    "This downtime will allow us to prepare for tomorrow's "scheduled" maintenance downtime to prepare for the downtime on Sunday, which will be to further increase server stability..."

    With so much being put into "server stability" the thing should be ROCK solid by now, shouldn't it?

    This is incredible.

    On the upside, there's now plenty of time to go and purchase a Legacy Pack as Cryptic repeatedly asks you to do in the face of all of this downtime. :rolleyes:

    Im not buying anything till i can actually play the game. the maintenance hits every day at the only time i can play as in 8pm onwards for me :D

    some of the bugs have been around since pre-beta/beta and they haven't been fixed so we shall see what happens over the next few months.

    I am really tired of you ****ing whiners, why don't you get off you TRIBBLE and apply to do the fixes then you lazy ingrates oh but wait that would mean yo have to WORK, all you people yelling this sucks fix this **** and so on, do any of you have a clue of how things really work any clue of HOW MUCH CODE needs debugging that take time so shut the hell up and think maybe it could be YOUR computer that sucks **** and YOUR internet connection that causes lag. IN closing to use the words of William Shatner "GET A ****ING LIFE!" it is the same group of TRIBBLE whining about the same thing but i fear i am wasting my breath cause trolls will be trolls.

    And to the people fixing this issues to witch i have not really seen cause i have a good computer and some of the best connection speeds in the world keep up the good work
    I think you trekkies whine way to much, peace and chillax, its a FTP game, What did you expect?

    It can be played f2p but it is also still a subscription service, as such those that pay have a right, to demand service or their money back.

    "Command we have problems...."

    "We are aware of the problems, we will advise..."

    "Advise??? Command, mail is not functioning, PVE events not functioning, there are crashes, we have tray issues, we still have the same bugs from before the new content... command what do you mean you will advise?..."

    "We are aware of the problems, we will advise..."

    "Command, please clarify..."

    "Command?"

    This is incredible.

    Rock Solid does not mean 'invulernable to wear and tear' and if you think about how many players you see in any sector at any given moment or at any one location at any given time...than one can assume we put a quite a load on even the best server architecture.

    That said, this seems like they found something that was wrong in their work yesterday or something gave out and they need to replace it.

    If Branflakes could provide us all a little more info on why they need a 90 minute maintenance after yesterdays...I think that would silence a fair portion of the whiners.

    It's funny. All this maintenance is literally causing people to lose their minds, either berating Cryptic for the short daily downtime or defending them for trying to fix things. :P

    i dont wade into that TRIBBLE, it really doesnt matter one way or the other and people should just let it be. besides, there is a bug fix patch coming, and one of these features could be a more permanent server stability fix.

    I give up..dailiy downtime and usually falls in the times I am actually able to play...all Cryptic games are this way..Neverwinter is a nightmare right now..they take those servers down sometimes 2xs a day..you would think by now they would have a better plan of attack but basicly they are just spinning tires..me I will be back to the Cryptic games when they actually work again..they better hurry tho Rift Goes F2P june 12 and Elder scrolls is on the horizon..lots of completion on its way...

    Anyone else having the problem that changing scenario, i mean, in sector space entering a system, or sytem to planet, or vice-versa, while loading when reach 36% happens the red "server not responding" and then goes to the login? like 70% the times i pass through that loading part

    11 days of maintenance, 11 days since LOR release... to me, LOR stands for long on repair. Shoddy, simply shoddy Cryptic, plain & simple.

    Hi Captains,

    We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Friday, May 31st, at 7AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance. We expect this maintenance to only last for 1.5 hours. The test server may also be unavailable during this time.

    There are no patch notes for this maintenance other than "Server stability updates."

    Thanks for your patience and understanding,

    - The Star Trek Online Team

    And lemme guess, theres going to be the same 132 MB patch afterwards, none of the bugs will be fixed, none of rampant glitches and errors and TRIBBLE-ups dealt with, and... the servers will not be any more stable than they were before.

    I think this downtime is just a force-log so that when the servers come back up there will be less people playing and it will *appear* like they did something.

    Don't sh*t on BranFlakes for all these troubles. He's just the messenger. I think the problem is with PerfectWorld not prepared to invest more money into this game. It's all about greed. The guys at Cryptic probably don't have enough resources to make everything work smoothly and would probably love getting some cash to invest in better hardware too. They have to work their a** off because of lack of resources.

    I love this game and hope it won't go to waste because of customers losing patience and quitting. Never before have I actually paid real money on any other online game except this one. I still hope to be playing here in 10 years time. So please give us some funds here PerfectWorld so that Cryptic actually has something to work with and give us decent service before it is too late! You make good money from this game so give something back!

    this is rediculous. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE award goes to not so Perfect World. I WANT CRYPTIC BACK. These guys never say what they are doing, the server has been down multiple times daily, there is crazy huge lag spikes and still cannot log in sometimes. And with all of this they are not even working on known bugs. Thank god this is free now because I would have quit (again). It's bad enough when these guys took over that many accounts were lost (including my main) and not so much as a reply as to what happened to it to begin with. All I get from them is a pre-scripted message saying to reset my damn password. THE PASSWORD IS FINE IT'S THE ACCOUNT ITSELF THAT IS NO LONGER THERE! Now I have a "new" account and all the premium items I once had like the digital deluxe special items and the c-store stuff I had bought are all gone.

    if i started having a go at pwe it will only make troubles worse, i used to do it all the time and picked up infractions all the time. the only one who can do something between the community and the taskmasters is branflakes. who else can we complain to if there is a problem? telling PWE directly wont help.

    Assuming they were wont to reinvest so much as a penny of that on improving their product and service.

    I found a work around for deleting the mail, though it does require having either champions online or beta testing neverwinter, just go to one of those two games and delete your mail (but obviously you want to be able to delete stuff that comes with items and such, but still better then nothing right?)
