    Why do silver players need a new server. . . Elitist rubbish again?

    Some people are so funny, I don't know if they are trolling, or simply stupid. Knowing the humanity, I suppose there are not so many troll in the end.

    The difference between Sim City and STO, is that Sim city was indeed bad, but was not expected.

    STO on the other hand, Cryptic were warned of this over the last few months, yet still did nothing to prevent it ;)

    silver needs to have to be at the bottom when launches or when server filled you get bumped not those who pay for the game thankyou

    Gold and lifetime both get equal priority login over silver, but that doesn't bump silver already logged in off the server though. As a gold member I can accept that as it would TRIBBLE a lot of people off to be kicked after waiting to get in, and those people are also needed to keep the game funded and populated.

    It would be kind of hard to be around here for a length of time and not notice that a disturbing majority of the biggest morons on this forum are lifetime subscribers.

    Some of them are fine, fine people of course. But damn sure not all.

    Maybe because they fell for this game and paid for it... and now want a product that they paid for? While you, much wiser than them and me (since i am a lifer), has not paid for it as much and thus have less expectations than lifers?

    I was a long time Sim City player, I remember playing it on my Super Nintendo and my 486 PC as a kid, having so much fun building cities then destroying them with disasters lol.
    I continued playing the later PC versions, but this recent one I never even considered playing, the idea of requiring internet to play and save is just riddiculous and insulting. I don't want to get expensive mobile internet connection so I can play on my laptop when I travel.

    Guess having non-mmo to play when we are away from the internet is a thing of the past unfortunatley.

    Please, people need to stop being drama queens. Seriously. Always happens, why people expect otherwise is beyond me. Unless STO has these issues for a week or longer it will be no where near as bad as Sim City. Chill the hell out and wait, they'll get the game together.

    They expect otherwise because Cryptic should know better. There are plenty of examples they could have learned from in MMO launch history and the player base has repeatedly said on these forums that they should fix their server issues for this release.

    I am a little tired of the attitude I see from lifetimers on this forum all the time too. All you guys are paying for is a gold subscription up front instead of monthly and get a few small perks on top of that like borg and immediate vet rewards, it does not make you entiled to anything else over gold. Yet so many think I am lifetimer I should get Legacy pack free, I should get loging priority over gold, I should be able to bump people off servers. Its really getting annoying, and why I tend to target vet ships more then others when I see them.

    We're not drama queens. We're people with standards and more then two marbles rolling around in our head. And talking in the 3rd person it seems. Either way, a dog could have figured out that lots of people would be trying to patch and play today. Imagine if Crytpic actually thought of this and went and got additional servers to handle the increased load. Things would go smoothly and Crytpic would get a lot of good press for once for having a smooth launch.

    Yes I know servers are expensive but once the numbers died down they could unplug the extra servers and put them in storage for the next season launch. Am I just making too much sense? Am I really expecting too much that this simple step?

    As it is. This is the worst launch STO has had. Not even original launch was this bad.

    You fail to see my meaning. My point being that, yes, you would all be logged in. Would you have your free romulan? No. Would you have a server with enough people to do PvE actions at a rapid rate? Maybe. It's not the silver players fault that you can't log in. It's really Cryptic's fault for not realizing that there was inevitably going to be an issue with the launch. There always is.

    oh but it is the issue,
    as for the content I give it an outstanding A+ I give the tech team the big FAT F
    they had this same debacle when starbases launched they should have the data from then so why no response from DStahl or the CTO at this point I think we are owed an explination
    i think they should extend the key sale

    um in sim city you couldn't even play legit for 4 days straight. AT ALL

    for LoR you can play just with lots of lag. takes about 50 seconds to equip anything in game. i made it to level 15 before the lag started to get the better of me and now here i am on the forums.

    there was also 200+ instances going on at once in any location i was at. which is friggin insane..

    The worst launch of all time had to be Diablo III.

    Waiting several years, incredible hype and pomp then the servers went down before the launch even happened.

    Honest to god I got in and played until level 9 and had no problems i left for 20 minutes and came back to this... I could not play sim city for almost a week. Not fair to compare this to that.

    Title says it all.

    You obviously didn't play SimCity 3 at all during the first few days... I mean weeks...

    Let me get this straight. You blame the silver player base because you can't log on to STO. The same STO that has had these log in issues before? The same issues that have all been, with the exception of the Tribble open beta, the servers lack of processing ability? The processing ability that spans three separate games, each with their own player base?

    Did I get it all there or have I missed something?

    While D3 was bad... the launch was as bad as SimCity. By thursday, I leveled a character to 25, and had an alt at 15. Give or take a few levels. So, it was not that that that bad.

    Your post wreaks with elitism and self entitlement. Heaven forbid you actually have to wait to play like the rest of us. Get off your high horse.
