This is true, but I had logged in prior to that post, though after about five minutes in was given the boot, then I came to the forums to see what was up, if anything.
I think it was not wide spread at first, that is all I am saying, and for all I know the mod logged out and back in to check.
That's a fair explanation of what happened.
At least a Community Management Specialist (Community Management wha?!) has responded now, and officially acknowledged the issue, and that they're working in it.
I'd love to get into the foundry, make stories..but my god.it is not user friendly.
Oh I know, it's ridiculous. Half the battle is just getting the UI to perform a simple task.
They really should move the Foundry Editor out of the game and into "offline" mode.

No update for like 2 hours on their twitter.. but I bet they are trying to fix this problem so it does not pop up again the minute everything is up and running, as I experienced random DCs and lag around one hour before this failure began to spread.. as others did and mentioned as well..
EDIT: lol .. last update information actually just hit the public seconds ago.. nevermind
yes they know the probelm, the reason is harder, the solution is just out of reach until the reason is found if no reason is found you are just left with the problem. Vicious circle.
I actually know a guy who watches tractors ploughing fields on youtube... seriously... he is fascinated by them. He used to work on a farm... I call it tractor TRIBBLE...so... in honour of him...find me the best tractor TRIBBLE out there!
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.
Nearly GMT midnight and still not back on, ...living upto expectations.....
for once its a good thing it crashed when it did for us out here in europe, we can get some sleep and not worry too much, the american side of the equation is not so fortunate, im sure a lot of kids and tired workers want to come home unwind by playing sto and find the server down in and around this sort of time frame.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
I'd love to get into the foundry, make stories..but my god.it is not user friendly. and I miss City of heroes Architect. That was user friendly.
That is the problem, it's almost impossible to do anything truly good with the tools currently at hand, the current enthusiasts who do try their best with the crappy tools Cryptic have left them to use often have to resort to hacks and and all kinds of non-optimal methods to just get the basic functionality they need to create a mission.
The thing is as much as I admire the enthusiasm The Foundry as it is just doesn't draw a significant number of users and never will, even with reward weekends like this one... where the reality is people just spam the spotlights and then disappear after the weekend ends. All this just shows that people go for the rewards not the Foundry itself. It's a thankless task being a Foundry Author, little love from the developers and even less from most users. So you probably made a good choice avoiding it.
If anyone is in the GMT timezone I suggest at this point unless you're a night owl you should get some sleep. It's probably not going to get resolved any time soon
surely one of the bigger problems they are going to have is when it all starts back up again and everyone online tries to logon at the same time. The poor logon server/s are going to think they are being hit with a DDOS attack
Seems all Cryptic games use the same server... Not just STO is down, but Champions and Neverwinter too
I believe they're sharing the same chat servers too. Would be kinda naive of us, to think they really have like 20 different buildings for 20 different games.
What happened with the servers this time. I have no idea why but this happens about once a year. The same thing happened last year when Legacy of Romulus came out and the servers were down until around 3:00 or 4:00 am est.

Lol they fix it, and then we break it, just like small children ;D
Now now...no more of that I'm afraid. Some moderators seem to have have had senseofhumour-ectomies and I am no longer to comment on comedic things such as this. Lest I get another slapped wrist.....
Wonder if everyone else using the phrase I used got a spanking as well....
I understand that information is disseminated over twitter, especially when there are server issues but I don't twit and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Is there any possibility that there could be updates made on the STO homepage?
A little server up/down indicator would also be really appreciated.

Fun laughing or mean
Google is also the heartless corporate monster which has been destroying YouTube since they took over back in September of 2006.
Google destroys anything and everything that they get their filthy hands on.
To everyone that constantly whines about Perfect World Entertainment, just be glad that they aren't the corporate monster known as Google.

unlikely, just like the other evenets where there have been a few hours unscheduled downtime
I hope it stays after the event. I love that one. I like the station defenses.
