Honestly I bet the guys at Blizz are laughing them selves silly at this. Even though they had similer probs themselves having GOA in charge must be a bit of a relief for them.

y well blizz and goa both french so they should know each other.
Well the official website doesnt exactly work right now :P News isnt loading.
This is what betas are for. Often stuff gets delayed a few hours and problems occur etc. This happens so that we dont have to put up with it come launch. I know which situation I'd rather have.
Or GOA could have, like every decent other professional company who know how to plan things, launched the Account Center a lot sooner.
This way problems could have been solved in a timely manner, instead of leaving everything up till the last moment.

I just had this funny image of blizz prank calling GOA.
"Hello GOA Support"
"Hello I need to speak to a manager"
"OK can I take your name?"
"Yes my name is Hajur"
"And your surname sir?"
"Hajur Servazdown"

To the posters that say well it is a beta that is no excuse for stupidity which is what is going on now.
I'm not sure if they wanted to piss off customers if they could have done it much better. First sell a ton of pre-orders that imply you will get time in the beta to experiment. Then put up no information at all for ages about how you can actually do it. Next, send out an additional 500,000 or so open invites to fan-sites to be sure to have lots and lots of people trying to get on at the same time. Next you finally post on your very unfriendly website that the open beta is starting and that registration will start the day before. Change that with no excuse, explanation that actually it will start at 8:30 a couple of hours before the OB is supposed to start.
Last step? Stand back and watch all the people you have built up into a mass tide overwhelm your 286 based web server and STILL provide no explanation or information to any of your customers let alone the ones that have paid for this privilege.
I am not trolling simply stating the obvious, seriously i wanne play aswell and pre ordered but i wasnt expecting it to be online and running.
I think 90% of the people whining here actually knew for a fact they wouldnt get to play this morning.
you are the onpy person on this tread who is being an ass, people have made plans around this so please stfu and stop telling people how they should vent, you are just as bad having a go at us
He isnt being an ass - 90% of people are being ass kicking off because they cant register their keys. It is perfectly reasonable to expect there to be problems innitially.
I wouldnt have made the announcement with a time personally and i would imagine this registraation could have been done a few days ago to spread out the load but C'est la vie.

From posts by GOA representatives I gathered that the Account Center wasnt even ready to go live due to poor communication from Mythic with them. But surely it would be ready at least 1 day before the day the beta starts...you would think anyway.
Im still not jumping on them just yet as this is just the beta. Will have to see how it goes.

Well there is some truth in this but you forgot to add - give the managagement to a french company.
I just dont get it. Testing the reg servers for launch is part of beta right? I get that bit. But why wait to the day of ob to test them, it dont make sense unless the actual server clusters are borked and they are using this as an excuse to get some extra testing time in before they open the doors, we have a large patch to come as well.

Tin foil beanie anyone?
a 3gig patch, yes.
8 gigs took me 15 hours to download from war-europe, so I don't expect to be playing beta until tonight.
The reason why the registration process has stopped on the main site is , that when u run the patcher to login it gives you the option to register. Yes it actually lets you register BUT on page 2/3 of making the account the last part of a security image is bugged and giving a 11.03 error ..hence why its not working as intended..

Sure its that big? It wont take as long from the patcher...we hope. Reason for downloading the beta being slow was because MMO companies seem to not be able to design a working downloader.
The thing had a big fat memory leak making it eat CPU for no reason when it was sat doing nothing. It caused me to BSOD for the first time in 2 years. Not only that but the downloader itself forced upload and was generally bloody slow.
The patcher shouldnt be Peer2Peer. If it is then i'll personally go down there and punch them.

war-europe for me is just a 'page cannot be displayed' now. Seems to be slowly deteriorating as the coffee leaks further down their cpu hard drive ...
This is rediculous... get your act together GOA!
