Anyone else having these rediculous loading times?

It usually takes me anywhere between 3 to 8 seconds to load any given map. But today they have been around 20 to 45 seconds long or longer. Anyone else getting this?

    Ditto, and thats odd considering I have almost never seen it before, even at peak times.

    I'm getting the red "Server not responding" freeze up. It's requireing me to use the task manager to get out of STO and then to log completely back in.

    This is exactly what the game was doing last night before it completely crapped out on me. Seems the maintenance didn't fix the problem. :(

    What a complete Crock of a day its been for this Game.
    Epic Fail Cryptic - Your 5 hour maintenance just didn't fix anything.

    I too am getting the message that it cannot retrieve the character list.

    Oh well, having been playing MMO's for about 10 years now, I am aware of days like this. It happens, not much we can do but to accept it and wait. Compared to many other mmo's I tried, Cryptic is doing a mighty fine job in keeping the servers up.

    So the few downtimes I experience, well, suppose I could always play something else or maybe try something outrageously different: I could read a book :)

    Live long and prosper :)

    Looks like they need a new patch for the patch for the patch for the patch and another patch for the patch it looks like maybe they will get it right someday.

    I'm having the same problem. Think its got something to do with the PVP maps bug?

    I love this game, and appreciate the new content, but I haven't been able to play as much as I would like because for some reason - like many of you - I can't retrieve my characters, and once I do get into the game, the lag is worth mentioning and when zoning, I often go into limbo and have to quit the game.

    Not complaining as much as letting you Devs know my issues in the hopes you can fix them quickly.

    Yup, me too, 5 minutes loading screen freeze, just task managered it out and will wait for a while for all the free play weekend people to go to bed :-)

    Indeed it is bad today. I've tabbed out 5 minutes at a time just switching between maps, and still haven't moved. I've been disconnected three times and have had to wait 10-20 minutes for my character list to pop back up. In fact, I'm waiting for a transition right now, but if I D/C again, I'm done for a while. I've easily wasted 10 times the amount of time transitioning than I have actually played today. They are have problems with certain zones that are bugged and actually taking XP away and demoting people. There probably won't be a dev response to this until they have that locked down.

    yup it's pretty horrible....and server not responding errors and getting stuck at retrieving characters just makes me happier...

    I've had server not responding and then it froze and disconnected me when I went to beam down. Now I have the retrieving character list issue.
