Star Trek Online bug creates neverending party

    
40
Once upon a time, Star Trek Online gave players a “party amplifier” that spawned a disco ball and other effects on command. Then a gremlin got into the system recently and caused the amplifier to stick around forever if a character committed suicide.

This, as you might imagine, was not good, even if the devs thought it was pretty funny. Before too long, the nonstop partying got out of control as players used the amplifiers to troll others and cause performance issues. Eventually, the good humor of the devs turned to pleas to cut it out already.

“If it means anything to those of you doing so, please stop with the party balls,” Cryptic’s Jeremy Randall tweeted. “You’ve had your fun. It will be patched this week.”
