When was the last one of these unexpected shutdowns? A couple months ago? That isn't a bad record for a F2P MMO.
Couple months? I would say 2 perhaps 3 patches ago, there was an immediate emergency downtime to address a problem in the patch and the day after it was patched again. Since (to me) this was in itself not news to me, I did not note the date or situation but 2-3 months seems too long of a stretch.
Any news from cryptic yet?you would think they would give regular updates about the outage.Like we are aware of the problem and have a team investigating.estimate time for repair so and so minutes.
They have already done so. The only thing they don't know yet is an ETA.
I read page 1 on this issue and seeing 67 pages of thread in 4 hours since page 1 initial report, I think we can assume it's not an isolated incident, plus several posts have mentioned this affects more than just STO, so it's time to occupy ourselves elsewhere until our server elves fix it.
If there have been any updates on facebook/twitter/reddit/vine about this could someone be so kind as to share with the rest of us on the forums plz.
They haven't posted anything. Also folks, the first post will be updated as soon as their is any ETA

Do we have any idea of an eta on this yet?
Its 21:41 here and my gaming day is almost over.
Is it worth me hanging about watching trollwars? or shall i just take my whiskey and go watch t.v?

They are aware of the problem. However only a fool would give an estimate of when it will be fixed. Any even daring to do so would be taking a risk. Given how things can down hill fast when the regular downtime goes on a tad too long.
Guys, seriously, whinging about the game being down is not going to bring it back up any faster.
Also, people have been saying that there have been no updates. First, check post #1 (the mods updated that earlier). Second, if they kept posting updates nothing would get done.
Thirdly, abusing other members for trying to help the mods keep things on topic is not a reason or justification to attack them (in the example of wildboar). Wildboar is doing their best at keeping things on topic. Attacking them, or anyone else regardless of their status, is not going to help the situation.
I understand some people only have a limited amount of time to play, but this situation is beyond our control. Let the tech guys fix it so we can get back to disintegrating Voth. It will be up when it's up.

You expect miracles.lol Maybe if were lucky a community manager who has no idea what is going on will come in and say "Sorry the servers are still down no clue on anything else" and we will all go "GAHHH!!" and they will feel some what sorry for us.lol

Askray, I didn't violate any rules. I pointed out to a spammer that he should stop it. So why are you erasing my posts instead of his? And any ETA when this game will be back online?

If there's one good thing about pay-to-win microtransaction MMOs, it's that the tech team reacts faster to server outage.
In the good ole days of monthly subs and no throwing money out the window to purchase the latest vanity pet, a server outage wouldn't hurt the publisher directly and reputational damage required several significant downtimes in a row.
With STO, every minute is a minute where 100 players aren't buying a lockbox key, or a pack of three starships. It's actually a relief for some players

At least someone is doing something. Even if it is wrong.

Few in this thread say tribble is up past the patcher, holo is not. Try it if you can, I have no room for it on my main drive currently.
HAHAHA made you all look!

You sir are off-Topic
Just had his voice in my head " Its RAW"

discussing moderation publically is a breach.
