Stuck on the retrieving list of characters screen again after having to force-shutdown the game after waiting three minutes looking at a "server disconnected" message trying to switch zones.

    I swear, every time there's a patch this same exact thing happens every day in the middle of prime time for a week or more. I don't understand why the servers do this every time there's a patch and why they KEEP doing it after getting "fixed" repeatedly.

    got server not responding while zoning into b'tran and now stuck at retrieving list of characters ugh come on cryptic you need to have better response time and customer service attention to this kind of thing! I mean is all we players ever get in the way of customer service some sort of automated response? I mean i have yet to recieve an actual tell from a gm responding to an in game ticket or in game issue. and when i do report a bug or something that is genuine i get a thank you for your feedback automated respnse when it wasn't even feedback! ugh anyway i'm not gonna go there.

    I frankly can't think of a worse time for this to occur. Friday evenings between 5:00 and 11:00 P.M. is pretty much the ultimate in prime-time. I feel sorry for the folks just getting home from work and expecting to kick back and relax with some STO.

    Edit:
    And on tax day, no less. >_<

    Best thing that could happen to this game is for another MMO company to take it off thier hands and actually fix things, add some content, and a company that actually has Customer Support with GMs that know how to assist players stuck on bugged missions, bugged mail, ect.

    Cryptic you are by far the worst MMO company I have ever had dealings with.

    I thought this game was supposed to be casual friendly. I like the game, but I won't put up with this for much longer.

    Oh captain my captain... He beamed-out and got lost in the pattern-buffer. Please tell me I'll eventually get him back -- and, it's hopefully not going to take all weekend.

    Odd thing was, I was in the game and it didn't actively crash on me... I was attempting to train officers/switch skills, but it wouldn't allow me to put points into skills, or switch them at all.

    Then I zoned out and back in and had same issue... and decided to restart the client, which is when I encountered the "retrieving list of characters" message.
