Any idea on when we'll at least be able to start downloading the patch? Barring that, could you at least say about how big the patch is? I'm worried that with the extended maintenance that if it is a somewhat large patch, I won't be able to get it downloaded and still have time to play today, so it'd be nice to plan ahead to find something else to do today.
The last thing I want to do is sit here waiting for the patch server to come up only to find it's a 2+ gig download. Which with everyone else hammering the patch server at the relative same time would mean my already slow download speed would become even slower. Making even a 500mb patch likely require 2-3 hours.
The patch notes look small so it could end up being a fairly small patch. Which is what I'm hoping for.
The reason why the maintenance window was extended was due to the presence of an issue specifically with patching. That's what we're looking into right now.
I'd rather the game be down all day, so they can fix an issue that could potentially cause alot of harm, than for them to rush it and end up letting say this issue with the patcher through.
pwlaughingtrendy, you keep up the good work, and thank you very much for keeping us up to date, there are some of us gamers who do appreciate and are thankful for the work you do.
keep on trekking, folks.
Agreed! Extended maintenance to actually fix an issue before turning it all back on and then inevitably running into problems, is a good thing.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

We're sorry guys for the long delay during the Star Trek Online upgrade. Be advised that the reason for the delay is that we have hired a new tech support agent and he seems to be a little preoccupied......
Have a Good Day,

I'm impressed with the 12,000 views this thread has received today.

One of the major concerns is that whenever you have network changes, it can cause failures when the shard is live which requires it to get taken down again, repatched, restarted, and then needing another whiteglove check. This has happened in the past, and it's something we're keen to avoid.

Take a seat and have a chill pill. Trendy's trying to get us an ETA.
Ah well..there goes my window of opportunity to play. Risa and "Flying High" will have to wait until tomorrow. On the plus side so will dragging my neglected Delta Recruit through the rest of the "Cardassian Struggle"..
Will keep my fingers crossed for a smooth restart for you lot at 22.00.
And Trendy..you either have a lot of patience..or a battered stress doll..

In the same boat with the Cardassians. The only struggling really happening is with my sanity.

Yes, because Trendy is a server admin. Or even in the same building as the servers. If these are Cryptic servers she doesn't even technically work for the same company as the ones working on the issues. Get a clue before you criticize people for doing their job.
As I recall, Trendy works in an office in California - nearly three thousand miles (around 4800 km) from the server farm outside Boston. Even if she had the requisite expertise, they'd need a four-hour trip by jet to put her on the job.
