    I just want an admission that they KNEW the lag this week was caused by the stress of their new game.

    Straight Up! They told me it was my computer ! ( which I guess is the standard answer from them now)

    They wont tell you because they know youre just looking for ammo to fire back at them again with "well then fix X"

    LOL nice except NW is down too lol

    Yes sir, yes sir, it does. Missed out on 200k dilithium. But it's my own fault, I thought the event would go through the end of the day. Didn't read the whole message. Reading is fundamental!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

    why does ****ty never winter have an effect on this game?????

    Even if they are on their own server, they would still be on the same network. if a switch went bad, traffic is getting no where. Imagine entering a 5 way intersection and all the stop lights are red.

    It's probably running on the same server blade cluster....just my guess....or maybe using the same ISP and not enough bandwidth.....but with what Bran said about hardware dying...i presume the former

    I knew it was BS. My fleet has ppl from South America, UK, Australia and US. Each had abnormal lag. What are the odds of the same thing effected 4 continents NOT being centralized? :rolleyes:

    At least Emergency Power to BS wasn't nerfed in the recent patches...

    The other thread went to 162 pages. I wonder how many this one will have...

    P.S. A token amount of free Zen would be a nice gesture. The longer the outage, the bigger the token, yeah? :)

    agreed 1000 z or so would be nice

    Look on the bright side folks, when LoR debuts we'll all get to crash Neverwinter!

    Unless we kill Cryptic's hamster again.

    Just a thought. Whenever World of Tanks takes down their servers even for maintenance they give gold members 1 more day worth of gold service. Maybe a days worth of dil for STO. Maybe?

    The hardware failure was obviously on your end.

    That would be 0 * 10%

    0+10%(of 0) is still 0

    So you're both right, yes?

    Hardware failure, so does that mean the hamster actually did die? Will we have a memorial service? Where do we send flowers? *Weeping*

    Clearly all Cryptics games share at least some hardware.

    The last few days, following the launch of the NWN beta, we have been experiencing varying degress of problems in STO, culminating in todays catastrophic collapse.

    Now, I'm not tech wizard, but even I could predict that there'd be a huge surge in players when NWN launched and it doesn't take a techie to know that such a thing would stress out the hardware.

    So, i have some questions which I'd respectfully like Branflakes to ask of the technical team and post their replies here.

    Will there be dedicated hardware in place for the launch of both LoR and NWN when it goes fully live?

    Do cryptic accept that, without hardware dedicated to specific games, the sort of problem we've experienced today is inevitable if games are succesful and attract players?

    Does cryptic recognise that the launch of LoR is likely to attract a huge number of people on launch day, making the numbers that tried to log in the day the anniversary event went live pale into insignificence?

    Are they planning to radically expand server hardware capability, or are they hoping to sort it out with a software band-aid? Or, worse, are they just counting on our desire to play the new expansion to make us overlook the technical neglect?
    if you was a girl i'd marry you right NOW!! words of wisdom every single word on this...maybe they shood hang out with Bethesda and see how Mega Servers work ehh!!

    Sure there is, but if they hit it the world suddenly goes back to 2010.
