They would also probably like the whole team in the office when it goes live in case they have to make emergency bug fixes.
Yep, this. I've seen many a game hold off release until more of their office staff is available. They may also be waiting on their customer support staff to come in.

Keep calm, and continue firing photon torpedoes.
cryptic used to do patching early in the morning in europe and the turn of the day in the states where no one was likely to be online except a few zombie players.. which is why i never accept cosmicone's comment no matter what. things can change.
And Cryptic still has access to the one thing you don't have: server data.
The truth is they've changed the patch time several times over the years, but the one constant they've always said was that it was due to server data.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
I was already very exited about LoR, but now, when I read full patch notes, I'm jumping in my chair. Very nice set of fixes/improvements to the old game in addition to new content.
You can start patching now, servers are a while away from going up though. It's a 10GB patch by the way
It's 10 gigs if you didn't pre-patch. If you've pre-patched it's much, much smaller. I think I got 27 MBs received due to my pre-patch.

Can I delete the contents of my pre-patch folder after the game is done patching those 10GB of data? It's taking up a lot of free space I could use for... ehm.. something else.
I got a 10GB pre-patch, and it's a 10GB patch now, it's patching pretty quickly though, only started a minute ago and it's already 2GB in
It says 10 GB, but it's not taking all 10 GBs from the Cryptic patch servers if you pre-patched. It's taking some from Cryptic and transferring some from your pre-patch folder at the same time - it's updating whatever changes between when you pre-patched and now. Look at the Received line to see how much you've actually gotten. That will be different for everyone.
If you didn't pre-patch you're in for the 10 GBs, though.

Yep... It is... 'Can't Connect to Log in Server'... Was hoping for a surprise maintenance completed ahead of schedule. I did get all patched up though on Tribble and Holodeck, so I'm ahead of the game.
The Galaxy needs you to fight the Iconians and their Heralds in order to protect our interests and freedoms in the Galaxy. Join the fight in the Herald/Iconian War today! :cool:
for some of us it gets released later in the night.
This is a massive undertaking. More than likely some of the DEVs did work the graveyard shift setting everything up for the main group that started at 6 a.m. PDT. I would rather the DEVs come in rested and ready rather than buzzed and half dead zombies.

Everyone knows that the best work done for anything is when the workforce is zombie like and buzzing from caffeinated products
Now I just have to wait until some time after 3pm Eastern Standard Time.. Good thing I'll be out of the home during the remainder of the maintance time.
You think that your beta test was bad?
Think about this: American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
The golden rule is to always have additionally at least as much time as the job requires to be completed - i.e. if you need 3 hours, you will say that you need 6 - thus if something goes wrong (and with such big as^2 updates it will probably happen), you can take your time and fix the issue(s).

Not really, when I was in the military putting in two twelve hour shifts back to back running on two pots of coffee one can of jolt and nodoze I was less productive pinging off the walls like a superball with the attention span of a two year old.
A shame it's going to go live at 2pm my time. That is the busiest time here at my job (The one place I can play this game at full graphics due to the work computer being light years better than my home laptop.)
Kinda hope it finishes early, but knowing me I'll be staying late tonight getting my character at least to level 11 so I can do (if this is anything like the fed side 1-50) the romulan mirror events whenever I want.
You should now be able to start patching Legacy of Romulus via the launcher -- please note that our current ETA is still Noon PDT (~4.5 hours from now).

Who cares what time its released, you know its it not long now,
Good job, Cryptic!

we are on British summer time (BST) which is UTC +1. So if server comes back online at 1900 Hrs it will be 2000Hrs (8Pm) UK time.
That is the files being patched. the download itself will be smaller, but as I've done it in stages I cant say what it would be.

Time servers went down for maintenance
Time servers are expected to be up
Xbox next reveal event :P

But no one will be allowed to log in post-patch until they:
#1 had a shower
#2 socially interacted with any living breathing creature/person/goldfish/kittycat.......
So don't delay so you don't miss out
"You seem to have gotten some of your blood in my raktajino. This is unfortunate."
The Goldfish and kitty kats shall have revenge.
Random Cat: "Do you think your world is safe?......"
