Hey, can you get your game to run correctly? It'd be real helpful to the people you want play and to give you money. Super lag, constant disconnections and red timers telling me server connection lost detract from gameplay, just fyi. I play STO less and less when all I see is TRIBBLE like this constantly. I just wanted to get on, do R&D and set doff missions on my toons. I couldn't even do ONE toon's missions w/o getting disconnected 2x and having insane lag/freezing (outside ESD). And no, it's not me. The other non-PWE games I play run wonderfully, never have a ping less than 59ms. So it's you.
You want more players, but obviously, have no servers capable of the load. Maybe I'll try to do my 'daily' missions tomorrow. With all due sarcasm I'd like to give a heartfelt "GJ Cryptic".
The server load/queue thing and the disconnect issue are almost certainly two different things.
The one that's been a real pain in the rear for the last week is most likely a network issue, not a server one. I think it's pretty clear from the reports that nearly all the people affected (possibly all of them) are using AT&T, so it's probably an issue with AT&T's connection to Cogent, the ISP hosting the servers.
If it was server load, everyone would be having problems, not just those of us on AT&T.
Of course, it's still on them to get it fixed, even it's it not their hardware TRIBBLE up. They're Cogent's customer, and the ones who'd need to put pressure on them to fix this.
I would proffer that gameplay when doing space combat is suffering from the abundance of skills and visualizations that this old engine is trying to handle.
