    ya cause those games never have problems... stop being such a little ***** and give them time to fix the issue, its not like they are SOE and have allready given up on their game like planetside 2

    Those games don't have as many problems, their service departments generally don't tell everyone to have the game scan files instead of informing the public of a known issue, and every time there's a major patch they generally don't have memory leaks. I've had a memory leak in this game with every major expansion that last for weeks after launch and anytime I've messaged these people about it in support scanning the files (which is something I've done multiple times before contacting them) is all they ever have to say on the subject. That says something about the coding and the support department.

    Server still down. And no word from Cryptic to what's happening, could this be a DDoS attack? Are the hamsters stoned?

    Everyone settle down.

    There are plenty of games by competent developers still online and available to play.

    Checked WoW. It's online.
    Checked Guild Wars. It's online.
    Checked Guild Wars 2. It's online.
    Checked Rift. It's online.
    Checked Eve. It's online.
    Checked LotRO. It's online.

    I'm sure the others I would check if I could be bothered are still online.

    Just making a point for Cryptic and their incompetence. :)

    I'm guessing you copy/paste this & just change 1 name anytime any game has a server issue.

    Well if they are they could at least pass it around so we'd all get some. 12+ pages and no word yet.

    I just got back in. Fingers crossed...

    Me too. Although I was at the end of a fairly long mission when I got booted, and now i'm shoved back to the beginning. Three cheers for doing it all over again.

    But once these things start, they tend to go completely ape for 8+ hours. I am sure we can look forward to a "The shard will go down in 1 hour. message soon.

    Oh. I got disconnected as I typed this. I'd be surprised if this didn't happen all the time. I suspended my account for a year last time because they had this problem. I only play sporadically anymore. If this is happening enough for ME to notice, this isn't growing pains. This is incompetence either by their developers or their operations staff.

    Time? how about almost five years is that enough time for ya

    Have to agree, memory leaks in this game shouldn't be happening, they are a problem from beta, they shouldn't return if the coding department was fixing it correctly. I experience this same problem each and ever expansion.

    Doom! Doom I tell you.

    I'm just happy I had the good sense to do my mirror event runs earlier.

    So no more STO today, hopefully tomorrow this will work again.
    Galavant!

    If this is a DDoS attack, it's not really the developers fault. Loads of games had this at 1 point. World of ******** got this earlier this year and so did Final Fantasy XIV. Final Fantasy was almost unplayable for a whole week. Then the DDoS people got bored and moved on to Facebook.

    Not again... And prime time EU to boot :(

    Seems to be either the Login2 server, or the main server that is causing this. This really stinks Cryptic...

    Guess I'll go log into GW2 and explore the new area some more on my engineer. At least I know that that game won't crash on me because of a memory leak or a login server malfunction due to their new content.

    I managed to get through a mirror STF, despite about 7-8 forced logouts. Thankfull I still got the rewards.

    And now I've been kicked out again...

    I'm only able to stay in the game for about a minute or two each time before being kicked. It seems to be an issue with the character server, since that's the part of the login process that's taking the most time to work.

    this is the Iconions master plan, we were to busy fighting mirror ships and collecting particles and they swooped in and killed off our hamsters. :(

    Darned cheap-skate Chinese overlords at PWE bought out-of-date hamster pellets & bought tofu-flavor instead of Bacon-flavored. And geko forgot to change out the soiled wood shavings, so the hamsters further revolted by peeing on the ethernet connections again.:D

    It seems that since they added Apple compatibility this server crash is happening way more
    often.

    Why can't they put a message up when trying to log, to atleast inform us to what's going on? Is this where my gold Subscription money goes? To a game that's terribly unstable with a lack of communication from the very people that should be informing us to what's going down?

    If everyone is getting it then they are either trying to update the database with it online or as most others have said a DDoS attack and thankfully these forums don't use the same server >.<

    I guess they took the server down with no warning. I hope they fix what's wrong
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    The point is, little troll, that STO, under Cryptic's inept hand, has many, many problems - well beyond this. Server outages like this are just a symptom of the overall incompetence this game has been handled with since Beta.

    Which reminds me, there are still bugs in this game that existed since Beta. :)

    You run along, now. I'm going to go play a different game.

    No, actually, I never bothered before. I rarely comment on the server being down, what with all the other problems there are with this game to point out.

    But you go ahead and make assumptions that make you look like foolish Cryptic Fanboi. We'll wait. :)
