    that goes by the moto "maximize profits minimizing expences" So what happens is that the companies have less than needed bandwidth cause although on the open they claim they have milions of players/customers in fact they provide resourses for much fewer than what they have already. Its the same as banks. If everybody was to go tomorrow and take his monay out of a bank all the banks in the world would go bankrupt. Same with STO and every popular MMO. If every player decides to log in a specific time their server will sink. Imagine this game as a bus that offers tickets for rides the whole year to people . They sell the tickets to many more people than the availiable seats counting in some advanced marketing formula saying that for example in truth you can get out with customers divided by X amount of actual seats since its very unlikly that everyone will wanna travel at the same time! So that maximizes the profit in normal circumstances. Same happens with ISPs same happens banks , same happens with about every company type in modern world All this happens because the companies have never enough "seats" for the so called customers because based on such statistics they think they can get away with much less "seats" . But sometimes this is thrown out of the window cause sometimes people log in all together as if it was a pre-planed
    and everything goes to hell.

    Things get "undone" only if DB gets corrupted. I highly doubt what we're experiencing here is that severe. So don't worry.

    Someone needs to restart the servers and if the database isnt corrupted we all can login again and nothing will be lost.

    What does that little red light on the login screen mean?

    You'd think that this game makes enough $$$ so they could provision it to take a busy weekend's player load….


    its not hard RED means off

    Green means ON

    its easy and simple LOL

    How true, how true. It is live stream day and they wanted lots of people watching, but perhaps didn't think everyone would log into the game too while they waited for the live stream to start. Either that, or the Kazon are back......:D

    I took a look. You lied to me. It's disgusting, there's green everywhere and there's so many mobs that I can't kill them all to get a moment's rest.

    A mod and a dev have posted. The mod is cleaning up the forums, the dev said they're working on it. :)
