If it were for me I'd ignore y'all too..

A queue? In the thousands? Before launch?

The bugs, the crashes, the gaps in content- these were all understandable. But this is insane. The only real response to this from Cryptic that I've seen so far is that 'a lot of people are trying to log on right now'. Once again, this is before launch. Tomorrow we're going to see thousands more trying to log on. What do you think will happen when all these players see that they're #2000 in a queue line? Or #5000? Or #10000?

Up until this point people have had the option to cancel their pre-orders. That's gone starting tomorrow. That 'a lot of people' is going to be pretty angry that they just spent $50-$80 on a game they can't play.

The fact is, there is only one server. It has crashed repeatedly and now this. Seeing as how overload was a problem back in the open beta, the fact that this might be a reality on launch day is inexcusable. I understand completely that doing this things take time and are not a quick fix. I know that this line of work isn't easy, or else I'd be designing STO myself. But if the developers do need more time, if the game is released when it isn't ready yet, that is once again inexcusable. If you need more time delay the game.

I sincerely hope that this can be resolved soon and that this entire rant - as well as all the others - turns out to be unnecessary. But if that isn't the case, Cryptic is going to be facing 'a lot' of angry people.
