I can't just blame Cryptic for this little rant as it seems symptomatic of many MMO providers....

I know we have to have downtime.

I know we have to have patches.

I know things go wrong.

I Understand that extra time can be needed.

But why oh why can't someone from the team POP on to the forums or the site and give an estimation as to when the servers maybe ready. I would take mebe 30 secs to do that.

Many could then write off their playtime on STO and stop server status camping till such time as it worthwhile checking back.

Anyways /Rantoff ... sorry. Let the flameth commence. :mad:

    If you bothered to check the dev tracker, you'd actually find they have been giving us updates on the oh so cryptically titled "Scheduled Maintenance" thread.

    :eek:

    They do have a point...

    Why say "The servers will be down between 3 and 5" and then wait until 6,7,8 o'clock before saying "Oops, I meant 5pm" or whatever.

    Probably because they don't want to post in the forums "Joe meant to shut down and reboot at 3, but he thought Steve was going to do it. So that entire 2 hr window, nothing got done. So it'll be 2 more hours before we're back up and running. Sorry"
