Or instead of different servers.... mirrored nodes around the globe with dedicated monitored/managed bandwidth between them. You attached to the closest node and tada... one big happy game.

Want some cheese with that WHINE?

I'm glad its down at the moment, it means I don't have to play with ******* like you. CHILD!

This!..............

I'm not sure why people like the OP feel the need to act like jerkoffs trying to make lifetime sub-ers feel bad in their annoying whining posts.

Thanks, missed that typo

NO NO NO NOO NO NOOOOOOOOOO

Some of us have people from the UK and the US and I'm sick to death of separate servers so I can't play with all my friends.

If you want that then have access to any server available if they are splitting up servers. I like the instanced game as it is now so everyone is in the same place.

NEEEERRRRDDD RAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!

I don't mind if the server goes down every now and then, but everyday is a bit harsh IMHO. I wonder why it takes so long to do the maintenance.

I actually paid for the lifetime sub. I honestly can not tell you why because I paid for a lifetime in Champions and it was the biggest waste of money ever. The game still feels half developed to me. Anyway I figure 1 server is likely more than enough if STO isn't any better than Champions. The over the shoulder view still irritates me and movement working differently in combat is lame. It seems Cryptic has joined SOE in believing MMO standards really have no value helping players enter and enjoy a new game by using past play experiences.

Oh well, a crash here and there isn't all that big a deal. Not compaired to having too little content and rolling out new content fast enough. We will see in a couple of weeks whether life in STO is a mirror of life in Champions. You eventually have nothing to do but socialize and hope for new content or another game to come along.

I realllllly hope there is more content here than I'm expecting. Oh and fewer crashes.
