.... players have been flooding onto the beta servers. We've been working on the systems constantly and at the moment more than 70,000 fans are able to play...
Nice PR spin, almost 24 hours later most of us are still waiting for an email from them...
i didn't play CB registered my code yesterday around 4:30pm CET. Left it be, woke up this morning and bam: e-mail in inbox, logged in and playing. Don't see the issue tbh. If people stopped flooding there system once they know their code has been registered (i.e, you don't get any error 414's etc) there wouldn't be such a long wait.
it's typical. a bunch of impatient kids moaning because they can't play and so blame the people who run it. if anyone actually knew the scale required to launch the game in over 5 differnet languages to over 10 countries you'd be a little more patient.
Yep you're absolutely right, there's no problems and everything is great.
Also the thread about this on Warhammer Alliance is not 111 pages long, has not got 1660 posts and has not been viewed 121,294 times, it's just a bunch of kids moaning.
There are few threads on warhammeralliance about the OB, some of them have more than 111 pages . I'm seriously considering cancelling my preorders now and getting the US version of the game too...
9 days to til Sep 18, toons will be wiped, where´s the problem?
Oh, I forgot, the hardcore PvPers
*But I wanted start training with my guild mimimi... I payed for this miiiimimimi... bought 5 mice and 3 headsets mi...*
Yeah, betas are important, but sometimes I wish, it was limited to 1000 testers. Because look at these threads: the slightest ability of rational thinking... blown away by impatience and desperation.
goa are currently still using a "temporary" workaround system that they hacked together a day after everything was supposed to be working. (which doesnt work)
the original system (the integrated one) has not been tested yet.
there are no ETAs on anything, and no updates since yesterday.

If it was limited to 1000 testers then they could never stress test so the servers would never be ready.
Also I never went for open beta as I thought there would be alot of problems but I do feel sorry for the guys that did go for it and cant get in,I dont feel it is just a bunch of kids whinning it is people venting there fustration at something that should be working and isnt,hell I am 35 and if something doesnt work for after maybe 2 days of trying be it my TV,car or indeed a game I get pretty pissed off,The TV and car I can get someone here to fix withing 24hrs but who do these guys waiting for the beta call?
Sorry but the only guys I see here calling people kids are people that are either playing the game now or people that have no intention of playing the open beta.
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"
+200,000 euros had valid keys... only "70K are playing" ... so, 130K are the mob complaining about goa-way?
"70K playing," ? are not the EU servers caped at 1,000 loged in each? are there 70 EU OB servers?
... still trying to dl (download) the bloody NA OB client, much less get it to patch correctly. strangely checking the beta site and checking the server status link, it still list all servers (5) as down?? last announcement 20 Aug 2008 (? three weeks ago !!)

Weird, didn't they say the game servers have been taken down completely, how are you playing?
