Would be hilarious, though, wouldn't it? I mean. if they were just lying in their beds. unaware and uncaring. and kept us in outage all night. So professional too.
Or the borg assimilated the servers. That would also explain the missing files. Those have also been assimilated.
There are no missing files.
Seriously. I have a daily backup from May 10th, when I first joined. Those files never existed in my copy. Best guess is they stopped using them some time before May 10.
This is a joke right? They patched today for two things, two very simple easy things one of them being a what you could do or do not do in a social zone.......
Now this............5 hours of this............
Nurse.........call it, 10:13pm July 13th 2013..........its going going gone!
Guys, shut up with all the whining. You need to either leave the game and make your statement by not supporting the company by having any of their products on your computer, or make due with what's here. Yes you've poured countless hours into this. You probably wasted your life doing so. So man up, grow up, and do something proactive other than complaining on a forum rehashing the exact same old TRIBBLE time and time again.
For all you haters getting steamed - just shut up. No body likes your attitude, and your cussing and swearing makes you look like a fool and that's why no one listens. Think before you speak. Think. Before. You. Speak.
So leave if you hate this, and all the garbage associated with their lack of accountability and effort, and responsibility. Otherwise, wait. Make a statement that can actually effect change.
Go take a leap. We are perfectly entitled to vent our frustrations at the total incompetence and failure to provide the game we pay for. If you don't like it. DONT READ IT....

Reading through the forums, we have deduced the following possible reasons why we cannot play:
1) Hardware Failure
2) Software Failure
3) Failed Coding from latest patch
4) Cryptic's inability to pay anybody with a GED $10 to monitor game servers through the weekend; therefore, they don't know it's happening
5) Devs are preparing for the upcoming Roller Derby and took a hiatus from work
6) The Tal Shiar, KDF Intelligence, Section 31, or the Obama Administration have uploaded a virus into the latest patch that is slowly eating our game files.
7) The Borg assimilated the servers into the collective (actually PWE has already done this; can't be the reason).
8) Because Scotty is not a quality control engineer at Cryptic
Yes. 1) They do not need anymore of our money...
2) They have never needed more of our mouthiness
3) They do not need anymore of our money....

That's All Folks!!
Yepper, its running. But it is a tad sluggish, but working.
Looks like this case is at least for the moment... Closed... :cool:
The Galaxy needs you to fight the Iconians and their Heralds in order to protect our interests and freedoms in the Galaxy. Join the fight in the Herald/Iconian War today! :cool:

They might be stuck with faulty hardware. I've seen some pretty poorly designed networking equipment. Usually these are the "cheapest option" kind of device (HINT: You get what you pay for). We had some routers that needed to be reset fairly frequently in order to function stably. Or maybe the hardware they have isn't rated for the number of concurrent users that they have been experiencing?
I know they have had hardware issues recently, and I don't know that they ever resolved them, fully. But you're right, it could be software. I've worked with both sides of the coin and without seeing what they're seeing internally, I wouldn't want to say it's one or the other. It actually doesn't even matter to us what the problem is so long as they develop a long term solution and can effectively implement it.
Yep... I'm an IT Director in real life and run multiple geoclusters.... we haven't had a service outage for over 3 years (yes, we do upgrades, server replacements, etc., but the actual service doesn't go down as we fail over to other nodes.) It baffles me that STO is really Star Trek OFFline as they are down so often.
1. The servers are down.
2. PWE Techs know the servers are down.
3. PWE Techs have found the cause of the problem.
4. PWE Techs keen powers of observation noticed that the
hamster fell off the wheel within 2 hours of the server going down.
5. An additional hour was spent attempting to feed said hamster
before noticing that the hamster was actually dead [Jim].
6. PWE Techs are scrambling to find a new hamster,
but all the pet shops in the neighborhood are currently closed.
7. PWE Techs have not notified PWE's PR arm [AKA Branflakes] of the outage
so he could not give his perfunctory "we are aware of the problem and are
currently working on the problem... Thank you for your cooperation" message.
8. The servers are still down.

We are the Borg. Existence as you know it is over. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

This is huge step into the back yard, but an extremely insignificant step for mankind
