Arc seems to thing everybody is served by east coast servers, or are we? That would explain all the server problems. Of course it hasn't been as bad as when it would go down every Sunday morning.
There's an awful lot of whining going on in this thread.
Who knows what's happened. Hardware could have failed. Problems getting into the co-location if that's where their servers are, and yes, it's a holiday, so people are probably on call.
Go have sex with a significant other or something and remind yourself what real human contact feels like.
@ organicmanfred - That, Sir, is only the most amazingly frakkin' brilliant thing I've seen today. Thank you for the laugh. 'Cuz I really needed it after the morning I had at work. Much appreciated.

I imagine this is going to be a Very lengthy Downtime. it's new years day.
They havn't even had time to give us the tribble patch for the winter event, ( which is a cripppling bug, but its fixed on tribble) And everyone is out on break.
Since they are all understandbly out on beer runs right now. I'd say go play something else for now.
I'm going to load up Skyrim and emerse myself in a exploratory environment filled with story line, instead of fuming in the forums or sitting in earth space dock for 10 hours.
This.
I'm going to play State of Decay or Alien: Isolation. (Both are EXCELLENT games BTW, and highly recommended.)
Although I'm sure it's a priority to get STO back online, don't forget that it's NYE and STO's staff is almost certainly not at full strength...they're regular people just like us, who want to have their well-deserved time off for the holiday.
Give them a break, guys. This is a hugely complex game, and servers go down from time to time. It's a holiday. They probably have contacts from several teams on call, and no doubt, they've all been activated and are working on fixing the issue now.
If they didn't charge for stuff, there would be no game, and no continuation of Star Trek canon. So get over it, and buy some ships from time to time.
In the meantime, while you wait for the servers to come back up, you could go outside or read a book.
Indeed we are lucky to have Star Trek Online, The new Trek is just messed up, as is the stargate franchise with that reboot.
"Omega Class will prevail she cannot be defeated!"
I am sure someone is on call. Seriously think about this you have a game company that hosts many games, wouldn't you ask for a volunteer or two in order to handle server downtime. I am sure the main team is off but where I work the network admin is sorta on call if there is an issue he has to go in and fix it.
I'm sure they have people designated to be on call over the holidays, just like how I was at my job, and ended up working a little every day over the Thanksgiving break. But it's cool, I got a couple of comp days. lol
hah! figures. the server comes down just before the new year, if i were superstitious i would be making a new years resolution about the server :P. its just an underlining feature of the game that has been frequent this year.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
OK, let me just get the regular whining over with quickly:
There, that should do it. Now we can have some actual optimistic and sensible comments.
How's that saying? Servers down the last of the year, servers down all of the year :P
I am out celebrating anyway but in the 30 mins I was home and STO was down , I had fun playing another game : a good filler for when STO is down
Of course it's a pain in the collective keister & an inconvenience for us all, but I'm sure Cryptic personnel are trying to fix whatever problem it is if they can.
Happy early New Year to everyone by the way!
Even though I didn't participate I hope they get more creative & community engaged with events like that Design a Duty Officer. Congratulations to the winners. Implement that type of concept & expanded upon it, BOFFs & etc, to compliment crafting possibility I think would be tremendous.
Good thing its Bowl Season. Sit back and relax and get ready for the Fiesta Bowl. After watching TCU show the selection committee it made a huge mistake I'm not too enthused with Boise State and AZ. I hope the servers get back up soon:cool:
I was going to blame North Korea for hacking PWE but wouldn't that be tatamount to hacking China? Would they be so stupid as to TRIBBLE off their only friend (except for Dennis Rodman) in the world?

OH MY GOD, EA and Cryptic are fusing :eek:
