New servers, or all the lost costumers this big fiasco will ensure? (And the one that will inevitable result when NW goes live...)
Despite the rage here, it is unlikely that even a fraction of a percent of STO's subscribers would actually quit over this. The amount of lost revenue would be about the same as they pay the office cleaner for a half days work.
Well the sad thing is, not many games get a second chance like this. They've finally succeeded in drumming up a fair amount of interest, but they were so ill-prepared for it that chances are they won't be able to capture the vast majority of it.
So they better hope the changes work out or this'll turn into a net negative as they fail to bring anyone back (they wandered off because they couldn't play the game and never bother to try it again), AND lost existing customers they pissed off.
For this Christmas, I would like to have a Star Trek game that lets me in to play and do cool stuff. Please give the elves lockboxes, so they can get something cool to play with. Thanks, Santa.

Probably not however the whole big marketing push for LOR was at least in some part aimed at people not playing STO. This will entice em in you betcha.
some Flak maybe but some ppl r just down right rude and a lot of them that r saying rude stuff r prob silver players and they prob haven't paid any money so the only ones that should have Flak r the gold members and they can at least be some what nice
We're saying rude stuff because the need for more/dedicated servers was a 100% predictable fekking outcome of bringing a new, highly-anticipated update online. MMOs have been doing this (and failing to have server capacity every damn time) for a while now. I can't believe that people PAID to do this for a living couldn't learn from a decade (and more) of MMO-update-launch mistakes and at least rent a few more servers for the month of the release. YOU, my friend are far too credulous of their corporate line.
I'm not even getting to the character selection screen. I try and log in, i get a login server timed out error, then it sends me back to the login screen!
I hope this gets fixed or someone comes up with a way to prevent this, cuz DAYUM i'm super excited for this
I see less and less posts per minute in here. Did people start logging in succesfully or just tired of whining?
I fear I am the last bastion of British posters, hanging on until tiredness overcomes me. In other words, most of Europe is now asleep, it's up to the Americans to carry the torch now. Go forth my brave forum posters!
I've managed to get as far as Retrieving list of maps.... twice, but it hangs then I get 'login failed for an unknown reason' again.
Twice out of a dozen or so attempts this time around. The rest of the times it either hangs and times out trying to retrieve list of characters, or I get the infamous failed for an unknown reason message again.
All my attempts at loging in earlier all netted the 'Login failed for an unknown reason' message.
I managed to get in briefly. After several login attempts, got the Map to 94%, then lost the server for about 5 minutes, then got to ESD. Started looking at some of the new character stuff, then after 5 minutes, got booted from the server. Haven't been able to get back in since....

wow its still happening i had time to go to wendys, sit down and eat, fix a loak on my car, drive around for a bit, come home, take a shower, call some dude about his cadillac.. and eat a piece of toast and its still.. not fixed... im sorry but forget me buying anything from this game.
Funny thing is, I can log into Tribble just fine. I was able to only see a few friends playing. So I know a few people have made it in, before this trouble.

I see what you did there.

People are just giving up on the game. They are going cold turkey.
Well I'm disappointed...I was expecting that vid to show him in his role from the movie The Thing smashing up electrical equipment with a fire axe. :P
