Is it bad that whenever I see Aggelakis was the most recent poster, my first that is that someone has misbehaved, and my second is that the thread is closed?
But, to in no way be fair to Cryptic, all three of their games are/were down in the same time window, tho not all for the same amount of time; I believe STO's down time actually started a couple of hours earlier than the other two. I'm not a techy (oh, wait; yes I am), but I don't understand how they are running three games on one server with what, circumstantially, appears to be no redundancy. Either the day that NWO went into open beta or the day the new STO content went live, their data center had a catastrophic failure of what I surmise to be either their border router or the network switch that their server connects to. I obviously have no idea what kind of traffic numbers they are experiencing, but it seems like they would have upgraded some infrastructure, by now.
