Well, given that its New Years eve, I wouldnt be surprised if someone was TRIBBLE around with people. Hackers have been rather active the last few weeks. Sony and Microsoft servers got hit so everyone ran to their PCs, could be PS4/XB1 attacking the PC's to make people come back to their consoles ;P
sounds like a movie "Terminator 4: Rise of the consoles" :P
glad I just got Wasteland 2 to tide me over for these sever hiccups
Is this part of the data center being down? My internet works just fine for the looks of everything, what I get for getting off work early and planing on spending my New Years Eve with Q...:D.
Well, as they say, "the best laid plans of mice..."
Arthur Dent: "And men,..."
Mice: "What do men have to do with it?"

Unless your ISP is using the same data center (place to house servers) your "internet" working wont correlate with Cryptics server/network problems. 8-)
#1: daily race for a chance to get a Bugship. back then snow piles were an important source of holiday trinkets since most of the sources we have now didn't exist.
#2: first event with Q-Pics. This one you handed them over to an NPC contact to get the Chel Grett, added the snowverlord event and 2 weapons
#3: New ship: plesh brek, first winter event with Event rep. added the Gazebo, more weapons, and the Snow STF
And we really do appreciate the updates from team members...at least I really do. It's a sign of professionalism and integrity.
THAT being said...quite frankly, from someone in "the business" there really are very few reasons for service to be down for any length of time. It really does boil down to money, and how much you want to spend vs. the uptime and quality (lag) of your server bank. I understand one wants to maximize profits, truly I do. I'm a business man myself. I spend upward of 300-500 (any devs can easily verify those numbers) dollars per month when I'm actively playing this game. I know not everyone can do that, and I'm an "atypical customer"....HOWEVER. If YOU spent that much on a game, how would YOU feel right about now when your schedule is INCREDIBLY busy and you get so little time to actually play it in the first place....
Okay, here is the whole truth about what happened:
Cryptic never imagined they would make it to 2015. Therefore they forgot to tell their servers that there will be a 2015. Since the poor servers think the world is ending soon, they all crawled up in a corner and pray to Cyber-Jesus to save them.
This just in: The guy in Times Square responsible for plugging in the New Year's Eve ball could not find an open outlet - so he he had to unplug something ...
This is why this game is not worth any money for subbing. these "rare" system downs last for too long. but you pay nothing - you get your money's worth....

And the servers have been down for about an hour-ish?
Anyone's fleet having a NYE party in C47 tonight :-D

Cogent? Again?
Can't you (Cryptic) get rid of them? They're obviously too cheap...
I'm not exactly sure what you mean with that.

Prolly because he isn't a CM but a techie?
Which does not counter your statement but rather enforces it.
Some might, if the servers are up; at the moment, "not so much"...

Thank god you didn't say Gerbil. memories of the term "Popping Mickey"

The End......

Does this mean the efficiency of Cryptic will increase ? :cool:
This happens every time I have a holiday day off. Clearly this is all my fault.
Guess what ,today I get out of work way early and lo and behold.... server down.......
So , I apologize for being a lazy @#$
Please cryptic, don't punish everyone for my sins.
