    Sorry but this is a FAIL!! why split them... means more down time for everyone instead of one patch means several etc etc...

    I WOULD!! split the games in to diff servers thou not bung them all on one a hope for best...

    at this rate LOR is going to be a EPIC FAIL on launch day

    I fully support the last posting especially the last comment. Tried to download NW yesterday but immediately sto got sooo bad lags that i had to turn the download of to keep playing.
    You don't think that had anything to do with your linespeed not being up to it? :P

    Flamed? No.

    You might get shot up, scammed, and lose all your stuff in short order if you lack a modicum of common sense.

    EVE can be fantastic, but it is very niche and very cuthroat and has serious permanent impacts when you get stuff wrong.

    The fact you lose stuff (even skills trained sometimes) when you die, and the fact it can be the heavily meta-gamed makes it more risky than most are willing to take. Still, it kept me hooked for years.

    If you think fleet management issues or asset stealing are at players own risk and you're prepared to risk losing your ship permanently if you get blown up, the rewards are there.

    If you think life should be fair and just and risk free, its hell.

    Well they said they installed new hardware. It worked fine for a while, then crashed. The most likely cause is that another piece of hardware installed a while back has gone bang lol

    Guess it's going to be a wall staring weekend for most. We've been here before and we're here again. It's going to take a week for them to really sort it out. Remember STO's launch and all the server crashes lol No weekend play for a month if I remember. Every weekend it was down lol:mad:

    Another game to play then mmmmm

    We won't get jack as usual so don't even bother asking, we are not that important to them...

    In all fairness,they are bleeding money right now...if people can't play,they can't spend Zen....no Zen,no money.

    People are frustrated right now with the server being down,the longer it takes for the server to be back up again,the more frustrated people get...even to the point that they don't come back.They need people to play their game to make money,and happy players spend a lot more....it's actually in their best interest to give something to the players to keep them happy.
    The PWE/Cryptic sweatshop...not where the game is made,but where the game is played!

    Take back your home,end the grind!

    This is going to sound terrible, but maybe the servers should stay down for a few weeks. We've been having all these technical issues for a while now and based on what we can see so far on Tribble it looks like the devs still have a MASSIVE amount of bugs to take care of before LOR goes live.

    Maybe Cryptic and PWE should just take the servers offline for a while, replace the hardware with gear that doesn't crash all the time, and give the devs some time to focus on LOR and then launch the NEW and IMPROVED STO at the end of this month.

    Drastic measures ... and I know it isn't going to happen, but technical problems like we keep seeing are just going to get worse when a greater number of players jump online to play the new LOR content.
    In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."

    Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.

    OK PWE/Cryptic, time to come forth with the free Zen. It's Friday night (well early Sat. now), I have insomnia, and want to play.

    I agree on this, there isn't one fan in a computer, there are multiple such as case fans and CPU fan. It would just overheat and corrupt, not catch on fire!

    Probably is one of these things: Hardware, D/DoS attack, network issues and power outage.

    It actually is possible, though highly unlikely, for a server to catch fire. Most servers only have 1 fan in them, to make them as slim as possible, so the server rooms have the temp controlled as well as the humidity level. I did security for a mortgage company that had the temp and humidity controllers fail, and that caused 4 servers to overheat, short out and catch fire.

    no, really, that's in there.

    the best part about TSW is how they manage to work in basically every single conspiracy theory ever (except aliens - at least so far) then give it their own weird spin.

    LOTRO is not bad too... easy to start with story driven "epic"quest.
    RP servers are more friendly and mature.

    you should give The Secret World a try - they have a F2P mechanic that ISN'T pay-to-win, and it's not a bad game

    Pretty sure TSW is b2p, although a cheap buy.

    Eve is good but you have to know what you are getting into lol... its dangerous out there!

    Pasted from the Neverwinter forum---seems they have a Dev Tracker category on that one. Original post was from 12:58 today, but I can't make sense of the time zones used since the forums are different from the servers that are different from...um, where I am, so I get jet lag just fishing for info.

    where did this come from?

    Will defintely have a look. Have been a LOTR fan for over 30 years, so looks like it could be a good backstop for STO every second day......:P

    Nothing on Twitter yet about the outage. Something is defenetly not stiring the kool aid in the server room.
