I'm never one to B****, but here goes. I'm so tired of the daily down for Shard Maintenance. I play primarily in the AM. I get up. I have a few hours until work. I get a cup of coffee. I let the dog out. Welcome to another two hour shutdown of STO. IT IS RIDICULOUS. I let my subscription go because of it. If you are bringing down the server, ask yourself, "Is it really, REALLY necessary." All it is doing is pushing me to play another Big Franchise F2P game. The kicker is, I'M ENJOYING IT MORE THEN STO.

Servers are normally as rule down during EU/UK peak times
P.S there is no such thing as a big franchise F2P game only ex sub based games that failed.
Breaking news, I know.
News flash, they take it down for a reason.
I am a LTM and love the game
News flash, people don't read or pay attention. They complain about bugs and lag but when the server is brought down to fix those, they still complain. Which is it people?
Instead of replacing the band-aid every morning, it'd be nice if they just fix the gaping wound that makes this daily maintenance necessary.
Guild Wars?
And I think that a pricing model evolution is nothing like failed game. If WoW launched today few would pay 15$ a month for it either.
If the game went F2P and turned it around then the only real conclusion is that the game itself is just fine. Especially since F2P players tend to pay more than a subscriber would over their life in the game.
It is a F2P model.
There is more than one type of F2P model that can be better plotted on a chart than described in absolutes.
Not, it's not, because it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to play without paying something. Even WoW is more F2P than GW2.

uh, sub based games don't go f2p because they fail, they go f2p because f2p makes a hell of a lot more money than sub based games.
The way I see it is that there are three camps (of whiners)...
Those who complain about bugs.
Those who complain about the server being brought down daily.
Those who complain about both and contradict themselves in the process.
I'm almost positive that there will be many, MANY more AM's, in which you'll be able to play with no problem what-so-ever.
That is of course unless you expire this afternoon.

Daily restarts keep errors from cropping up, clears junk data from RAM and makes the game run smoother overall server side... if ya want them to keep the servers up 24/7 youll whine about server errors ect.
Its apart of MMO gaming in general. Deal with it, everyone else that plays during these hours of the day has to.
Well yes, I'm in that fourth camp. The three I was referring to are the camps of whiners.
Cute.
It's a recent development for STO, which has historically only had one maintenance period a week.
And historically has server maintenance more often after a Season launch.
... and which will probably go back to that schedule, when things start to calm down or They feel They have worked out most of the kinks.

You mean they broke something. Right. LoR broke something and they're trying to fix it. I imagine that's the reason for the very slow roll-out of bug fixes (in fact we know that's the case).
No, there are four...
Those who complain about the complainers.
No, it's not complaining. It's called trying to talk sense to people.
This thread has now most definitely run its course, and isn't providing any civilized discussion, so due to this as well as the nature of the original post, I'm closing this thread down.
Thanks,
