Has anyone tried to run multiple instances of STO? I just did. I'm in the Que twice. The first I started says I'm in 605 of 2050. The other says 746 of 820. How can they BOTH be right? Simple answer, they aren't.

Don't believe me? Try it for yourself....then come back and tell me the Ques work.

    I would guess they have more than one login server and your que is reflective of whichever server you connected to.

    Computer don't lie. There's simply multiple queues, and which one you end up in depends on whichever seems like the quickest wait whne you've logged on.

    I think they are aware of it... server & queue seem to be down now.

    I was 1360-1350 of 2000+ for over 30min.

    I relogged and I was in within a minute.

    Relog!

    The cake is a lie...
    The queue is a lie...

    But our money was real, right? :D


    BTW - my spot was 594 out of 594. My "out of xxxx" number kept increasing, but my position never changed. Suddenly, I logged in. ?
