I have been watching the STO server status webpage for some time now. They do keep pulling servers up, but as they bring one up another drops out again.
Y'know... before you start bashing away at people's lack of intelligence, you may wish to proofread your post to remove any errors present.
Case in point, you want them to HIRE, more intelligent staff, correct?
Just sayin'

attacking a kid or young adult whom is peeved , frustrated and upset WHOM IN THAT SITUATION WOULD never make a grammar or spelling mistake....and its often the sign of LACK of intelligence when instead of rebutting or debating WHAT he said you attack him ....why? YOU CAN'T COME UP WITH ANY FLAW IN HIS LOGIC.
I have been fanatically defending Cryptic because I know how difficult it can be to repair a server after a hardware failure. That is until today, this is where you fill in the straw that broke the camel's back or other various appropriate analogies.
Normally I'm not on to jump on the compensation bandwagon, but at this point the sheer amount of server crashes are going to be dangerous for Cryptic. They've improved the game by leaps and bounds with the LOR expansion, but if people loose confidence in Cryptic because of unstable servers, everything they achieved with the expansion will mean nothing.
Yes this is a F2P game, but don't mistake that for meaning the game is anywhere close to free. This isn't a game where you spend 20 dollars and get a whole list of items for that 20 dollars. It wouldn't be at all surprising if there were people that have spent over 500 dollars on this game. I know I've spent over 200 on various things here and there, and not only because I wanted cool stuff, but because I know the potential of the game and wanted to help make that happen. With all of the current server problems do I regret this?...no not yet.
However at this point and if this continues, that may change and not just for myself but for many others as well. A gesture of good will on Cryptic's part or just plain out Damage control if you'd rather would be far more beneficial to regaining/solidifying customer confidence and would outweigh any cost or temporary imbalance in in-game economics.
That would imply that craptic cares....they never did...you think they care now? They already got your money!
i'm not a tech, but i'm pretty sure they have many servers and all games are on separate ones... the trouble happens when the 'server farm' has power surges and the like. when they said the games are on separate servers, they were telling the truth... so those of u who say u have a 'basic' understanding... well that's not enuff... lol i just want my star crack!!! hurrryyyyy!!!!
Don't know why it says i'm an ARC user. i will never use that TRIBBLE Cryptic!
The only problem is that criptis isn't spending $$$ for make the right update.
2 games on a server= means server crash.
And with the story of " free money (false) Server" they kick ur balls. They get more money than with a subscription.
So we suck and the owner of criptic are laughing.
Out of interest, are there any lawyers, or Solicitors or whatever on here?
If so, then answer me this, I pay a gold membership of ?10 a month for a service, I expect this service to have maintenance occasionally, but that's it.
Now where do I stand in law for compensation, when this service is taken down outside of maintenance (emergencies excluded) due to issues of servers, hardware etc.
Or Is the fact that the company has gone free to play, that I get no compensation, even though I have a contract?
Ps, I know there are Life members on here too, so they too would be open to get compensation as well.
These are the voyages of the Starship Cryptic Servers , its 5 year mission to disconnect new life forms and new civilizations to boldly disconnect where no server has disconnected before.

Why stop playing on mass? every other day PWE/Cryptic services crash anyway how would they even know?
This, this a thousand times.

This is getting better and better.:)
Return it immediatly to its rightfull owner.
Everyone and their cat is trying to get on tribble to preview LoR.
And, of course they are.
LoR is probably the most hotly anticipated new thing in STO since launch.
A week or so back, Cryptic also launch NW and, inexplicably, set it up so it shares a portion of the network hardware.
That game too is hotly anticipated and attracts a huge number of players.
Since then, connection stability has been patchy at best.
I can accept a vague comment from BF when its just one time. Why go into details just for a freak thing?
But this is becoming a regular occurance.
Branflakes, please approach d'Stahl and ask him to allow you to post an actual reason for the recent instabilities.
And, more importantly, what you are actually doing to address the problem.
Because, as things stand, Cryptic is rapidly losing a lot of respect.
I thought, after the Valentines Days Massacre patch, that lessons had been learned.
Full disclosure is better than obviously evasive answers. Full disclosure, followed by actual action.
Please learn from your mistakes.
Good times, eh?
Sup?
Your server issues and constant disconnects inspire great confidence in me to devote vast amounts of time and money.
Keep up the great work.
"Server Not Responding (Team is investigating)"?
That would imply that craptic cares....they never did...you think they care now? They already got your money!
I'm sorry, but I think of this:

Have you looked behind the server ?
