    We're working to bring up the server as soon as possible. As I've mentioned previously, Season 7 is not launching today and the reason for extended downtime is technical difficulties. All Cryptic games (STO and CO) and services (subscription and account management) are affected. We're still on track for the ETA in the latest update (2pm PDT - 1 hour and 52 minutes from this post) -- it may change, it may not, but if it does, I will communicate it to you.

    You should be able to start patching now, but you won't be able to actually get to the character select screen.

    Again, thanks for your patience :) Once we are up, I've got a few exciting announcements/ frontpage news posts to make over the course of the afternoon.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=
    I was impressed that you guys were able to keep the game up during the hurricane when other games I play went down. Have at it, just have it up by Friday :P

    Sorry was that a compliment?! :D

    This made me laugh...
    Sad, but it's almost a logical conclusion...

    You mean the downtime? Yes. This is them getting everyone used to it. Normally this is followed by the game being up for a short time and then comes the 'unscheduled maintenance'. I look forward to at least 2/3 weeks after the new Season launches.

    Personally, I'm not mad about the 4 hour extra down time. It's 4 more hours I'm not getting angry at Cryptic for continually crapping out new ship costumes at $20 a pop instead of fixing things that have been broken for months if not years.

    So go ahead and keep it down for several days if needed, my doctor says my blood pressure is to high already.

    As people, experts in the field have stated here, if they screwed up this bad at their job they'd be fired. someone need's to get the matches out and start firing people.

    If they dont know what is wrong then their IT people arent smart enough.

    Ahhh, spoken like a person who has never done real IT work in his entire life. When you take your car into the shop for an oil change and the mechanic finds a problem that will take a while to fix and if left unfixed could potentially cause your car to burst into flames or break down leaving you stranded. Do you fire the mechanic and then go on your merry way, or you know let him fix it and wait a little longer?

    This is the same thing only you don't have to pay the mechanic at the end all you lose here is maybe some Dilithium or a shiny MACO/KHG/OMEGA set. In exchange you know the servers wont burst into flames or crash while you are in the middle of playing.

    Of course, now I really am turning into this guy...

    I'm getting sick of the Maintenance being extended twice today! I want an explanation for this because I'm a fan but today I'm very unpleased with the devs.

    i'll order my ships to do the same. we'll use attack pattern omega and break formation at phase line apha. once we achieve orbit you go for the buildings ill take out the cars so they cant escape. then they will be forced to stay at work till its fixed.
    "Being a troll myself, I classify this malcontent as a Type-2 Oblivious Troll. My reasons for coming to this conclusion are: The annoying colored text he deploys, the contradictory threads he creates, the excessive whining and foot stamping, the amusement factor of his threads, and the apparent lack of realization that he is in fact a troll, like me, and is not the heart broken, victimized, player, he sees himself as."

    Exactly! Think how much money you're saving by not being able to play STO! We should be thanking them for this opportunity to save up cash for all the things we'll need it for in Season 7 ;)
