Hi Captains,
We will be performing scheduled maintenance on the Cryptic Account system tomorrow, Thursday, June 28th, at 7:00am PDT (click
here to view in your timezone) and expect it to only last 2 hours. During this time, you will not be able to create or manage Cryptic accounts, create or track your in-game tickets, and players will not be able to log into the game; however, players already in the game should not be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thanks for your patience and understanding,
- The Star Trek Online Team

The question about the forum name though, would LOVE to know the answer to that one! Also, when will STO fleets and characters be tied into our profiles?

Hope this helps
Actually the exchange rate from USD>ZEN>CP hasn't been equal in the time that I've been playing. When converting your purchased ZEN, their would be a "conversion fee" I suppose, 2000 ZEN would only amount to 1400 CP or something like that. That's close to 5USD that you're being ripped off. If they're making the exchange rate 100% equal now, well I'll be pissed for not waiting but happy to know that in the future if I do buy ZEN, it'll be at an even rate.
Account server's down for maintenance brah. Another ~1 hr, 20 minutes
I have to disagree with you.
$62.50 = 5,000 CP This equates to $1 = 80 CP
$50 = 5,000 ZEN This equates to $1 = 100 ZEN
The conversion rate from ZEN to CP is 100 ZEN to 80 CP. Therefore it's exactly the same.
One thing I have noted is that if you pay by certain payment methods and you buy 5,000 ZEN, you get an 300 ZEN thrown in. If you do the math, that means you can get $1 for 84.8 CP.
Yes, I know that it's not an earth-shatteringly large amount, but at least you're getting something extra (NEVER complain when you get extra for free), and it beats a kick in the teeth.
No mistakes in that
This is my experience as well. NOW, the only thing we need to make sure of is that the ZEN/CRYPTIC points for items in the store needs to be adjusted down when they convert fully to ZEN. Otherwise we really will have our points worth less.
Sorry but that is kinda bs..
If it were true, i'm on +1 time, which means the server goes offline, or maintenance is done, starting 15:00 my time, yet it starts like an hour later.. :mad:
Cause you not reading properly

So who is in game. Is playing. Who isnt. Need to wait. Simple as that.
Up, not down. Since Zen is worth less than Cryptic points, prices will go up. Not really, but the point value will be adjusted. I'm pretty sure there is a FAQ explaining everything.
daylight saving. gives you plus one hour to GMT. kind of confusing, yes. but the link we get to check our times works
10k DPS Vesta threads: 1; 2
Actually I'm pretty sure GMT and UTC are supposed to be the same. Both ignore DST.
During the summer, Brittan and Ireland move ahead one hour (BST/IST respectively):
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/daylight-saving-time/
It is an American based organisation so they also give PDT.
Thankfully being in Britain we benefit from that (well it is because of us GMT became universal) and so it isn't difficult to convert to BST when applicable.
UTC + An american timezone is fine, otherwise they should give the time for every timezone applicable which isnt feasible on the login box.

Dam, you saw through my ploy. I was hoping it would get through and they would adjust them down at least until they figured it out. :biggrin:
Yes both the STO Login screen and the website http://sto.perfectworld.com/ show green Server Status: UP
The STO Login screen does have a red notice box about a scheduled maintenance:
STO needs to update their Server Status timely and correctly, if you can't login to the server, it is inaccessible and for all practical purposes SERVERS ARE DOWN!
The login screen notice needs to have an active link to forum topic; that they should start.
Come on guys, you really can do a better job!
STO Diplomatic Mission - Keep Clients Informed: CRITICAL FAILURE! (Lost Client Faith in STO)
I think some people need to have their eyes tested, because this is rediculous.
EDIT: I take it back. Managed to get into the client but no further this time.
