Star Trek Online

dam you peeps getting all the goodies .. in 2 days ive been on about 2 hours so far and still only 3rd LT .. grrr

I can see its gonna take a long while for me to catch up and i bet i even get over taken by the newbs on release day .. LMAO

oh well got a lifetime to use it and take my time :cool:
 
dunno if this has been posted before but i thought it was interestin to know:

The shard starts up in a "locked" mode that blocks player logins. Once the system is fully online (about 20 machines need to run a variety of server programs which can take a good 10-30 minutes to load depending on what it is), we have our QA team run what is called a "white glove" test if there have been any upgrades (we swapped out some stuff to improve the c-store performance to avoid a repeat of the liberated borg issues). QA runs through a quick sanity check to make sure nothing is hideously wrong (DB failed to load, missing characters, can't login, etc etc) they approve the startup and the operations team unlocks the shard. While it is locked you see this error because you are not allowed to login at that time. The More You Know (tm).

Very good to know - didn't know that!
 
When is this game going live etc?

Recently packed in WoW (again) and looking for something completely different from the standard MMO and this seems to offer it (a little bit of the EVE feeling?)

Always liked trek world so will give it a go. Im assuming there will be a ocuk guild on a certain server or something?

It already is live.

The server is instanced so it's a case of getting everyone in a fleet and in the same instance:)
 
"live" is debatable :D

So far its had as much downtime as it has uptime so i would describe it as barely alive but keeps getting 240volts shoved threw it to boost it for a while

I'm not as angry as some on the STO forums but i think those defending STO at the moment by saying it always happens and its still beta are wrong to do so ...

firstly - the devs have previous experience and obviously havent learnt from the previous errors
secondly - the game has had closed beta then open beta to sort out most problems and glitchs but ....
thirdly - headstart is supposed to give peeps who preordered a headstart (as the name suggests) by a few days over the retail purchasers therefore it SHOULD be the finished product and not an extention of the beta

having said all that i preordered and i have a lifetime sub ... its frustrating and annoying and should not have happened as it has .. more a false start than a headstart

fingers crossed its a short downtime but history so far suggests average downtime is around 3 to 4 hours :(

yep shorter than usual downtime ... cant get in unless i use EU proxy still .. and when i got it the game server booted me before the load screen finished

the joys of computing :rolleyes:
