Good grief. Is everyone complaining about waiting for 1 hour 45 minutes? The devs are making sure the game is running well so that they don't have a freaking BOATLOAD of complaints about "IT'S BROKEN!!!1!1!!1 FIX IT NOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'd rather have it down an extra hour and have the game work with virtually no bugs, than the game be done an hour earlier and have it overrun with problems.

That may quickly satisfy your brain, but not your soul.
As you get older you'll realize that it's not so much the act, but the connection that matters most.
I agree. But my "connection" spend half the year on the other side of the planet... and despite my heart being lonely, my more lustful organs still have a full range of desire.
I am old enough to know what you speak of... I am over a quarter century in age.

miserable miserable service. i've had the game for 3 days now and have been unable to use it for two of those because of constant errors and server down time. can't believe people pay for a game that does this so often. it's not even possible to get to the end of a thread because of the sheer number of posts about the game being down.
Didn't have enough exploration and discovery for me. The station was well... stationary! That pretty much killed the show for me. That and the fact that it was more soap opera like than some of the other Star Trek shows I've watched.
ya that was my issues with DS9 as well... I often wonder if ill appreciate it more now that I am a bit older then I was when it aired.

Not sharing a bunk with the Shatner! There's a reason they call him the "Shat"ner you know!

We are still on track to be finished at noon PST. We're going to do one more test in just a few minutes, though, that should not affect our ETA. I'll make a post in here when we'd like you to try the launcher again. Thanks for your patience and understanding -- the data we and our routing vendor are getting has been crucial, so thank you again for all of the help with testing

when can I expect a pay check for services rendered?
We do not got a problem with an hour or two of extra downtime. But we DID have a problem on it while we are waiting on third anniversary and the Ambassador-Class.
Got the patch, but still wont load the characters. Not as big a deal for me as the gf is sick and not barking at me playing today, but can we speed it up a bit?

Hey Brandon - didn't get a chance to post my last results, but the nameservers routed me through France (from Western Michigan). I was able to download and patch, though.

I am seriously confused here. I have worked for a third party vendor, worked with a third party vendor and can appreciate the need for working with each other a lot. I imagine the phone call was made by the vendor that (guessing) "hey, we would like to know the tracing for the launcher." And the person on the phone was like: "sure, next thing we'll do this." But, you picked the day of a much hyped event.
So you didn't take the time to do it Monday, fine, they may have asked after Monday. You didn't spawn a random test bright and early Tuesday or Wednesday; better yet Friday. The choice was today (Thursday, January 31st).
Europe is off work, eating and doing things Americans (Canada, Brazil, US, ect.) aren't. Some are night shift, some are college students, and others on "vacation." So on the opening day of the Anniversary celebration is perhaps, not the best day to set this.
I'm not particularly angry about this, but I can see where some of the fan-base may be really angry. After-all, how necessary was the testing? This is unquantifiable for the fans. Please Cryptic, for your sake, try to think about these things as not to alienate your subscribers.
Could not have said it better myself. I completely agree.

Devs: I had to shut down the server for maintenance
Riker: Why?
Devs: We had Launcher patch containment Nothing to worry about
Riker: We are on the verge of the 3rd Year Anniversary with no Servers and your not concerned?
Devs: We will have the Servers back online in no time.
Riker: Like you Tracked down that faulty Patch processing accelerator.
Devs: We are running a LV 1 diagnostic
Riker: For 3 Hours It would not take you more than 1. You are incapable of that level of incompetence
