Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, October 17th, at 5AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to last for 6 hours or less. The test server, launcher and access to manage your account may also be unavailable during some portions of the maintenance.

Friendly reminder: Downtime ETAs are not based off the size of the patch, but off what maintenance needs to be completed. The reason for the extended maintenance time frame is due to an infrastructure upgrade.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    Nah, I'm betting Q did it.

    Toreth was probably off getting things ready in Q's Winter Wonderland for another round of Winter Epohh tags and breeding.

    General server stability updates.

    For six hours of downtime, I expect a heck of a stability update :P

    >Vice Admiral Elessedil here. My team infiltrated the mountain pass north of the Vastam Peaks. We found Toreth here, who went MIA from the Epohh Fields a while back. We found her whilst scouting out a Tal Shiar base that was cloaked very well; it almost escaped sensors without noticing.

    We'll escort her back to her post, but it'll take a few hours for her to recover. She got some scraps of skin torn by the Hirogen. Until then, I suggest holding your epohh tags for later.

    Elessedil out.

    At first, I thought she was sleeping off too many Romulan Ales the night before. Then I heard that the Epohh's were holding here hostage. Glad to see PWE met the nasty little varmints' demands.

    In all seriousness, glad this is getting taken care of. And while 6hrs is no joke, I'm glad to see the early start to help alleviate gametime loss :)

    A 6 hour maintenance cycle for a patch that restores a mission giving NPC, and "General server stability updates"?

    Methinks someone is maybe swapping out/upgrading hardware (Or is it some ARC backend testing for the day Cryptic/PWE makes ARC mandatory? <-- And yes, I unfortunately think this will be the case in the near future, despite any player requests to the contrary - IE to keep ARC optional.)

    Nope, the Epohhs finally turned on her. Dangerous, those things are. They had to hire a replacement.

    While I am also rather certain that ARC being forced is semi-inevitable (I imagine Steam will remain an alternate portal), I don't think that they're going to be using this time to conduct that sort of testing. They probably ARE going to actually be upgrading infrastructure. I would suppose that, unless there was a serious problem anticipated, they wouldn't need to test ARC being mandatory that way on the back end.

    wow that's going to take 6 hours to do? How about while you're at it fixing the chat bugs that have been in game since LoR or is the chat system not that important to you? I know it sure kills the game for me...

    *server stability uppgrades*

    Here we go again. Nearly every time you guys do one of these, there will be trouble afterwards. Like servers crashing or other bugs, like when Azure Rescue went borked...

    Hope this goes well, and that this will help reduce lag when the new FE is released, whenever that might be.

    It better be worth 6hrs downtime Mr.Cereal Box...

    Brain,

    Are we being trolled?

    Patch Notes:
    General:

    Toreth the Epohh Researcher is back on New Romulus.
    General server stability updates.

    Maintenance Notice:
    We will be performing shard maintenance on October 17th from 5-11:00 AM PDT (1200-1800 UTC). Please check the forums for more information.

    SIX HOURS for this?
    Said NO to Arc. Gets punished by not being given a free outfit, free lobi, and free shuttle. Now forced to use Arc's site when trying to get to STO site. Still not rewards for beta testing the Arc website by force. Bravo Cryptic.
