    Same issue here. Map changes are taking longer and longer.

    However, if you take down the server to fix it I will probably just complain about that as much as I'm going to start complaining about the load times, so you really can't win here, Cryptic.

    I'm guessing serious memory leak in their server pool. We will be crashing soon and we will be down for hours... yet again.

    This is getting old, but what can I do? I'm a lifetime subscriber.

    Yup - it's starting to happen again ... I predict the serves will be down again for several hours like yesterday.

    Getting old for me too. Guess there isn't anything else to do while waiting on the loads. Maybe Cryptic could dump Del Taco and hook up with Netflix. Then they could stream an episode of Star Trek while the game loads. Sitting staring at the glowing Star Fleet badge is boring.

    Yup. For the first time, even i'm noticing it. Not too worried though, it's expected for at least the first couple of weeks after a game goes live. Theyll get it stable.

    As usual, the Europeans are still playing, the Americans are now all playing as well : servers explode. Of course, this may be avoided if Cryptic could upgrade said servers but that would be TOO EASY, right Cryptic ? :D

    Long loading times and chat server lag.

    Yep....seems as though its time for the server to take its daily nap.

    I've been looking at 'loading list of characters" for better than five minutes. That can't be good.

    Long load times and now server not responding...I'm having a strong feeling of Deja Vu.

    Now I get "Server not Responding". Is the server still running?

    Servers have just crashed....memory leak or just simply failed?
    this is getting sad...maybe beta should have been longer?
    so much for this headstart hopefully it will not be things to come.
    i understand ppl are doing everything they can but...

    most ppl will get tired of this and simply leave the game to die ...Sad though cause it is fun if it could work

    Yep, chat not responding now :( And I can't spend skill points either. They keep resetting. Just another "unexpected" failure. AGAIN.

    Same happening to me. Lovely.

    How many pages will the new Unexpected downtime thread make it to today? I predict 500+.

    To any and all Cryptic apologists that say "well...the official launch isn't until Feb 2...this is only Head Start", I'm sorry, but that's bunk.

    We pre-ordered to get into this Head Start. We are paying customers. This is "real".

    If you don't want to complain, then don't complain. But quit cutting Cryptic any slack because this "isn't official". You paid cash to be here. It doesn't get any more official than that.

    You would think with all the amount of downtime they had from the 29 to now they would FIX IT! Going Live is around the Corner, and I don't think people who are going to buy this game, is going to love the fact they can't play or long Loading Times.

    I had a really long load time, and then server crash DURING the load screen. Now I can't get out and have to force close. Such a shame.
