    This is what happens when you use one server to run two games. Cost effective sure; Customer satisfaction, not so much :P

    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation will take care of that, someone mail Cryptic some critical/major/minor regenerators, it's about time that hamster had its injuries taken care of. Poor Crippy has more injuries than some of the people I've seen in eSTF pugs.

    No no no. His name was Crippy cuz Cryptic and also because he was crippled from keeping those servers going. He only got a break for a couple hours every Thursday morning, fer cryin out loud.

    Having the same issue, was in game, but got kicked out when I tried to change characters.

    and here I thought it was just me; I even went through a force verify for no good reason. *shakefist* damn you PWE!

    Alas, poor Crippy! I knew him well. With his bright inquisitive eyes, his unfailingly cheery personality and his enormous cheek pouches. Pouches where PWE/Cryptic hid all the Purple Drops. This is what killed Crippy. The Ebil Minyons of the Dark Forces got poor Crippy hooked on Purple Drops. Instead of sending them on to players, Crippy stuffed them into his cheeks to feast upon them later. The Ebil Minyons of the Dark Forces soon discovered that letting Crippy have regular overdoses of Purple Drops enhanced his strength and speed. At the cost of his health. The last time I saw Crippy, he was looking wan and tired. The Purple Drops also created a vicious cycle where he would run furiously for about 24 hours and then collapse in complete exhaustion. A single Purple Drop caused him to perk up nearly immediately. Whereupon he would again run furiously for about a day.

    One Purple Drop became two. Two Purple Drops became four. And so on. In the end, his body starved of nutrients, Crippy simple ceased to exist. The CSI team called in to process Crippy's custom designed HabiTrail, discovered a layer of Purple Drops throughout the cage's living and sleeping areas nearly two meters thick. One of the investigators described the scene thusly:

    "The stench was overpowering and the sight was nigh on unbearable. Whenever I start to think about all those players being denied Purple Drops I begin to get really angry."

    R.I.P. Crippy. Please join me in alerting Sto'Vo'Kor a new warrior approaches with a rousing death howl.

    So long as this game persists to flip to STOffline once in awhile, it can endure for an eternity.

    Don't they have trip-proof cabling or water-resistant servers or something?

    Knowing Cryptic, the servers run on wi-fi and they STILL tripped over the cables. :cool:

    (The servers may be waterproof, but not drool proof. Derp.);)

    Yep - Unable to Authenticate on either the STO or NW servers - so it's not one game - the entire game login server seems to be having major issues (although Forum authentication seems unaffected as I had no problem logging onto the Forums to post this.)

    You guys at Cryptic really need to get your network hardware in order as occasional hiccups are one thing, but something like this be it login or other major server issues seem to happen 3 - 4 times a wek for long stretches. As your offerings are all F2P - it's a sure way to turn off new players before they even get to try the games you have out.
