    Try this: For some time, I haven't received my monthly Zen as part of my lifetime subscription (LTS). I've alerted Support... nothing. I cannot get a response.

    If I were a PWE shareholder, I would sell at this point.
    that's why i always pay them for the zen at least then i know i am getting my zen and all of it to i might add

    updated info on facebook. go figure
    There is updated information in the Maintenance thread too. Unfortunately people do not like to look up there for some reason.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Well that clears it all up. :D

    Sitting here, knuckles white and buttocks clenched hard,
    I wonder against wonder, when the server will start.

    There are things to be done, and snowmen to be slain,
    Why waste my time, maintaining the game?!

    I want to log in - and log in right now!
    Accede to my demands' or lose this cash cow!

    OK, I was joking, I had some nerd rage,
    The game is now working, I'll get back in my cage.

    Really, you can call the internet police? Well hell, post the number since you are so wise and all. Otherwise, get off of your mommies lap top, move out of her basement, and get a job! Then perhaps you too can share in the frustration those of us who PAY for our stuff feel when we don't getting something we PAID for.

    I'm a LTS and a player since beta. I'm also old enough to be the father or grandfather of most the people in this game. Why don't you learn to make your post a little more clear so it doesn't sound like you are complaining that LTS and gold customers are getting something and you are enraged about it? By the way I spend a lot of money in this game, so smeg off.

    In my career in Silicon Valley, I've been with Fortune 500 companies which did NOT have backup power generators for their data centers. (I'm not naming them specifically. Don't ask.)

    Not everyone applies five 9's uptime preparation -- or common sense.

    Yes, really.

    We are getting hit with some tremendous rains; no gale force winds as predicted -- yet. And the power has stayed on.

    Thanks for sharing that, lordatrocities.

    I would welcome an extension of the Elachi event by one additional day. Entitlement? No. Good customer service? Yes.

    Hi everyone,

    The STO login servers are experiencing some problems and they are investigating.

    The all clear from today's patch has not come through it was still with the QA team.

    People are being let into the game (for the moment) - I too managed to get in; but after a short time I got disconnected, which seems to be what is happening to others.

    When I hear more news, I'll pass it on. The community team are on their way to the offices atm and should hopefully be able to communicate anything from Cryptic when they have it.

    They have adopted the PvP queue system for the login server.

    Seemed like a good idea at the time.

    The outage seems to be due to a severe storm.

    If the outage caused by the storm occurred during the server patch, then expect the server to be down for a while since that probably means the server will have to be patched again.

    Funny you say that...
    Two years ago, I was having lunch at Willow Street Pizza in Los Gatos. From a nearby table, I overheard this group of people dissing members of their own company loudly in public.

    Want to guess what company?

    I let our former STO CM know about the incident with specifics; he verified they were there; those people were going to be talked to. To be blunt, there are plenty of coffee shop/restaurant incidents like this around Silicon Valley. Employees should ALWAYS apply common sense and NOT discuss sensitive information in a public space.

    Not sure if it was a free lunch for them, but they certainly F'ed it up...

    Cause its always the same story?
    Fix 1 bug, break 3 more things...

    Random server deaths/disconnects...
    Its getting pretty usual to see trouble each week :|

    Baloney. The outtage is not attributed directly to the storm, rather Smirk's travel to the office. Re-read the tweet.

    I guess some are too blind to read - or just don't care too. Either way, here is the latest info posted again for your convenience. Enjoy.

    Give it some time, they'll get it sorted. :D

    The west coast is being battered by the worst storm in years (according to weather.com).

    Those blaming cryptic for everything need to take a good look around and visit some weather/news sites before passing judgement on something cryptic cannot control.
