Hello fellow Trekkies and soon-to-be Trekkies! As I am sure most of you are aware the main server (Holodeck) has been down for most of, (If not all of) today, the first day of the anniversary event. Needless to say this was disconcerting for those of us who want to spend a good amount of time attempting to acquire the high-end rewards that one can get from such type of events, as we now have one less day to do so with the first day being consumed by an offline server.
My recommendation, with only hints of intense pleading upon one's knees, would be to compensate this loss for the veterans, the devoted, the loyal, the extremely enthralled and even the new players by extending the event one more day (If at all possible.). This would not only allow the originally intended amount of available time to play through the event and gain the rewards without losing three night's sleep, however, it would impart elation upon many who's smiles turned to frantic pressing of the refresh button upon discovering today's downtime. It would certainly impart a fresh and new sense of excitement I otherwise wouldn't have even if there was no downtime. (There's no better feeling than the realization that your previous feeling of loss is moot.
)
This is simply my opinion from a player's perspective. I am sure there would probably be logistical issues with such a thing, however, if it would help P.W.E. and Cryptic weigh the benefits and detriments to see if it is a good balance, I request other like-minded members of the community post their (Respectfully thoughtful*) opinion and constructive criticisms regarding the situation, whether you agree with this recommendation or not, why, and your vision of how things would proceed both good and bad if it went whatever way you hoped for.
Give us your thoughts!
Be well, sleep well, fight well, live long.

*Regardless of how eager any of us are, it is ultimately not our choice, and I request suppressing any potential volatility or frustration over recent events or verdict in favor of allowing the reader to better absorb your point of view with a calm and neutral tonality. Though I have no doubt in anyone about this, as it is the internet I felt a little emphasis may assist.
