Last year there were multiple outages and emergency down times during the first 2 days, because their server couldn't handle the load. I knew it would be that way again this time and, likely, next year too.
Spend some money for new servers already for **** sake. Always the same ****.
Or hell, you know, there's these sites called rackspace, squarespace too I think.. You Devs should know you can't hope to hold back the flood of foaming at the mouth star trek junkies on the days you release new FE's like 10 new ships, new weapons, events, giveaways.. if you can't afford the logistics of new permanent servers, why not RENT a few for the big days? :mad:
Brandon - thank you for the update. It's appreciated.
askray - thank you for sorting out the spam problem. There is nothing more annoying when checking the forums for information than to find tons and tons of spam. If I wanted to read wikipedia I would have gone to wikipedia. :P;)
On one hand I don't agree with the grinding, in the other hand we need to expect this crash to happen due to the amount of changes. Hopefully we get this situation fixed and I know the devs will do anything necessary to give us an extension if they deem that many players got the shaft specially the European guys.
I think that someone just "tripped" over the wires at the server area and we all could get compensated somehow, I am a dreamer so I say hey Cryptic give us the ship totally and absolutely free as a token of your eternal appreciation for us your customers.
As a LT subscriber, I totally agree. Free ship, free ship, free ship!!!
Its a major reason i just avoid political discussion/racial discussion most of the time. I am not a robot and have my own views. With the new level of hypersensitive indoctrination happening in the last couple of generations I am quickly becoming either the minority or marginalized.
I am proud of those views and have them for my own reasons from my own experiences.
No mainstream media or advocacy group is going to change those, and if they want to label me out as a bad person for it, they can go take a long walk off of a short pier.

This thread has been very educational. If Bran is correct the servers will be up when I'm done watching this episode of TNG. Luckily my sci-fi fix continues uninterrupted, though I did start twitching a bit when I realized the login was down. Keep up the good work I'll wait while they make sure things hold together

Take your time. Take the time to make sure the servers are stable and able to handle the load. We can wait... Well, most of us at least! lol.
Keep up the good work guys!
Don't say that ... It'll go down and they'll need to spend the rest of the time fixing the fix of the fix that the patch put in....
Thanks Brandon, That was one hell of a crash!
Just finished "A Step Between Stars" and got back to ESD when it went down. Hopefully I won't lose anything.
Great mission, excellent new ship. Can't wait to get it. Already completed both Q missions and 440 towards the ship. Until tomorrow....
Now I just need to refine my 8000 Dilithium for today. :P
I wonder if anyone has thought about giving both Worf and Tuvok as bridge officer options?

Servers don't fit anyone's schedule. Unfortunately for everyone who plays STO.
Excellent, the game should be back up by the time I finish patching.
