    It's 6 hours, or about 12 cents of your monthly subscription. I guess they could refund you that 12 cents if you really want.

    LoL, ya. haha!
    And to keep in the spirit of most return policies, while they are refunding him.. they should charge shipping and handling plus insurence costs for mailing the 12 cents to him..
    In other words, you owe them $3.12

    I guess Qakhomatze (Fed) and Klegg son of Kveps (KDF) has to give way for ArmusQ on Conter-Strike: Global Offensive, then. You know..., Star Trek Online isn't the only game in town...

    And now they are saying it's going to be ANOTHER 2 hours. We just went from 4 to 6 hours of downtime. I don't know about most of you but, I pay for my account. Are we going to see some kind of compensation for this? I get it that sometime things need to be done but taking the game offline for 6 hours without some kind of compensation is unacceptable.

    Unless PWE/Cryptic has somehow managed to seriously mess up your life in some way they OWE YOU NOTHING I had a week of downtime recently due to a broken undersea cable it happens its not that long a wait and its only a game.

    the thing is, cryptic doesn't have network engineers, they have those engineers that drive choo choo trains to do all their work for them, which kinda explains a lot.

    Hi Captains,

    I'm updating the OP to refelct our new ETA of 1PM PDT (2 hours later than originally thought). We are performing a pretty significant network maintenance and update today so this also affects our other Cryptic games. The goal of the maintenance is to reduce latency and connection issues. Please also note that this maintenance could cause connection to the site and launcher to be intermittent.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding. We'll get you back in-game ASAP.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Thanks for keeping us appraised of the progress.
    Fingers crossed for no further issues and delays in completing the Maintenance.
    Good luck in getting the latency and Launcher resolved.
    Fleet Admiral Cassity

    Thanks for keeping us updated Branflakes.

    Any chance we can get a tweet when everything is back up and running, I'm getting myself confused with the constant time zone calculations. Plus I can then step away from the computer instead of constantly checking the forum for updates.

    Another 2 hours? Well it's nice to know that the connection issues are finally being addressed...after 2-3 weeks of complete silence about it.

    Captains, please read my post above :) Our Engineers are doing very important work today and that requires this downtime. We apologize for the inconvenience and we want to get you back in-game ASAP.

    Also, as I found out while I was writing this, it looks like our Engineers are going to need a bit more time. New ETA is 2PM PDT. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    So another 3 hours & 30 minutes to go based on that as its only 10:30 AM PDT right now. Well, I'd rather them take the time and get things all straightened up, I can do other things in the mean time.

    Still a lot quicker than SE when they use to have maintenance on FFXI!

    Success!! I knew if I came up with a compelling enough argument that I could bring out the trolls!! Turns out, it was much easier than I first thought.

    So if game is down till 2pm PDT(Pacific Daylight Time) USA & Canada. Then game will be bk up in the UK at 9pm 2nite. Where the heck do these idiots get 23:00 from. LOL

    Hope this helps my Fellow UK players.

    In the future, you guys might want to think about putting up some kind of re-direct or announcement when you are taking everything off-line. For me at least, everything, even the STO website is gone, and there are no maintenance announcements or anything.
    It's quite jarring to just find the servers completely gone with no explanation until I came here.
    Every Thursday morning at 7AM PST. Banner announcement right on the updater. Seriously! Are you kidding?

    i would like to see them give us an option of wearing a kilt. I'm getting my clan color tartan for my weeding this summer and would like to show some pride in my toon. It could fit in the formal pack or the Star Trek TOS costume pack. After all Scotty wore one in formal occasions. Just a thought

    Nope, the current time over the pond at Cryptic HQ is 09:30 according to the clock at the bottom of the forums. Also timeanddate.com converts it to 22:00 GMT/CET or 23:00 GMT/CET +1...

    So basically your saying that you put a comment up to bring out troll. by that logic then you admit that you were trolling for trolls. I guess that makes you the troll king?:D
