    You can get on but no chat and the friend list doesn't work also. So You can get on but can't chat and can't tell if your friends are even on. That is no fun hope they fix it soon. :)

    This is being looked into as well.

    Thanks muchly! I'll check it tomorrow morning before the ship sale is supposed to end.

    Either way, thank you so much for coming in here and keeping us up to date. I'm a systems administrator by trade, so I've had systems go down at very inopportune times myself, and I feel the pain of everyone who's stuck at work (or working from home) dealing with this. I'm sorry this has happened to you folks on New Year's Eve, and tip my hat to you and those working behind the scenes to get us back up and running. :)

    The answer is: Dev Tracker

    That will list all of the posts made by any dev, which itself can be a tool to find threads in which they are active or have answered questions for other players that you yourself might benefit from. Give it a click now and again if you want to see what the devs have to say. ;)

    Were I to "give a man a fish" instead...

    I am trying to charge ZEN and when I get to the point I have to choose the game, STO isn't an option. Is this b/c of the server problems or whatvever the problem is that once again is causing this game to be non-functional?

    The one good thing with no chat channels/zone chat working at all is not dealing with spammer sales chat when visiting public hubs.

    Yay for the dev tracker.

    Unfortunately, my question is not on there.

    Again, I ask...is there some issue with new accounts not being able to log in?

    You can turn zone chat off anytime through the chat settings...

    That place spams so much, I've wondered if people actually purchase from there. I mean, they have to, right? I can't imagine that place being so dedicated, if it was not generating some cash flow.

    Crazy.

    This supports my earlier statement. Perfect.

    Umm, yeah. Not really dude. Sorry.
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    Why people like this continue to play is beyond me. Complain and complain but keep coming back lol. Hilarious.
    Because the only way something can be improved upon is when someone tells them what is wrong.
    If people always tells them everything is perfect and agree with everything they do, then nothing would every get fixed.

    The odd part with Cryptic is you can tell them till you are bluegeek in the face and they still don't fix the obvious or playtest the balance changes they make...

    Helloez.

    Time is 3:34 am here in Finland "+2gmt i think" and just got msg popping to screen that global chat server offline. Well,it's been like that for me about 40mins,but only now saw that server msg popping to screen and good to know that's cause of that and not cause of my Sto client bugging. I haven't been able to see any chat at all during this time and chat options doesn't show any of my created custom channels and i have few of them.

    I assume this global chat tech prob will be fixed tomorrow if not soon :) Now can't wish Happy Safe New Year 2015 for any one,but i wish it for all here hehe.

    Happy and Safe New Year 2015 for all Sto staff ppl and Sto fans :)

    - 34y old Long time Sto fan and old Trekkie -
