    Looking for the release notes for today's maintenance, which are conspicuous by their absence...
    Mac mini Server (mid 2011): 2GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512MB
    OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

    I believe with emergency patches they wait to disclose the notes.

    It is Account Server Maintenance. It is probably to fix the problem with download speeds with the new Patch. It is not Game Server changes.

    This is not the first time STO has had Account Server Maintenance. It is not even the 20th time over the last 5 years.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Maybe they'll put shields on the DJ so you can't kill her anymore.

    Don't worry.

    Your account will just be deleted entirely.

    And tomorrow, when the Cryptic Deletion Ray Satellite finally crosses your country, they will complete their work by deleting you from the time stream entirely.

    The point being that the announced maintenance was the account server... so no c-store or sub activity...

    this is shard maintenance..... totally different and usually after an exploit is found or a major bug in game..... A simple tweet and post on the forum would at least put peoples mind at rest that no new nerf was incoming....

    Suppose to be 10 am my time not even that yet when I was pulled out of gun fight on Nimbus 3! :(

    Anyway why are weapons being allowed at CLUB 47? Disable all weapons then you don't have these issues with the DJ. I am there to dance up the floor, not to do battle. But some players see the need to fool around with others.

    LOL. Me too. I was just about to do a quick test of Argala, when... poof! And there I was, thinking they had taken nerfing to the extreme. :P

    Nah Gecko was in charge of the shut-down. However he is also in charge of the boot up.

    Cya all in 2016.

    If you want to complain that Smirk or Trendy did not put a post in the News section that is valid complaint.

    But here is a difference between Account Server Maintenance and Emergency Maintenance or Scheduled Maintenance. This game has had many Account Server Maintenances over the years; and they have nothing to do with Patching the game. They are about fixing Login and download issues.

    It was announced in my launcher. Not sure if Arc or Steam would also show that message, though.

    Planned? I didn't get ANY notification until just a few mins before I got booted. Just enough time to do a few DOff missions & some crafting slots...

    Really, who announced this, and where??

    And yes, thecosmic1, my point is that there appears to be no communication about this. Now the launcher says "Please check the forums for more information." Where?

    It was announced in the launcher (not arc, the actual game launcher) and was there for at least the last 6 hours.

    It can be only one of two categories of failure:
    1) Game breaker - the game has a critical flaw and can't be played.
    2) Bank breaker - the game has a critical flaw that costs PWE money but could still be played.

    yes it was announced on my launcher too. the point being that the "server" comprises many different machines, some of which can be taken down and altered without pulling down the shard, If the shard was coming down then there would have been announcements like shard down in 60 mins or 30 min or 15.......

    This is additional to the announced maintenance as they never said the shard was being shut down for the account server....

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if later metrics showed there was actually nothing wrong with the login servers, but people simply CHOSE not to log in any more?! :P
