Its also funny that people who haven't touched the game in over a year are flooding back in and complaining about not being able to log in. I know its typical MMO stuff, but I still chuckle at it from time to time.
Dont excuse PWE/cryptic. I have been a regular player since headstart and i am totally entitled to ask why this release is falling to pieces. I paid my dues just like every other lifer/subber or F2Per who had bought something....
As a fellow systems 3rd line tech guy I feel for your network/systems engineers, its getting late here in the UK but hoping I might make it back in for more than 30 seconds to setup the fleet starbase, but I think my US fleet mates might end up doing.
Not a moan from me but good luck fellow tech's finding the problem and getting things going again, the unsung heroes who most likely won't get home to there families till late, it's usually what happens to me.
On a side note, can someone with a Steam Forum account tell the people over there at http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2800081
that this isn't the result of PWE downsizing the servers. Or that it's never happened...it happens every other season release, or new FE.
anyway to actually see the server status since the forum change? Im getting "Server down for maintenance" error
On the main page (http://sto.perfectworld.com/) on the righthand side of the page where the social networking links are is a server status display, shows red now and has an Oddy class on it.
Let's all try to log in again and crash it one more time... <chuckle>

I'm not sure, as I'm still new to the all MMO gaming, and MMO gaming development. But in a general software world, if you cannot provide a service to your paying customers on time, it is considered polite to post a message:
Guys we love you, we're working hard to bring the servers back, please hold on tight.
Predictions of population shrinkage might be a bit premature. One guy posted on twitter he was in a queue of 7020.

Speaking on this subject we need the status light back on the site it was a good way to glance when the servers would be up with out having to reload the launcher.
A good place for it would be in the space between All Games drop down and the My Account link as that's always seen on every page when visiting the website and forums.

Keep in mind this is a major integration update between the Cryptic and PW account servers, so while the game is up and running fine (many people are in game), the Network Engineering team is investigating the disconnects and login issues and expect them to be resolved as soon as possible.
Sorry but even tho i got in about a hour later once i map transferred i was disconnected. Many people got disconnected at map transferring so while your data showed many ppl ingame i bet they kept logging out and in all the time.

I hope it was Rootbeer or Dr. Pepper...

We may not be the highest pop game PWE has in terms of number of accounts but even as a sub game, we apparently had abnormally high CCUs for a game of our population.
Average sub game, I've heard, each player spends about 2.5 hours a week on average.
I've heard STO runs higher average time spent online per player.

So frustrating, Never got on once, whats the point of paying a sub if you can't get on to play new content when it comes out... major fail

Hope this helps.
We took down all of PWE?

I liked it better at the top of the page on the old forums.
I hope it was Rootbeer or Dr. Pepper...
