The shard is back up!

====UPDATE====

Hello Captains!

We really appreciated your patience while we worked on getting the server back up. We had our "top men and women" working on this issue, and this crash has provided some extremely valuable data that will aide in getting to the root of the issue.

UPDATED @ 6:40pm PST: Star Trek Online is now up!

While this was longer than expected, there is some good news that is coming out of it! Tomorrow's patch was released today, so there is not a second downtime tomorrow.

This also means that the Gamma Quadrant Duty Officer Cadre will be available for purchase tonight! SWEET!

Thanks again for your patience, and see you in-game!

Cheers,

Brandon =/\=

    I finally fix my issue (hopefully... fingers crossed) and now it goes down?!? :mad::mad::mad:
    Guess it's time to log into WoW.
    I'd prefer to play STO, but you guys are really making that hard to do.

    Great. I kept getting "server not responding" for like an hour before the crash...Thought it was me, kept running speedtests to be sure.

    Sheesh already! This really takes alot of the fun out of playing STO :( You set time aside to play and then you end up sitting around waiting for the server to be fixed again & again & again! :eek:

    I just finished KASE Normal. I really hope my drops/dil don't roll back. :/

    (Literally. I was 40% of the way loading back into normal space)

    Really?

    Also I promise I will internet punch the first fool to ask why they weren't warned about the server coming down. Because until they hire a professional server clairvoyant, it's really hard to offer forewarning about a sudden crash.

    I am convinced that this is happening because someone somewhere fed a tribble after midnight! =)

    Looks that way, just before it did I got a message about "GS shutting down before getting to ready state" whilst transferring between maps.

    You obviously haven't tried to play Sword of the Stars II. That one is Failed Game of a Lifetime.

    Kind of interesting to note that they had "best new MMO of the year" not so long ago.

    If there was a trombonist who played a little defeatest "wuh-wahhhhh" every time the server crashed, that trombonists lips would be getting pretty tired about now.

    So lets set a pool up to see how long it takes them to fix this particular one. My guess is the average 2 hours it takes them to fix anything, so 7:45ish EST

    The shard is currently offline due to technical issues. We will update the forums with an ETA on the shard coming back online.

    Well of course it is! I mean, it wouldn't be a normal week if we didn't have this happen at least once every other day...just keeping with routine.

    Seriously though, folks, is this really "unexpected" to anyone but the STO staff?

    It's getting a little old.
