    1 shard away from 50k dilithium award.
    Pissed with the server crash, but understandable.
    Hope they extend the deadline.

    Brandon,

    I have one character that needed one shard to complete the bonus mission. Last night I couldn't get a connection and the lag was terrible. This morning I plan to log in before the event ends, and the server is down. It'd sure be nice to understand how we won't lose our progress but we can't queue up for the event anywhere. Am I stuck at 13/14 forever?

    the event will re-run

    if some would learn to read this was not a one time it will re-run and for the ones that didn't finish can do so then.

    STo servers are the servers we need, not the ones we deserve.

    I'd be excited for neverwinter except for a few things.

    #1. It uses the shooter mode from STO which you cannot change and if you get zerged by many npcs if you hit attack with your mouse like 6 times or more you most likely will not strike the intended 1st target which is problematic for me.

    #2. Neverwinter is just a copy of STO, in perm shooter mode, totally 150% reused STO assets, they just traded in starfleet uniforms for shiny armor. I wouldn't doubt it if one of the people of never winter told you to report to admiral quinn or j'mpok.

    Edit: I would be impressed though if they tried to make neverwinter feel like I am not going thru the federation leveling progression because anyone who has played STO for a long time can see it.

    LOL, no.

    The guts of the engine are the same. Beyond that, there's a lot happening that's far better implemented than STO. Neverwinter has the benefit of being designed to be what it is from the ground up, and not a half-assed, cobbled together port of a sub game to a F2P model. It's certainly not the most inventive thing out there, but as it stands, it's already lightyears ahead of STO from a systems standpoint. I'd hate to see STO's legacy codebase at this point.

    Way back in the day when PvP broke so hard it was impossible to play, you guys gave us all a free badge and emote. If we've been so good about a failure that caused EVERYONE in THREE games to be unable to play for HOURS cause they are all crammed on one server, it would be really nice if we got something now, like Veteran Boff vouchers for everyone.

    If theres a server called Redshirt, one called Tribble, and one called Holodeck, that implies 3 different servers. That should further imply that all other PWE MMO's are all on their own servers so exactly WTF piece of hardware blew up that caused every game to crash????????? Your router??????? I can not see anything extensively hard to fix, hardware wise, that would cause everything to crash UNLESS your running multiple MMO's on the same server and that is not logical.

    I think it's "trying" to run on the 4.0 ruleset...which is not the best too

    Not true. We had several months warning.

    Still hurt, tho. :(

    So let me get this right, you fellas are too cheap to keep two different games isolated enough that problems on one won't impact the other? Good planning
