I'd love to know the logic behind doing this and also putting on the MI event rather than delaying it so there's no overlap.
What'd be the point in either delaying necessary platform maintenance or an entire event just so there's no overlap? It's not like this can't be compensated for either by the existing extra time in the event (14 transporter tokens over 21 days) or an extra day tacked onto that.

Hey folks,
2pm
I've updated the OP, but tomorrow's maintenance has been extended until 2pm PT. All games will be down during that time. Thanks for being patient.
So the maintenance taking 8 hours (est) means EU won't be able to play at all tomorrow?
This is 2pm - 10pm UK time....
Actually that means NO ONE anywhere will be able to play Star Trek Online.
2pm til 10pm uk time is kind of when a lot of EU folk would be playing so yes we do lose a day.
I'd love to know the logic behind doing this and also putting on the MI event rather than delaying it so there's no overlap. Are player numbers dropping so fast that cryptic needs another bums on seats event to show numbers to the pwe overlords?
Or why they don't take those 8 hour chunks and stagger the maintenance so the same part of the globe doesn't have to put up with the lost days.
There's been a 3 week event like this at approximately this time of year for the last 3 years, at least, so no desperation here, just a regular event for this time of year. As for the maintenance, it happens during business hours, and the servers are located in the US, so that means it happens now. It's unfortunate for those who live in other parts of the world, but it's a fairly rare thing, occurring on an irregular schedule, rarely more often than once a quarter. I think you'll survive.
This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

The discussion is about STAR TREK ONLINE BEING DOWN...try to pay attention. My comment has been edited for your better understanding.
When we lose a full day and many hours on other days, can we please get an extension of the Mirror Invasion event? Otherwise I doubt if I can get to 14 if it keeps going like this.

The crew seems to be in a frozen state due to an entity greater than Q..It calls itself Cryptic..We hope we can negotiate some sort of an agreement where the crew can resume normal duty but thus far negotiations have failed..We dont know how long this standoff will be for but I'd say weér at the mercy of cryptic..

TOR is bad, looks petty and nothing but a money grab game..I use to play it..Now I use it on STO maintenance days only for time pass for about 30 mins till I'm bored and till my STO client finishes patching and is online again..
I don't mind TOR... I sub for one month once a year... Right around my birthday with an Amazon gift card... That way I don't have to worry about the recurring subscription... Anyway, it opens all the content for me to play on all 8 of my toons (one for each faction)... It usually takes me a full year to get them done, so I'm happy...

seems as though the downtime would be better if started on an east coast time frame or at least through the early morning hours like 5AM EST then maybe people would be able to play by the time they were off work , myself id be happy if i could get a @name rename instead of a run around,still though i play anytime i can ty for the continued content , but common dont give some people an archon class and not all of us :P

Yes it was actually there banner on the consoles saying June something can't remember the date
Stop moaning about then doing maintenance. As an ex Systems Administrator I know what it is like to run a big game like this. If they are making the game more stable then let them take all the time they need. Its best to get things right first.
If they are upgrading hardware or the software then that takes time, just think how big the database is and how much data they have to deal with.
If there are problems after this, then we can moan. I am personally a lifetime subscriber so if they do mess up I want some kind of compensation, as we all will. While I am on about being a lifetime subscriber, who do PCs get 500 zen per month but us console users not? That I would like answering.
Also for those who are moaning about events going on, did you not plan around this maintenance, its not like they didn't give us any notice?
The Season 13 is coming to consoles on the 6th of June for people who missed it.
For anyone who wants to hit me up in Eight of Severn in the game, Romulan, in the 4th Legion Vanguard.

I know it's necessary, but i still hope it finishes early so i can refine my dilithium today and beat up some mirror universe before i have to turn in for the night.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Can you please finally fix bug in 8472 counter command fluidic blast that is not functioning since day one ?
Also 23rd century captains cant finish new romulus reputaion tier 3 and tier5 and cause of that cant claim tier5 prize.
Hmm... did anyone else notice they posted the wrong end of event time on the event buggart... I find this odd, strange, and most of all... human. Keep up the good fight against bugs and trolls Admins!

Ok it's 3:15 and it's still not up. It says that it will be back up at 3:00 pm where I'm at. Any news

If they were LATE getting them up, I'd start complaining. Since they are nearly 1 and a half hours early, I'll give them all the time they scheduled for.
Servers were scheduled to be down until 2pm Pacific. Seeing as how it's 12:23pm Pacific (when I started writing this) and they seem to be almost done, I'm happy enough to not quibble.
Hello. My name is iamynaught and I am an altaholic.
can someone explain to me why maintenance for pc has taken 8 hours? also, why pc was last to get worked on when its been the main source of the game since its inception????

Hardware maintenance across platforms and across various games. Six to eight hours is to be expected for this although i still hope they manage to shave off some time.

Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
It was scheduled to take 8 hours due to the amount of things they needed to do. From my understanding, this was a company wide maintenance. Every game has been down for this maintenance, not just STO. STO on the XBox got done first, they came up first. I saw earlier that Champions is up as well. Sometimes hardware upgrades don't go as quickly as they should.
They scheduled it to take 8 hours, they still have more than an hour left. It looks like they might get done early, but if they don't it'll take as much time as it takes. I'd rather they get it right than rush and have to take the game back down.

Will there be patch notes after? I've been away for 4 years, really impressed with how the game looks and plays now.
Don't believe there will be patch notes as there isn't a patch. This was a hardware maintenance.
