handle the increase in players - same issue server shutdowns.

    Problem is they never really sorted the servers out - people just slowly stopped playing after a month and so this freed server bandwidth up. Well now it's free, all those people who had accounts over two years are now back playing on a Sunday, when most people are off work. So the servers are now heating up to the maximum they can take and overloading.

    Do the math - FREE is more, PAID is less. You'd rather have it free than paid wouldn't you. More people will play, but the question is will Cryptic make the money from the C-Store or should I say will Perfect World see this as a good investment?

    I was [as far as I could tell] one ship away from destroying the fleet of ships at the beginning of the "Second Wave" episode, then I got disconnected. I tried to get back in, but I couldn't.

    I tried to check the website [thinking maybe the site was undergoing maintenance], but, ironically, the site itself was also undergoing maintenance. :p

    I'm just really hoping that, when the server goes back up and I get back in, I don't have to start the mission from the beginning again...

    nooooo!!

    Just came back home... have been working my *** off today, and done all thinkable tasks to make sure my better half will be off my back, in order to get some quality STO time in before I go to bed... (GMT +1 player)

    ...and now i'm left sitting here staring at the walls :p


    way to go...again...

    I've been playing about 2 weeks. In that time, I have experienced several crashes, all of which took an hour or so to fix.

    I have also had to wait patiently, for several maintenance days of several hours. Is this the game they want people to try to play? I mean, so far my only impression is the game can't handle itself? I'm really enjoying it, but they're making me not even want to carry on. It won't do well for their rep, if they don't sort this TRIBBLE soon. >.>

    I cant believe that i am paying for this awfull level of customer service, This is my first MMO and will probably be my last. If Cryptic do not pick their game up, I will be off.
