As soon as the headstart began I signed in, created my character... And then got booted. As expected because more and more people started flooding the servers. So I tried to get back in for about half an hour, with no luck. But here's the kicker:

Instead of complaining about something all of us knew would happen (unless we don't know enough about computers to expect it), I took a shower, had lunch, and was able to get on later.

In case anyone doesn't know how servers work it's fairly simple, when you get a mad rush of trek-crazed gamers all trying to sign in at once so they can start 5 minutes before everyone else, it's going to lag and eventually crash. The operators have a choice, limit the connections (so that some players have access) or let the thing crash and nobody gets to play.

I just don't understand how people can think a game in beta, or even just coming out of beta, is ever going to be problem free.

My advice is go out, meet a girl/guy pass a little time in the real world and then play when you don't have flooded servers.

Can't wait till 2 weeks from now, and the same issues exist.

Cant wait till you realize you got Tricked by the same company that EFFED CO up. - Shoulda learned your lesson Fanboy.

Honestly, they're probably sleeping. I bet they've been working super crunch time, so boooo Cryptic management. Shouldn't have rushed it.

I can't login either. Constantly getting a "No Connection To Server" error. Are your servers crashing? Or are they oversubscribed? Or is it the network? Oh fooey, so many things.

Why do you even call it early start? You should call it "payed persistent beta." Your gear doesn't get wiped, but you get to pay to play a beta quality product for the first few month.

Welcome to the Fan Sponsored Stress Test. We're be upgrading our system with your money now, k thx.

Gotta love the credit crunch, minimal capital investments upfront.

Oh wait yes it dose, pick a popular MMO, any popular MMO

Well if he would rented that car and they would work on it costing your rent time.
Oh and what if they wont finish until rent is over? You have just paid for nothing --> scam.

OH NO HE DID-ENT!

Don't see what all the QQ is about. I logged in earlier and was logged for several hours with no problems.

serioulsy, i have no clue what the problem is. i have had no problems since maybe the third day of the OB. some people need to grow up and learn that this is just a game (granted its STAR TREK), just find something else to do and come back later. itll still be there. i promise.

*shakes head* okay noob sauce, calm down.

Maybe your computer just sux. Or maybe you forgot that you still use dial-up. The point being, just because you're having issues getting into the game and staying there doesnt necessarily mean that its Cryptic's fault.

So it's Cryptic's fault that so many people are logging in and trying to get in game? Please, sit down shut up and stop ur whining.

Same here. I think you've just identified another forum troll, that's all.
