Yes the downtime is annoying, but to be expected on a major release date. This has happened even worse on other mmo's I have played so nothing new here.
I'm really glad I am not a dev, I can tell from playing tribble a lot of hard work went into this update, just to be constantly bashed by all these rude posters. Very immature, and sadly most of them are adults but not acting like one, just constant whining about something we all knew would happen like it does in most mmos.
I don't need to go into their 'server room'. It's a business decision, PWI is a profit-hungry company. It's always been about turning a dime with them. They aren't the company to spend 'extra on the customer'.
If you think any gaming company - ESPECIALLY PWI/Cryptic is running state of the art hardware where 'money is no option' you're just being silly.
im just going to facepalm. they arent spending the money on you. they are spending the money on themselves to ensure their product turns more dimes tomorrow. it is called investment. they wont make a whole lot of cash if they are running under 2 nines uptime. This game does meet that standard.
i swear to god every mmo forum troll since the late 90s has thought mmos run on commodore 64s because of latency or any downtime.
i work in the industry. thats all you need to know or I will tell you. i know for a fact you are wrong. I will just leave it at that.

Now one or both of those is pretty sure to cheer you up, but if *somehow* neither does, then do a youtube search for flashmob and watch a few of those. They're pretty cool.
Besides, VERY MANY of you should be spending a LOT more time studying English, probably at the expense of the time you spend playing games.
you're means 'you are'.... "your" does not mean this.
They're means 'they are'... neither "their" nor "there" means this.
It is 'a lot', not "alot", nor "allot".
Punctuation and proper capitalization are your friends; start treating them with more respect.
Numbers are NOT letters. Whoever told you they were was deceiving you.
That should get some of you pointed in the right direction.
In fact, the real solution to the Science career should be that whenever somebody rolls up a Sci character and actually starts to play it, the game should change their theme music to that.
the PG *** pron totaly replaced Legacy of romulus. good call?
Warp speed to the break room captains before the launch party Bagels disappear!
Tribbles ate those three hours ago. Then some klingons got in and cooked the tribbles into kebabs. They used the kebabs to lure some xindi into the break room and currently two big Gorn have one of the xindi on a spit roast.

In my case it's just bad timing. I knew that today would be iffy for server stability, so I waited a while to log in. The start of the emergency maintenance to be exact.
Seeing as this is the only free few hours I'll get this week, not happy.
NOTE: I'm not blaming the Devs for anything, the Beta was really well done. Just irksome on the timing.
How dare they tweak something new that's just been implemented on a large scale? It's preposterous that they didn't see every single possible variable. Shame on them for wanting to fix their product for half an hour instead of feeding us our video games every hour of every day. 0/10 would not play again.

None of those cheered me up. I'm now frightened and disturbed. IDK What those are. WHY? Must unsee. MUST UNSEE!!

So many people just fail to use decent grammar and spelling nowadays, it's such a shame, I mean, granted if someone from the shakespearian age appeared in our time we'd almost be speaking an alien language and I understand that languages evolve but if a day ever comes when "there" and "your" become words meaning both the original and the alternate spellings of those words, I don't think I want to be around for it.

They did warn us about this, fellow Captains all, and we should not be so critical of Cryptic, as this is an entirely NEW experience for them, being Star Trek Online's first expansion pack.

Whilst we're still waiting I just thought of another problem I encountered, when creating my Rommie I entered a first, middle and last name, when I began playing they were not there on my bio and it now says it's gonna cost me 1500ec to change... Is this intentional?

Could you guys try to think of people like me try to update at night or in the middle of the day because some people have school or work to do during the day. It pisses me off when I can't login and have to wait till tom to login because of updates are so huge and on short notice. Please try to update just a little per day to keep updating and patching times down.

You can thank the age of spell check for these issues. It is to the point that spelling and grammar are not taught in schools any longer.

The Character UI window only shows the Name in the top line of the Character Naming window.
Put the full name you want in the top line.

im just going to facepalm. they arent spending the money on you. they are spending the money on themselves to ensure their product turns more dimes tomorrow. it is called investment. they wont make a whole lot of cash if they are running under 2 nines uptime. This game does meet that standard.

Here's a map to show how much they've screwed up the game map.

I knew all this "Adapted" tech was a bad idea. I knew it! And you all thought me mad!
