logged out about 30 minutes ago..that's it, couldn't get back in if Q ordered it. Seriously?

It's our old friend:

    I'm having the same issue. Must be because of all the traffic at 3am EST... oh... wait.

    Update: I closed my client and opened it again, and it's patching again, even though I played earlier this evening. Awesome job putting up new patch notes.... oh... wait.

    Neverwinter too, so looks like cryptic ker-ploped entirely, not just STO

    Yep, it's borked. Tracert shows a clean path but it's not responding on Cryptic's end again. I really do dread these server stability patches since they never seem to work.

    Yeah same here. Normally this would be the work of the Epohh King but I think 'Q' took care of him for me once and for all. This angers (rage). :mad:

    I'm not surprised. I can't say that I care anymore after the Tribble patch notes were released. What a bunch of stupid decisions!
    The Jar kitty is watching you. :D

    Was going to switch toons, about 30 mins ago also, when I got stuck at the "Connecting to Login Server" screen. I shut it down and it's been gone since.

    Jan 22 Patch Notes:

    Server In-stability patch. (They never catch that typo.)

    As was noted above, I closed the client and now am patching the game... we'll see what happens in a few minutes, even though I patched this evening already anyway. Horray stealth patch!

    I dont think you are suppose to be patching. it might get worst or broke your game.
    the server is currently under emergency maintenance.

    The new patch is over a gig.... and I already patched yesterday. It must be extra stability sauce.

    Thank you for the update Cryptic!

    Thanks for letting us know you were going to patch the game.... again.

    Thanks for responding quickly to this thread.

    Oh... wait.

    Indeed, same issue, looks like the acct server decided to take a break.....:rolleyes:

    maybe it's mad that so many persistent bugs have been left to run a muck unchecked....
