I'm not entirely convinced that the Gorn jokes are gorna happen.

Now, this is a story all about how
My server got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the victim of Neverwinter despair
In west California hosted and praised
On STO was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some klinks bein' a fool
When a couple of Elves who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my server got scared
Its said 'You're movin' with your - Unable to connect to patch server...
So I just got home, tried logging in said to myself "who broke it this time" and then found this post haha, guess I'll go get something to eat then come back to see all the whiners comments!

I dont mind that servers are going down for mantainance, its all for a good porpous :rolleyes: .When this happends I just play other PW games .Everything is down and thats a pity, after a long time beeing away from STO I was exited to kill a few Borgs... I hope new frontiers will be broken in the game development of this game.
Lol, I see your sig and think of a version of that I learned a loooong time ago 'build a man a fire and he's warm for a night, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life' XD
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

You have to remember though that the mods are not mods for all PWE games, only the game they represent. Bran might not have permission to reveal specifics, where that source did.
I do agree that more information needs to be shared, but sometimes, that doesn't help the situation any.
Sorry but ive only been playing this game for 2/3 weeks and stopped spending in the first week due to "issues" so i dont know how there team works but i have to say im not impressed with it at all.
I have played other companies games and had less issues in the time i have played, sure there has been maintenance but it was not "in 25minutes were taking the servers down" they normally give you an hours notice because they understood people were doing missions that had a time requirement or people plan to meet up and play together.
Like i said im not impressed with how cryptic is run as for the community manager not explaining whats going on i dont buy the "maybe he dont have permission to revel" thats his job, to explain to the angry players whats going on. Ive seen in many games where they will copy and paste the same message on all forums and update them too, maybe they had a "plugin" that ran across all forums i dont know.
Bran...this is not good. As I discussed the communications person on FB (since the initial crashes were only being posted there) LoR is a tremendous undertaking. I, along with hordes of other real 1000+ day players and lifetime members such as myself are attempting to balance support with frustration and fear. With LoR coming, the issues going on are creating an image of complete instability. I know personal friends in game and IRL that are planning on returning to STO in 12 days for launch...I anticipate a lot of player returning to check out the new u/i, re-finished Drozana station, and of course the Romulan stuff...but it's been nearly daily now...combined we're talking at least 1.5 days of down time. The devs propagate fixes and then it all crashes or we have these emergency issues. It's player like us who try and keep things positive, remain supportive, and try and minimize the exodus of players that has been going on. Published or not, we all know the numbers are down...but even our patience gets worn thin. This makes it really difficult for us to stay positive and talk to players about why they should remain and not go back to WoW. I don't want what happened to CoH/CoV to happen here. None of us vested/invested players want that. So while you try and manage things, perhaps the week leading up to LoR's launch, you
Should announce an extended down time of 48 hours. Take everything down and make it right, actually fix the problems going on, be the GOTY that you are supposed to be, the GOTY you won for a reason. Players understand server problems but what's happened really had been quite ridiculous and unacceptable. There is still buzz all over the Internet and CNET about EA's disaster with Sim City's reboot, with even the games creator speaking out against EA and Maxis. This is not the sort of publicity STO/Cryptic/PW needs. You only get to launch something once...if you guys TRIBBLE this up, we all suffer. Please try and remember that people talk TRIBBLE because their frustrated, but these same people completely count on you guys and your ability to be stable...this is a great game, IMO, the best MMO created, and I don't want to lose something I am so personally invested in...a lot of hours have gone into gear and sets...prior to the F2P and Rep systems...please, just don't TRIBBLE this launch up...we are all counting on this to bring the numbers back, to get large fleet and more tier 5 fleets and reduced load times for STF's because players are back and running events. Please do whatever it is you need to do to get this right.

I swear this is like the third time i've seen this post.

You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
I like my theory. Someone tripped over the cable and pulled out of the wall. Now, they have to do a hardboot on the servers that's why it is taking a long time for the game to come up.... lol

You forgot to take into account galactic drift and the time dilation effect.

I hate temporal mechanics.
more like sidewise
Current UTC Time (according to Google) - 18:07PM
no its your clock, its 19:08 GMT and UTC is 1 hour behind. 19:08 is 18:08 UTC
I swear this is like the third time i've seen this post.
