    I think the Dev's are playing alone now, not realizing that our normal gameplay is affected :rolleyes:
    Now that would be funny. As they start running through the game, one of the developers stops and says, "Guys? Did someone forget to plug in the severs? Where did all the people go?"

    Thanks to the Cryptic/PWE personel for creating this huge update, and to all the Tribble testers who helped it reach its full potential!

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Servers down after a new Season is patched. It's to be expected, even if it's frustrating.

    Just based on past Seasons upon their introduction, the crystal ball says we can expect server troubles and numerous short-notice maintenance periods in the next few weeks.

    Well, I'm queued as player 6678 out of over 10,000! I rose 3 positions in ten minutesl then the server disconnected me. Someone really, really, screwed up. Or worse: it's working as intended.

    I would be very mad. Since I have paid over a hundred dollars into c-points (zen), within only a few months, I would have expected to have overcome this particular obstacle. I feel everyone's pain.

    With the server problems what they are, this should teach them to name a new season after a crappy Steven Segal movie...

    The server is now back up. Thanks for your patience!

    Cheers,

    This was posted earlier.. although for some reason I still can't get in, I guess it's server spam.

    tribbles...cryptic uses tribbles not hamsters, with purr conversion piezoelectrics. much more advanced than the ancient hamster wheels...though with about the same reliability unfortunately...progress isn't always improvement :\

    Season 6: Under Siege is live!

    It will be later, but for now the more accurate statement would be:
    "It's dead, Jim."

    It's been months since our last unexpected downtime.
    Better later than never, or what they say... :D

    Try again, it just came up for me.

    My advice: Avoid map transitions and using replicators/vendors whenever possible -- these seem to have the most lag at the moment and most likely to occur immediately before a disconnect.

    Picard: Worf raise shields!
    Worf: Raising shields!
    (explosion and ship shaking)
    Worf: Forward shields down to 74% Captain!
    Picard: Number One fire all phasers and ready Tricobalt torpedos, full spread on my mark!

    Picard: Fire!
    Riker: Firing Tricobalt torpedos, full spread!
    Worf: Shields at 14%, Brace for Impact!
    Picard: all hands Brace for impact!
    (15 seconds later)
    Worf: Captain, something's not right.
    Crusher: Wait, i sense something, permission to open communications Captain.
    Picard: permission granted, on screen
    PWE: we are sorry but the servers are full at the moment, you have been placed in cue, you are number 3964 of 10526, when this message is done, we will proceed to attack your vessel...
    Picard: let's get out now while we are in one piece, Data, warp 9.5
    Data: yes Captain

    Now it's saying I can't login with an existing character?

    TRIBBLE it, this isn't worth repeated attempt, I'll check back in a few hours and see if it's back up, until then I'm not buying anything that says it's back.

    I would be ok with queues, but with a queue, i expect to be able to get into the queue and sit and wait in it until i get in without getting disconnected. I also expect that once I do get through the queue, to not get get disconnected in a matter of seconds just to have to try to queue again.
