A wise man once told me not to get involved into games that they would rot my brain. Here I am years later staring at the forums waiting for a game to get fixed. I am still not sure about the brain rot, only time will tell.
Lol actually in order for your brain to function at it's best you need to constantly use it. Learning game strategies, memorizing game functions, working out how to solve problems, and using mental skill to pass challenges, is better than any crossword or saduko :P
Since I doubt any of us know how much money Cryptic or PWE spent on the server hardware, that's not really an answer. It could just as easily be that they have good hardware, but all the server management skills of a brain damaged Chihuahua.
Thats because they moved me to the basement and took my stapler I told them I'd burn the place to the ground!
If my memory is correct their new FPS shares servers with EVE at least partialy. Anyway as far as i know they are amongst companies with best hardware in mmo industry.
Well, clearly the traffic to all of the servers goes through a bottleneck.
It's like saying that different groups in a conference centre meet in different rooms.......but if there's only one door in to the centre then thats where the problems occur.
There appears to be a fundamental problem with Cryptics ability to run so many games at the same time.
The day NW went live, STO's stability began to wobble.
We've now had global, catastrophic failures two nights in a row.
Time to stop pretending there isn't a systemic problem and time to start solving it.
There is most certainly a systemic problem here. probably several in different categories ( the typical silicon valley development-sales-marketing-support-networking round robin of corporate financial distribution ), but, if PW is pushing the game, doing the sales marketing and advertising for STO, wouldnt that also imply that they are most likely also hosting the servers??
No matter. either way, your summation appears sound and quite well informed ( i retired ten years ago so my information is just a tad out of date ). it still smacks of poor network design and substandard hardware ( used dell servers running red hat instead of sun blades running solaris )..

Damn, man, that hits deep. My sister had a Chihuahua runt that was brain-damaged, and it died
My PvP toon is Krov, of The House of Snoo. Beware of my Hegh'ta of doom.
neverwinter authentication servers had crashed. I assume, STO and Neverwinter servers are connected if not the same...so all cryptic games atm are not responding...
I would think they are connected somehow as my friends' list carries over to all three games as well as chat.
1 minor difference, CCP wasn't TRIBBLE enough to run 3 separate mmo's on some/all shared hardware/archetecture.
All of you missed my point. CCP has on average <5 minutes of downtime per day. They can have in excess of 800 people in one place, altogether, without having lag. My suggestion was for Cryptic to quite literally ask CCP for the server blueprint, then go make their own. Pointing out that Cryptic are cheap, or dumb for running 3 games through one portal is stating the obvious and therefore need not have been said.
Be glad that this isn't the mirror universe
or someone would be going to the booth for starting this thread
If this were the Mirror Universe we would be lavished with many gifts and much information and apology, however on second thought if this were the Mirror Universe then STO would still be with Cryptic as a Sub only game with a following greater than WoW! AND no server issues whatsoever...probably owned by Carlsberg too ^^

It's still the answer. If you can't run your own ****, you hire someone who can.

Sorry for your loss. Do you know where Cryptic keep us all updated about what the hell is going on with the servers? Like a proper update page or something? Or are we supposed to trawl the whole place for answers?

Did someone fall asleep on the Keyboard?
Makes one wonder doesn't it?
Yeah becasue the servers are always down everyday for days and weeks. :rolleyes:
I'd run away from their offices screaming I suspect having first hand experience on what the acronym "fubar" means. :rolleyes:
Thats because they moved me to the basement and took my stapler I told them I'd burn the place to the ground!
ok I lol'ed
sure at 20% interest.... lmfao
The one about the monkeys or the one about the server being down? O.o

Sig by my better half.
haha both! well played...

put NW and Sto on different servers
It's still the answer. If you can't run your own ****, you hire someone who can.

you'll be in bed thinking as soon as you close your eyes the server will start
