    Hrmmm.... no word from Cryptic.
    More than likely, they don't know their failing.

    Man I was just trying to get all my characters last day of extra Romulan rewards too.

    I got kicked from the damn game on a character change.

    I found this site, http://stostatus.com/ , thanks 106th fleet! Basically it's saying the account server is dead, maybe it's just down for maintenance although it's 2 days before they said Arc would go down, maybe those that will be live during that downtime have to go down first.

    Thankfully I got my last batch of Lobi from the FE before this happened.

    Account server down. fascinating. I don't know much about how these things work so it's a bit surprising that the account authentication has it's owns server. Seems a bit convoluted to me.

    There isn't anything in the DEV Tracker yet that they are even aware of the problem. Do we know if Khan has taken control of Cryptic/PW?

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

    Okay, I was in the middle of Dilithium grinding when all of the sudden I get an "Account Ticket Failue" error and am DCed. When I try to log in after restarting, I get "Unable to Authenticate" errors in the launcher.

    I have tried the following:
    • Restarting the launcher
    • Releasing/Renewing IP
    • Restarting Router and PC
    • Flushing DNS
    • Checking the forums

    Also, Cryptic should compensate for missing Dilithium. Which is 12 chars times 8000 Dilithium at 151 Dilithium Per Zen equaling a total of 635 Zen (rounding down). :P

    I know there was an old app that monitored the Servers, is that still about or is there another way to see the UP's and DOWN's?
