so it's 11:45 CST and *big surprise* the game isn't up on time AGAIN. I honestly think that cryptic needs to implement a policy of one free zen for every minute server maintenance goes over scheduled time. Call it entitlement, but I bet after a couple times of coughing up several thousand free zen to the player base to keep us a little happier and recompense us for lost play time, the servers would come back up promptly on time.
Eh, it happens. Tech problems have a way of cropping up unexpectedly and requiring an unpredictable amount of time to fix. Also, free Zen to every player will probably just cause irregularities in the Exchange, since it won't add up to enough to buy anything from the store.

OP issues orders to finish on time or pay, OP gets time wrong, so now each dev that has ever worked on it and managed to get the game back on time gets zen from OP at the exact same ratio. In all instances when game was up early, there's a bonus fee.
Because I too can feel entitled to make demands and issue punishments as I see fit. Yours truly, the Orion Syndicate.
Devs: Provide the option to Turn OFF full screen flashes from enemy ship explosions

"A year ago the servers would be back by now" is a time paradox.
The effort is still required. So cryptic had to move all the extended downtime into the future and that is what we are experiencing now.
The only way to fix it is with a beam of tachyons.

Big surprise. People again can't figure out the correct time. It's 17:00 UTC.. Which means maintenance will take another 30 min. Before you embark on a rant campaign at least check your facts.
Op says they are late, they might not have been late, but they are NOW. Late as usual. Being late is the normal for the them, it always has been. So yeah, they cannot be on time, there is nothing in their past that would indicate otherwise, no evidence that they can be on time.

4.5 hours are NOT 4hours and 5minutes but 4 hours and 30min, you know?
Troll post, I'm betting. I can't believe anyone's that dumb.

I work for a it-support firm, there are a lot of them, we call such a case "60/40 problem".
In 60% of all incidents the problem sits 40 cm away from the keyboard.
Beta, LTA, CE, Multiple preorder Versions, all Addon Packs except AoY, nearly all KDF/Rom and ~50% of all Fedships, over 25 LockboxShips, Endurer of Atari's "Year of Hell", but...
Earlier, I was thinking there couldn't possibly be a more entertaining thread to read than the one with the SJWs and their imagined slights...but this thread wins hands down, imho, for its simplicity.

lol, as if to re-iterate my earlier point......still have 15 min to go by my count, settle down ppl
Geeze people?! the server will get up when it gets up why not go outside get a breath of fresh air there is an actual world away from the computer.
and yes i did take a nice walk earlier while ive been waiting was nice to get out and walk around and just relax
That would mean I would have to leave the toasty confines of my bedroom, throw some rain boots and raincoat on, step onto the porch and summarily get drenched on by this cold rain out here in the Boston 'burbs. Nope, life is too wet today for breaths of fresh air...
WELL IF THE JAPORI INCIDENT HAS TAUGHT ME ANYTHING, IT'S THAT MY EXISTENCE IS AN EXPLOIT. THANKS CRYPTIC.

This post says 4.5 hours for maintenance. We're only at about 3.5 hours of maintenance. We have less than an hour left.
The only thing you need is a little common sense, and not a sense of entitlement with free ZEN.
It will be finished around 12:30 PM CST for you.
10:30 a.m. would be 12:30 p.m. Central.
Nothing happened - it's still ongoing. OP just made a math error.
Better be do the SF Miracle Worker appoach and multiply the time window by a factor of 4.
Even that lesson got not adapted too well it seems
Most of the time people can't tell time though.

Have fun!

And with that it's online!
Imagination works too I see...
I've been with STO since Beta, and you know what? These threads, as little sense as they keep making, keep appearing.
There is no difference between now and a year ago... It's all in your head.

Meh, it's raining in Hartford right now.
Don't you know this is cryptics big bad plan to stop us getting to t3 on the global delta rewards guage?
You know the truth is out there -a wee wa woo wa woo..oo..ooo...oo-

well i guess that cant be helped i hate those rainy days when you cant even go for a walk just to getr outside for a few minutes

I think that's where the servers are.
It's true. They were early. Damn them.
