every evening server goes down.at weekends durring the days server goes down. ok i agree every new MMO will have problems,but it has been 2 weeks since head start and during the playable times of european players server is down or we have "server not responding" long loading times. i was always positive about this game since release but this weekend is totally diseaster. i am not even sure employees of cryptic responsible for this maintenance know what2s going on with game. Server goes down admin posts about the situation and writes there is NO patch so sure.but then i download a 160 mb patch. We don't have space action bar 1 since 2 days, tickets never get answer in-game. Come on guys we loved this game....

    Don't lie. It may go down around 12-2pm for Europeans, but it rarely goes down for schedules maintenance during Prime Time (5pm-11pm) for Europeans.

    Not unless some how Europe is now hovering over Japan or Australia.

    I'm getting tired of hearing Europeans whine about scheduled maintenance... especially when EVERY scheduled maintenance is during MY (Japan) actual prime time.

    Are you aware this is a US based game, with US develoeprs, US backing and a US franchise.
    Are you aware that the servers come down when the least amount of players are on the servers?

    Whatever they do, they will be upsetting someone.

    Its amusing isn't it. Living on this side of the world (Aussie and Japan) and listening to the Europeans cry about how they can't play around noon... and how the server maintenance needs to be changed because it favors Americans.

    Yet the people really being punished, especially during week days, is us. lol

    Right ok I had to respond to these first 2 reply posts on this thread, firstly he is not lying I am a UK player and the server is ALWAYS playing up for myself and many others on many other connection types.

    Secondly YES this is a US game with US developers US backing and US franchise that makes BILLIONS of pounds in EUROPE and sells there goods to EUROPE and is supported by EUROPE.

    If this were an exuse at all then they wouldnt issue the game to Europe ********!

    hangon are you telling us europeans not to complain at weekends when the server goes down for maintenance? i wonder, would you USA players be on the website moaning if it was done during YOUR weekend time.

    can his comments be classed as racist ?

    This is lousy, like most people I work through the week so the only time I can play this game is on a weekend and that's when they decide to talk the game off line. Been trying to play about 4 hours now, server is down again, when I do get in it's server not responding then kicked out.

    I can put up with the bugs and content being added but the game not being available on Sunday is very poor. When a service is catering and selling in Europe it should have a European server or some consideration to the market.

    If the "prime time" ends at 11pm why can't they put the maintenance there then. That way it doesn't affect Europe and the Eastern countries have less of there prime time cut down I don't know what sort of time zone you are roughly but in the UK we are at +8 compared to America so at 11pm we would go at 7am.

    Can yours? I live in Japan and the server maintenance always falls around 7/8pm... My ACTUAL prime time.

    Europeans want it changed but what about me? I pay for the game too.

    Yeah, go ask Asceron why they didn't release the sacred 2 expansion anywhere else but Europe. :rolleyes: And the Americans are acting high and mighty? The Europeans are complaining about 2pm server down times without even thinking that that 2pm downtime might fall in someone elses ACTUAL prime time, aka the Japan/Aussie fans.

    Europeans just keep losing more and more face for me when I read these forums.

    Also, I can find Europe and point out most countries with out hesitance. I bet if I gave the majority of Europeans a Map, they couldn't even tell me where Nagoya is or Nagano, or even Kyushu.

    It's all about California people. Servers are taken down on the schedule of Californians.

    Weekends? You mean having scheduled downtime on weekends is an additional burden on players? Whodathought that?

    It's not like they could SCHEDULE around weekends, the people that work on the Star Trek Offline servers have real jobs, the only time they have available for STO is weekends and holidays.

    Jeez ... why is it whenever anyone outside the US complains about the downtime, [some] folks want to pull this US-blah-blah-blah fecal-matter out of their vocabulary? If this were baesd in any other country TRIBBLE up their/your game-time, you would be complaining exactly the same way without hesitation or regard for anyone else but your own self.

    tedgp123: Are you aware that the servers come down when the least amount of players are on the servers?

    And you know this because ... ??? You have first-hand access to the data regarding how many are on or not on the server at any specific time of the day?

    Please, tedgp, people have every right to complain about whatever they want. People like you trying to supress their rights to complain and write their opinions is just plain iritating as hell.

    I'm from the US myself, so don't think for one moment this is someone outside the US complaining about someone inside the US complaining ... Greensboro, North Carolina ...

    ...

    I work 7am-5pm during weeks. Cryptic brings down the servers from 8-10pm during weeks (My Time) which happens to be 2pm +/- 2 hours GMT. So between getting off work and coming home, I have roughly 1 and a half hours to play, and generally by 10pm when it comes up its too late to get into anything involved.

    And Europeans are crying about not being able to play.

    you lot are totally missing the point.

    everyone who pays for a game that is down when they most expect to play it is entitled to complain. the point is they should have a server in europe and asia/aus and us and they should have their own down time based on their time's . if your selling a service in any area you should have the infistructure to support it.

    Right now as a European player having paid over £500 to Cryptic getting two life time subs I feel like I'm being shafted up the a**. Lets hope the European gaming press mention this in reviews and warn other potential customers of the 2 tier service.

    well we live at europe and of course we will talk what we don't like..and you can post a thread about things you don't like about your time i m sure no one will come and ***** your thread. the point you do not understand is this is a game with a monthly fee. and people who has a job have chance to play the game at weekends and evenings.
    Sacred 2 expansion is being sold or not at europe, i don't know anything about this issue and can2t see what's the relation between this thread. So please go away make your own threads about your anger to other players or nationalities but just don't make this thread to go anywhere else then it's title

    Hm,

    what would players in Japan and Australia say to having scheduled maintenance moved from Sunday to Saturday?

    The bonus for European players would be being able to take care of weekend shopping (yes most stores are closed Sundays in Germany) and to me Saturday eveing downtime does not seem as much of an inconvenience as Sunday downtime.

    Thoughts?
