    Ahem... no? Theres a dedicated Mac client.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Say no to an extension of an event, I want free Zen for this! Events come and go all the time but a chance to get free Zen doesn't.

    We're not going to get anything. This is not the way things work.

    If this were ArenaNet and something like this happned during an event, do you know what'd happen?

    They'd extend the event if the servers were offline for this long AND give a little something of some kind to their customers. But ANet are competent developers and are in no way anything like Cryptic or their Perfect Wreck Extortion overlords.

    Here, however, we'll get a post now and again about how the problem is almost solved, and just needs another 15 minutes. Then, 6 hours later, we'll get another post about how the problem is almost solved and just needs another 15 minutes.

    So just settle down, you evil little gamer. You may get some kind of "Hey, we're sorry, but we'd like to show just how sorry by extending or giving you a bauble," from a decent company that's not just in it to line their pockets and milk something dry.

    But here, all you get is treated badly.

    Yes, the server is down, and they are working on it and they will come back to report the same information again and keep you at square one of wonder.

    Why don't they put that effort in creating a native linux client? Who cares for Mac?

    Aye, have it; just curious as to whether it's possible to access Tribble using that, since we can't get to Holodeck atm. Worst case, I'll try the Windows client, as long as it's accessible to F2P accounts.

    dude for real get off your high horse and stop replying to anything .. and maybe JUST maybe they will leave you alone ..just saying

    Doesn't it strike you as rude to ignore someone? I tried, it felt wrong to do so. It's just odd that when someone asks others to follow rules and guidelines put there so everyone has equal rights to discuss relevant matters, they get mad and attack you personally. All I want is information on when the server is expected since that is what this thread is for, and others seem to think my wanting that here is inappropriate and well I disagree with them.

    no, actually, Anet would do nothing, and they listen to their players worse than Cryptic does.

    .. So it was YOU who broke the server.

    But to get back on topic, is there an ETA for the server restoration?
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    there was also someone similar to him a while back called benovide...kept worshipping the bortasqu' as PWE's gift to STO...the ship's good, but it's not that good

    oh, and he also kept trolling around saying there was a hard limit to how much damage any given weapon could deal...don't remember what figure he pulled out of his TRIBBLE, though - maybe 40K
