Hey I know the servers are having issues at the moment and ye are sorting them out. Everytime today I try to log in it comes up unable to authenticate. This has happend before and it fixes itself eventually so im not worried. But is there anything I can do to get it to authenticate???lol Anyone else having this problem today?
<+Cryptic_isomorphism> it will be about 15 minutes of downtime on the account server, during which ogging in and crypticpoints stores won't work.
<Cryptic_isomorphism> just an internal communication glitch that we didn't send out the proper notices on the forums etc, sorry about that
Well, i haven't actually tried to login yet, just saw the login server going from "not responding" to "responding". It's possible they are still tinkering on it after a reboot.
I imagine the constant pounding of people trying to log in isn't helping the server much either. Probably similar to a DDoS or something if there are enough players!
How many players are there anyways? I've seen a few people in-game a few times now.
6:30 AM - Server status says up & functional, but its B.S. rofl. Its a dead duck atm. Server may be listed as up, but without the authentication working it may as well be down.

Well, the people who were logged in are still playing fine. I imagine the stress on the servers is much worse after a patch or something. And it usualy manages to handle that just fine
As for the player numbers, no-one really knows. Cryptic once said "We'v reached our goal of 100k players" But thats the only official statement they have made, so there could be as many as a million.
Someone in IRC Chat just said he could login, so I'd say give it another try

Not bad. One more question to hammer you with... and I know, I should probably ask the devs. I play on the EU server. Would I see those on the US server as well?
I should see about getting Cryptic to contract my company for some Asian-based servers for us expatriates and Aussies on this side of the Sol System.

There is only ONE STO server for the entire world, so yes, anyone logging in from america you will see in the EU. If you add them to your friends list you will automaticly zone (most of the time) to their zone as well
Sorry about that all there was some Account maintenance this morning. Any time there is maintenance scheduled it will always be on the main site for STO.

Great news
Nothing to see here. Move along now.
let's pray it doesn't re-overload the server.
In any case: It's up and running again, so you should be able to login again
I should think so.
Must be regional for logins working again. The news hasn't hit the Asian comm lines yet.
Same here! :cool:
Or the East Coast of the US.
Guess we'll just have to wait a bit more then...

'tis a shame, I've been away for a couple of months, and was getting back into the swing of things!
Hopefully I'll be back in soon ^^
