    Reports of our servers being down are in. We have our team investigating. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. Web hope to have the hamsters back in the Computer Core post haste! We will update you with an ETA as soon as we can.

    Hope you all have a great NYE!

    I would like to take this time to bring an important tidbit of information to your attention...the ALT-F4 suggestion is merely a troll that people use in game to catch inexperienced players off guard and cause their program to close. It is not, nor will it ever be a quick fix to reset gaming servers....Sorry for the confusion, I do hope this helps.

    Maybe with this server outage people will realize that there are better games that STO and no one will come back to play this garbage of a mmo that always breaks down when Hard working people that have free time can play. I will be glad when Star Citizen will come out I already have plans to get Elite Dangerous. So keep messing up Cryptic make it where I don't want to invest money in this game anymore Please!!!!!

    will buddy i have news for you, players will still come back this wonderful game,

    and if you dont want to play it thats up to you and you think its all garbage; will i have news and idea for you.
    log out of the game complete and uninstall
    and dont come back your self
    star trek online is not garbage

    and not being funny, any online game will have bugs. its normal. you cant have a server with out bugs, theres always bound to be a glitch or 2...

    Does that justify consistent mediocrity? It doesn't... that's the point. No game is perfect... yes. Does that justify a game being mediocre compared to some others in one area or another?... no. It's that simple.

    I just got into the game, with the red light on saying servers are down!

    Then got kicked again less than 5 minutes later.

    So much for celebrating the new year in on STO :(

    Going to be optimistic that STO will be back up in time to celebrate the new year.

    They still have 1 hour and 50 minutes to give the hamster CPR :D

    It happens every holiday and expansion release due to 2 things. First is the increased load on the servers from the increased logins due to more time on the part of the players. Secondly hackers get their yuks in hacking the server at said times creating even more havoc. TRIBBLE happens. *shrugs*
    This feels like STO sometimes lol

    First off, before everyone gets their knickers in a knot, I actually DO know what I am talking about since I've been a SysAdmin for almost 20 years now.

    With the resources you folks have, I'm shocked this kind of issue can happen. I'm sure you rake in the dough so why don't you have redundant servers? I'm managed gaming servers before. Its not rocket science. Use EasyDNS to shift and manage your DNS and you're left with a grand total of 5 minutes of theoretical downtime.

    If this is a dDoS, then why aren't you mitigating already? I'm sure your NOCs have this in place. If they don't, for a company of your size, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Also, before the flaming begins, I may not be a 'monthly subscriber' but I just dropped money on this game buying updates. So yeah, I do have quid invested just like many of you.

    Get your S#17 together folks...

    Server stability patches aren't.

    Sorry for your hamsters. I have a nice ferret if that will help get the servers back up and running.

    Happy New Year :D

    First off get over your self your a nobody just like the rest of us. The only reason why people come back to this wonderful game (Sarcasm) is because of all the money and time they invested not because they like it. People put up with this game and hope that it gets some what fixed. Its like a abusive relationship where people just tolerate things till they can find something better.

    Also the unlimited grind to get items,ships,and to play the new campaign that makes this game garbage. Even if you invest real money in to this game your spending hundreds of dollars just so you can get a ship that will be out dated in several patches.

    Keep being a fan boy

    Better than it was an hour ago. Could not even get the launcher to open then.

    So basically they managed to divert enough hamsters to power thrusters but still no impulse or warp drive.

    I have a cocktail ready and loaded here!

    This...is all wrong. This is not the way it's supposed to be.

    I spend too much time in Ten-Forward
