Not my point. I wasn't addressing the complaining, I was addressing the "You don't HAVE to pay" response to the complaints. If NO one pays, no one PLAYS. Do you disagree?
Why is it that every scheduled/unscheduled/emergency maintenance occurs
during either a fleet marks event, or a dilithium mining event?
Could it be that they either schedule these things deliberately to coincide,
or that the extra network load during these events causes the "emergency"?
Actually, it's the Mk XII fleet servers that are stable, but as we're all here posting instead of grinding Cryptic rep, the server room isn't up to tier 5 yet. :cool:
I thought it was the EPS conduit that was only a blue mkIV?

I doubt there are all that many people out there that are FTP that NEVER buy anything from the C-store.

wow more down time so soon. emergency sounds critical, is the game about to die? then why schedule prime-time day-time down time. it becomes a joke the more frequent this garbage becomes:eek:
Looks like all of their games are down. I just tried to get into Neverwinter. Likely more of a server problem then the STO teams fault. Give them some slack!
I can't believe this! Technology never goes wrong in the Star Trek universe!!
I think we need Chief O'Brien to fix the servers.

I don't know. Posts are slowing down. I'm actually considering getting up out of this chair.
You scared me there for a second.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I dont mind that servers are going down for mantainance, its all for a good porpous :rolleyes: .When this happends I just play other PW games .Everything is down and thats a pity, after a long time beeing away from STO I was exited to kill a few Borgs... I hope new frontiers will be broken in the game development of this game.

Now, this is a story all about how
My server got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the victim of Neverwinter despair
In west California hosted and praised
On STO was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some klinks bein' a fool
When a couple of Elves who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my server got scared
Its said 'You're movin' with your - Unable to connect to patch server...

Bran...this is not good. As I discussed the communications person on FB (since the initial crashes were only being posted there) LoR is a tremendous undertaking. I, along with hordes of other real 1000+ day players and lifetime members such as myself are attempting to balance support with frustration and fear. With LoR coming, the issues going on are creating an image of complete instability. I know personal friends in game and IRL that are planning on returning to STO in 12 days for launch...I anticipate a lot of player returning to check out the new u/i, re-finished Drozana station, and of course the Romulan stuff...but it's been nearly daily now...combined we're talking at least 1.5 days of down time. The devs propagate fixes and then it all crashes or we have these emergency issues. It's player like us who try and keep things positive, remain supportive, and try and minimize the exodus of players that has been going on. Published or not, we all know the numbers are down...but even our patience gets worn thin. This makes it really difficult for us to stay positive and talk to players about why they should remain and not go back to WoW. I don't want what happened to CoH/CoV to happen here. None of us vested/invested players want that. So while you try and manage things, perhaps the week leading up to LoR's launch, you
Should announce an extended down time of 48 hours. Take everything down and make it right, actually fix the problems going on, be the GOTY that you are supposed to be, the GOTY you won for a reason. Players understand server problems but what's happened really had been quite ridiculous and unacceptable. There is still buzz all over the Internet and CNET about EA's disaster with Sim City's reboot, with even the games creator speaking out against EA and Maxis. This is not the sort of publicity STO/Cryptic/PW needs. You only get to launch something once...if you guys TRIBBLE this up, we all suffer. Please try and remember that people talk TRIBBLE because their frustrated, but these same people completely count on you guys and your ability to be stable...this is a great game, IMO, the best MMO created, and I don't want to lose something I am so personally invested in...a lot of hours have gone into gear and sets...prior to the F2P and Rep systems...please, just don't TRIBBLE this launch up...we are all counting on this to bring the numbers back, to get large fleet and more tier 5 fleets and reduced load times for STF's because players are back and running events. Please do whatever it is you need to do to get this right.

Branflakes is plugging all the isolinear chips back in sshhh he needs to concentrate :rolleyes:
I wonder if they are ever gonna say what is the actual cause for all these downtime issues, i know they don't have to but it would be nice to know . Maybe they are adding in an extra severlogin server to help with the apparent bottleneck?

Yes. I do.

Just saying ;-)

Don't do that, you'll miss out on the Gorn jokes.
Hell, I scared myself!
You're too late.
He's already Gorn.
I'm not entirely convinced that the Gorn jokes are gorna happen.
