question for the devs

The xmpp server has major issues. Specifically when I'm using meebo from my droid I constantly get dced. At the time of this post the server is offline, and I can't connect. As a leader of a fleet it is imperative that I be able to remain in contact with friends and officers in my fleet as I cannot be in game 24/7. I remember reading a post from StormShade saying that the server was still basically in beta. If this is the case, what kind of eta can we expect for the bugs to get worked out?

    What possible kind of STO emergency could there be that makes it imperative to stay in contact with people?
    I fully understand WANTingto be in contact, not NEEDing to be.
    And heh I use my droid to follow the forums all the time too. I have to try the browser on my kindle next.:D

    The XMPP service is still in beta. That's why you have to login test server first to be able to access it. You best bet for any feedback for it would be in the xmpp thread on the test server forums.

    I didn't mean imperative as in it was an emergency that i'd have to be in constant contact with the fleet. All I was saying is that if/when we get new members in the fleet who are new to the game and have questions, and there wouldn't be any officers online to help them. In that case, it's a convience to have jabber and be available to field questions. Also, having access to xmpp allows me to just chat w/o having to turn on my computer and log into the game.

    While XMPP access to chat in-game is available to with an active sub who has signed up for the Tribble Test Server, it is still in beta.

    As such it's prone to outages occasionally.We don't usually mention when this system comes down as the number of people utilizing it is generally a very small amount of people, and if it does crash, it tends to come back up on its own.

    We're aware it's been having a rough time lately and are looking into what's causing that.

    Thanks,

    Stormshade

    So the chat is only for chat on the test server?

    The chat on Tribble and Holodeck are "connected". The private channels will work on both. That is why if anyone on your friends list is playing on Tribble, you will see them as online and their location is "Star Trak Online". So if you log into the chat system, you can PM anyone on either Holodeck or Tribble, and you can sign in to your channels as well.

    Stormshade you are the best community rep a guy could have. Don't you ever leave Cryptic for anything.
