What, the servers were overwhelmed at launch, just like every other mmo? Sucks I'm stuck at work and can't play yet, even if it would just be to stare at the login screen, lol. "Because it's easier to nitpick something than to be constructive." -roach5000 |

I do hope you didn't do your toilet business as you sat at the login screen. ;P But, apart from that, it would be nice if there was something up on the main page of the official STO website to state what is going on and what is being done. Since the forums are down, that's all I ask. Something to keep us updated. I guess I was half hoping this wouldn't happen, but aren't nearly all MMO launches rocky and rife with problems like the ones currently occurring? From experience, I'd say yes. Have fun those who have got in! I envy you. ;) _______ Now Playing: |

Well, at least it takes like 5 seconds to tell you unable to authenticate now. LOL. |

first /sign Cryptic fails again. I agree but at the same time I'm someone who has played CoH and CO at launch/headstart both cryptic's babys and both failed in similar fashion at launch. So with that I went into this already expecting the same. Though I do have to say shame on them for not at least learning from their champions online launch that was just months ago and went through the exact same problems during the head start. By now with their experience in launches they should of anticipated and set Q's in place to reduce the sudden stress from every potential customer logging in at the same time but I digress. So it was expected. However whether or not it was expected still doesn't take the sting out of the fact I've already put 280 dollars into the game to only be able to participate on a forum on an independent web site 55 minutes into the official head start. So I'll just sit here squeeze my stress ball and try to be patient while they go through the same thing they just went through with CO months ago.

WoW, Warhammer, AoC, christ i could go on.....they all had problems at launch, i can't think of any mmorpg except LOTRO which had anything but a rocky beginning.
AoC servers were fine during head start / launch, but people tend to have selective memory when they defend others ;) |

I imagine the game's popularity has overshadowed everything they could have imagined. Who knows how many people are beating at the gates to get in. Everyone should have expected it to start rocky, it's probably a huge amount of preorders trying to log in at once. |

From the official forum page: "Some players may experience difficulties logging into Star Trek Online Right now, we are aware of this issue and working on a resolution. Thank you, The Star Trek Online Team" Some? ------------------------------------------------ Playing: Guildwars, single player games |

Yes this MMO and this MMO failed at launch, but you know what maybe someone would learn from all of these mistakes already. "Onward to adventure". |

One more thing I would like to point out though realizing I only had negative to say in my previous post. Even though I beleive Cryptic fails at launches I do however feel that they make a good enough product that at least I myself will sit through the initial issues and continue to play. Hence I've already purchased my life sub lol.

yeah this is no different from any game launch in any way, though they knew they needed more servers weeks ago and they should have been preping for this by getting even more of them. Even WoW crashed on launch day a few times, I really think all the people shouting epic fail need to read up on mmo history. when you get to many people trying to do one thing at once anything will crash. Give them a bit to fix it, if it's not better by tomorrow then you can shout fail. |

I was in and playing and got booted. It told me it could no longer authenticate me. I thought that was odd since I was already in game. |

Aye, this is like the days of SWG, when SOE had to fly Oracle engineers red eye from VA to CA. So much for Cryptic's single server idea again. FAIL. |

I dont care about other MMO's I care about this one. I paid for a lifetime sub and cryptic in typical cryptic fashion dropped the ball AGAIN. And you would think they would learn a thing a two from the past but they do not. And for people calling me a troll--whatever i paid the same amount for a lifetime sub and Retail box purchase so i will complain all i damn well please. I defended this game vigourously but i will defend it no more. |
