    So it doesn't count if they make in-game purchases for ANYthing???? Or do you have a class system set up for players depending on what they pay into the game and at what level can they post in the forum? Just curious. How can you spit something like that out without even knowing the stats/ratio of F2P to those who subscribe and anyone elses playing whose stats help shape the game?

    Good way to isolate fellow players.


    I agree. This argument of "LTS and subbers keep the game going and F2P are all nasty moochers" is getting old. LTS pay a one-time-fee. That's it. I'm F2P and I've spent more on that game through zen purchases than that one-time-fee.

    Two years of subbing would be = 360 dollars. I have spent double that in a year just on Zen. So don't think your (the original poster, not the person I am quoting!) argument is, in any way shape or form, valid. If anything that shows a F2Per has supported the game more than someone who has been paying a sub since the game came out. I was here back in beta, btw.

    That guy has no idea what he is talking about, I buy a 20 dollar PWE card pretty much every time I get groceries. (ive stopped recently in protest of the graphics bug, see bug forum), but ive probably done that over 50 times since I started.

    Not to mention I did sub a couple months for leveling. It adds up, 2000 dollars so far over time? (im relatively well off IRL, its not a huge chunk of money for me personally, but numbers are numbers)

    Yeah his "sub" doesnt impress me. I paid his sub eight times over last September alone.

    It's not that simple dude. Unless you can explain to me how YOU would build a server structure that could take this kind of stress. I'll be lurking, so feel free.

    Here's hoping the downtime is resolved soon.

    It's called multiple VPS's. We can rent some out to PW/C if they need.

    Heh. It was mostly during my deployment last year, I was still single then and didn't have a kid to worry about. Along with having one HELL of an income boost because of 'combat duty pay' and whatnot with nothing to really spend it on while still making sure I had plenty saved for when I got home and such... lol Yeah. And I admit, I'm Silver Account as well, that's all ZEN purchases.

    Well, let me thank you also for your service. Glad you're home safe. :)

    Love getting home from work to see STO crashed. 3hrs and counting.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    I pay a subscription, so your point is invalid and if you're F2P you shouldn't even be allowed in the forum since you have no vested interest in the game. Don't mean to sound harsh, but that's just the way it is.

    no his point is valid, no one is forcing you to pay a sub, the game is free to play, and maybe you should reread the F2P option everyone has access to the forums, http://sto.perfectworld.com/about/freetoplay/features-matrix

    How typical & pathetic is this?!?!
    Cryptic/PWE are absolutely the worst at being prepared for launch day!

    As I said before, There's no such thing as a free launch. :P

    Okay, one or two hours, okay.

    Three hours, getting irritated.

    But FIVE HOURS LATER!? Cryptic, seriously?

    So do you rather want us to praise them for botching something up, every single time a patch is introduced?

    I would rather see them TRY to improve the game and then TRY to fix the botch rather than them just ignoring the game or shutting it down completely.

    I'm a lifetime sub. I come home from 17 hrs work and notice server is still down. It's for a large game maker disappointed. But a little advice to Cryptic. The longer you're servers are down, the more gamers sometimes drop out. In the past it happened a lot. It's ok to have server problems, GET THE PROBLEM FIXES. If a bank server is down for hours it's mayor dammage to the community. If a game server is down IT'S FOR ALL US GAMERS NOT FUNNY.

    SO make the thing work again ;---

    Greetings

    SO, a player who just paid a lifetime sub, will have more rights than you, correct? since he is supporting the game more than you do, right?

    And, what the hell make you think that people who pays a sub is wasting more money that someone that doesnt pay any sub?? Someone who buy zen every month, even if he is not paying any sub, supports cryptic more than you do. So YOUR point is invalid.

    Honestly, i dont get people who pays a monthly sub. I see more sense on a lifetime, but monthly?? Thats stupid and sorry if someone feels ofended. But if you want to support cryptic, just buy zen every month and you got it. But paying a monthly sub??? seriously, i dont get it.

    VPS's would not in any way be good for a multi cluster server environment. Cryptic uses multiple DEDICATED servers.

    you must be joking?! i paid lts and got what the service asked, i dont ask more or less then that and game time which ive had for years. i dont see how any of that is connected to asking people to gtfo, thats not your right or call.

    Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

    This is what the Cryptic Developers said when they thought they could release new content without a server crash.

    I find it interesting that the ONLY year that Cryptic had server meltdowns was the last one, and at the height of the games popularity too. Cryptic, I know your probably just going to miss this post but before you release season 9 MAKE SURE YOUR DAMN SERVERS WONT CRASH.

    i don't know what game you have been playing but server issues have been part of STO since open beta
