I see on the main page server maintenance as server status. few minutes ago I got disconnected. I managed to get back on however when I went back into the mission that I had been doing for the past 15 minutes I have been loading into that system for over 5 minutes already. (however since I was able to log back in I assume eather the server is down or my internet is on the fritz)
Same deal here. Was in the middle of Slowing the Expeditionary Forces fleet action and got disconnected. Got back on eventually, started again, and got kicked maybe 5 minutes later.

This is starting to be a friggin joke... Every weekend wen ppl can and want to play the most the servers simply crash... common, this is to be expected cryptic, have someone on standby to push the reset button and or add those update servers asap will ya.

Yep, same here - just picked up the new ship... went to put items on it and they wouldn't take... so I tried to beam back to the old ship - and go tthe boot *shrug*
Wow...First Friday evening post go-live in the United States and the server crashes due to... (please choose one of the following):
1) Forgot to feed the Hamster
2) Spilled a Coke on the server
3) Never paid the power bill 4) Have known since OB that the single shard strategy coulldn't handle the demand and still don't have enough servers/bandwidth to handle it :rolleyes:
We would just like to take a moment to tell you how thrilled we are that you all have managed to make our servers take another dump, and how excited we are for future dumps! Without you, our players, we wouldn't be able to hose our servers nearly as often!.
this is a result of too low server capacity and too many players.....
if cryptic is not responding to this they will loose accounts after the 30 days free period....
ok we are still in some kind of beta phase(every mmog in the first 1/2 is in some kind of beta as i said earlier....)
but SERVER CAPACITY is NOT included in a beta...thats just an easy to solve technical problem....
They are working to increase capacity by this weekend. though again I will reiterate what I have been saying since beta.. Server isnt there only issue, I believe they are missing a vital point and thats their bandwidth allocation. "They just dunna have enough of it"

SO DO IT.....
They are holding out for more money, 1 million accounts just isn't enough for them
i played jumpgate(classic) since beta...i played eve online since beta.....i played age of conan since beta(i tried wow but after 4 week.....you know what i mean..too colourful)....
EVERY of these games had the same problem sto has right now(spontan server crashes,unexpected downtimes and so on) sto is not different to other games in their first half year.....
it will be better after this period...they just have to work hard and we will have a great game....

Objection!
Something like this clearly contradict the (Cryptic) witnesses testimony that there is and will ever be just one server![/Phoenix Wright mode]
Honestly... it would only result in people being frced to play on their regional Servers, and honestly I do NOT want to play on a German or EU Server. :rolleyes:
personally I look on all this with a postive light. Too many players indicates that the game is exceeding the devs expectations in terms of popularity. More popularity = greater growth = more revenue = more content.
As for the crashes, yes it sucks, but no they don't have to give us anything in terms of compensation. That is entirely down to them to decide.
If I was Cryptic, I'd be holding off on any announcements regarding compensation until the first month is over. Then it can all be calculated up.
First time since launch I've been unable to play due to a crash. A first for every mmo I've played, they all had many more crashes that lasted for the first few months while their engineering and dev teams worked to improve the hardware/code. While Cryptic will no doubt have crashes I've seen dramatic improvement just in the last week alone.
Single shards while not as easy as multiple smaller clusters are in the end more fun for players.
Am I the only one who's launcher correctly reports server up to down, but never reflects when the server comes back online? I killed a lot of the open beta and headstart thinking they were down but when I logged in expecting to timeout I got in.
Does anyone know if they even have a auto-refesh cycle (as suggested in the briefing "Please keep an eye on this page for updates and notification when Star Trek Online is available again.")?

Same happening to me and a friend too.
GIVE US AN EU SERVER HOLY ****

Now it won't let me back in...
Why don't you love me STO? ...I'm sooo good to you....
I think we need some counseling to get our relationship back on-track...
Or I need to kill you and bury you under the flower-bed with all the others....

2) Spilled a Coke on the server

Please pick your choice now.
Keep up the good work!

Oh, and as a reminder, all the non-preorder people in Europe got STO for the first time today, so its no surprise the servers are struggling...
But as the man said, a high volume take up is a good sign for the ..ah.. future
