Whenever an MMO get a big expansion things like this happen, and chances are we arent making it any easier on ourselves by clogging up the login servers.
Could things be better right now? Hell yeah but still stuff like this happens and getting mad aint gonna help. This is pretty much some bad weather, so lets just calmly wait it out and do something else for a bit while the devs fix things up

i know this happens but sucks that only got to get through Romulan tutorial
It's entirely possible to release an expansion for a MMO without massive server load issues. PWI and Cryptic have made the conscious decision to not account for massive server load. Instead, we can only assume they are hoping to ride out the problems until less people try to play at the same time.
You bring yourself down to their level when you resort to insulting them.
Look at happen with sto pass seasons they all had problems at first got better in a few days.
I say for one don't feed the trolls just make things worse
Sounds like someone hasn't been in the MMO market long to know that this-day-and-age it's actually possible to release a full expansion or large update WITHOUT 10 hours of downtime, major release bugs, etc.
Go out and explore my friend, educate yourself.
Name one game that has had a flawless expansen launch
He didn't have to bring himself anywhere. He clearly maintains a residence there already.
When Checkers became Chess in 1583.
Yes, I'm sure it'll fix it's self in that respects but they might need to tweak a few things on their end to, taking the server down might be wiser. Check for xtra errors, minor glitches or other unforscene things.
If society or businesses lived by this "oh well, nothing's perfect, let's take what we've got and not try to improve" philosophy, I suspect we'd be pretty far behind by now.
I dont think anyone is asking for a flawless launch, they just want to do what they do in every other MMO expac launch- PLAY.
Now if you ask them how many other games launch PLAYABLE expacs, well hope you got awhile, because the list is quite long.
Yeah, that's right.
from what minor experience I've got in that specialty of work I can say its usually a contest between (A) what the company executives want done. (B) what the network/systems department is asking for to achieve their corporate superiors objectives. (C) what the higher management is willing to provide while striking a balance between being as cheap and profitable as possible. then finally (D) what the shareholders believe they should get out of it.
one thing I know for certain is its an extreme nightmare when your job is revolving around the 24 hours maintenance and repair of multiple 8-10 foot tall racks filled with various routers, switches, server units(sometimes bladed) and other top of the line hardware that can total up to a few million dollars per location. this isn't even going into the customized software environments requiring hundreds of various licenses to be activated.
self educated on basic computer maintenance and repair, studying towards systems security. also assistant to family friend who is in charge of a network spread across the U.S west coast. all in all.. yes I agree people need to get off pwe/cryptic. this repeated scenario of every season having a catastrophic issue is to be expected when you really get into the play between the desires of the company vs what the environment can handle.
