    Isn't there a backup server that could server as a fail over? After all, this is a PRODUCTION commercial server, and one would think it should have a BACKUP. If one of my production servers went down like this (and it seems to be often), I'd be FIRED on the spot. All I can say is wow.....

    You know what they say about 'assumptions', no?

    I hope this extends the Mirror event, merely for the sake of players who missed the first week and need the final fourteen days, this being one of them.

    I hope this does happen, because I needed this day for my characters.

    That's actually what I was logging in to do the mirror event for the day.

    As far as earlier comments on this thread that this kind of thing is not common, well the part where the whole server goes down might not be common however, server not responding messages are highly common in this title. NWO doesn't have them at all didn't even have them in beta, there's something going on with STO's servers has been for some time. I get long long delays between maps on this game that I never ever see on NWO and then messages like the one about where it sometimes gets into the 300 second mark of server not talking to my rig. It's annoying to say the least.

    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.

    As I said this is identical to a routing issue they had about 18 months ago which led to a long outage why they tried to work out why they weren't resolving down the jumps.

    It took a while to sort it out and I think it was more of a problem in Europe than it was elsewhere.

    What does gas cost over there...

    AND you have a tablet and/or smartphone... Stop every 10 mins and check the forums with that.
    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.

    Thank you, old alternative future reality Spock. Now the next question - did they defeat this issue, and if so, how? :)

    I'm a little concerned by this comment of yours. Just because it works fine for you does not mean you should conclude all is okay for everyone. It isn't. Sever has been in ''down' status for hours now. Please, fix.

    I too pointed this comment from this moderator out. This is not the way a moderator should be answering posts , IMHO. Not sure if they are new to the forum or what the deal is with that answer, but they should be removed as a "community moderator" if this is how they reply to actual outtages being experienced by players.

    the question is what will you do when STO is gone and no longer here?:confused:

    This is true, but I only ever get that kind of thing with the random generated content, like explring in Delta Volanis and the like. I assume it's a few random generation rolls to figure out what the area will look like, what si going on, and all of that, I can see a conficting argument happening in that situation causing a hangup, it's annoying for sure, but I can see it happening.
    I haven't played NWO, so I don't know how it works, or if it has random map spaces similar to STO.

    For shame. Thinking we had any Server Stability at all, and then believing those Server Stability updates are for server stability. What's wrong with you, man? :D

    Clearly you don't know.

    (A) STO is run from a home server (probably an average desktop running a 4 year old AMD CPU) obviously.

    (B) If PWE/Cryptic actually cared about their players, they'd be running a proper server with backups.
