    Just back after a one year involuntary hiatus,
    I see everything is still the same XD
    Still glad to be back though.

    Ironically, I came back on the 11th...now it's the 13th. This is precisely why I left in the first place.
    I've probably played 12 different MMO's to end game and I've NEVER encountered a game that has a downtime that exceeds 4 hours every single week.

    So any word on exactly -why- the maintenance keeps getting extended?

    square peg, round hole I think

    Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

    It takes a while to train new Gerbils... Not waiting around today for STO to come back on line today. I guess that is what I get for having a life time membership....

    The first look at the "Life Time Membership Rating System".

    Glad I saw this. *puts away credit card*

    Now extended to 21.30 UTC. See what happens when you don't test stuff before hitting the power button?

    I don't know what I find funnier... the lack of competence in this maintenance or people who honestly think that NOT throwing your money at STO as if it were a coin-op game is some sort of protest. Nobody opened your wallet but you. I mean, what inclined you to open your wallet anyways? Up until this extended maintenance have you been completely oblivious? Or were you too caught up in the gimmicks of the C-Store? Either way, it won't matter. Just look at the player fallout around Delta Rising.

    Dammit, I get a limited time to play, and that has been shot to hell today be these updates. It's really hard to be faithful when these kind of things happen. Moving over to Elder Scrolls, I'll spend my money there, update that.

    I understand some idiot forgot their Cheetos in the server room. Most of the tribbles turning the wheels gorged themselves to death, and it turned out releasing the cannibal tribbles for emergency power was kind of counterproductive.

    If it's any consolation, Neverwinter is saying 2:30pm - guessing the hamster farm is refusing to supply....

    Technical issues. That is all.

    How do you know it's down to 'lack of competence'??? This isn't just STO that's down, it's a number of games service by Arc/PWE.

    To quote someone else in this thread... "Then they must just be the unluckiest company ever" Or something to that effect. Also, glad to know you didn't get past the first sentence of my post ;) LLAP

    I'm glad they're doing hardware upgrades, and if they need more time to get it right, so be it. What really irks me is that the announcement made in the official forums is an utter copy/paste-fail, stating this is going on since two days, and our esteemed community manager can't be bothered to updarte here.
    I remember branflakes providing information via his cell phone here when he was at conventions in europe...

    ... and of course, I'd love to have a T5/6 Kamarag, like there is a T5/6 Ambassador.

    Oh wow! I remember Branflakes. He always did seem to actually care, as I recall.

    I wonder if this ever became a thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWvxgZerb0

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
