I'm quiet mellow about the whole thing. We will all be able to get on at some point. What I would like to know is that after all these years, why is the first day of a beta event always like this. "We where not expecting such heavy traphic! The servers can't handle it captain!". I mean, have these guys ever been to a beta test before?
Yeah weird. It's like this for every mmo game so far. They should really go for a timed approach, different logon time for smaller groups of people. Where they mail you the time you can start.
this is really a good point:
Tera gives away keys.. they should know the numbers and be prepared for it..
So how did you guys all get into the beta? I got nothing, even though I signed up for it the first day it was available.
If you pre-order the game you get acces to all the upcoming Beta's It is a commercial stunt ofcourse, but who cares ? just 5 dollars to get acces to all the beta's is no problem for me.
I have pre-ordered but didn't get a key.
This is a diffrent event. Real beta starts on the 10th.

I dont mind having to wait, no big deal at all. Especially for a free event.
I often wonder myself how can the servers be overloaded when they know exactly how many keys they released, knew the exact time people would try and log in, ect.
Seems like they would plan for this type of thing lol.
Go outside wait 1/2 hours and try again is my guess
NO! must beta test play button thoroughly.
lol
On a side note... why do I get the impression that everyone telling others to go away for an hour is sitting there hammering the play button while they type...
The pre-order key is different from the Sneek-peak key.
To play this weekend you needed to get a special key from gaming sites (german mostly).
FB... Looking for more good news? Here we go! Everyone who has pre-ordered TERA and redeemed the key, will have access to the sneak peek event as well! ~Raven
Hi everyone, currently you're not able to access our login & game servers, due to the heavy load! Same goes for our forums, please wait some more time, we're working on it and will inform you, if we have news for you. ~Raven

Well I guess this is what betas are for. Testing for things like this.
No.... This is not what betas are for. A good company would use the beta to try and get in more players. ANet made a statement about, I think they said that people treat beta as a demo, yes, people don't treat beta as a beta.
Beta have always been about testing but people treat them as a free demo. Closed Betas are mostly testing and open beta is when they show the game off to get players. This is why games have Beta Phases. Nobody is going to release a mmo with out some kind of testing to see how their servers handle the players. Arena Net is only stating what people already know.

This isnt a beta though, its a 'sneak peek' given out to a limited number of people and for a fairly limited timeframe. If it was an open invite 'stress test' then people would probably be more understanding about log in issues.

SWTOR did this and got abuse for that as well. They really cant win.

Shhhhh! Hush you!
Hahahaha. Yeah guys just wait an hour or two!
*smashes play button furiously*
Hey! Stop pressing the button so I can get in!
ALL of you, Go outside for 2 hours. I Cant Get In.... (clicks refresh yet again)
Mabey a huge snowstorm will knock you guys out in EU so I can log in from Texas. YeeHaww

Just asking. But did you check your spam folder?
Good idea. I hadn't. But, it still wasn't there. Oh well, I only preordered yesterday - maybe they are just slow getting back to me.

Hello everyone,
let's start with the good news. If you pre-order TERA and redeem your key, you'll also get access to the sneak peek event this weekend!
Ubisoft is also working together with retail partners, when it comes to pre-order keys and updating different retailers.
For example TERA is already listed with details about pre-order at Amazon.de. Other retail shops will follow of course.
If you have any issues with the client download, account management system or your key, please get in contact with our support: http://tera-europe.com/en/support

Well, that might explain the server load I guess.
That or this Frogster company is made of amateur nooblets.
Who owns the EU servers?
I care about your gaming 'problems' and teenage anxieties, just not today.

Does not matter is this is beta or not. This is not the release of the game where people have paid money to play it. Stuff like this happens and anybody thats been playing mmos for some time knows stuff like this happens. Its silly to be upset because you cant login to play the game for free at the exact time they said the servers will be up for a test.

Well, the protocol requires an active account and then add the sneak peek key, so they should know how many to expect in the first place...
Had they organized a time slot and let people in via email notification, batch by batch; then it would have saved us time and their embarrassment.
Not a good look when a promotion event crashes... should perform their stress test later during CB.

Bah they should be IP blocking anyone not in Europe.
Working on my refresh button smashing skills.
Not really, every couple of minutes *sigh*
Servers stuffed their faces and now having indigestion... been an hr already and it's 2AM in Australia !!!! Off to bed !!!!
I honestly figured they would. Tho I am glad they did not as I am in the US

At least i'm getting a new error now:
Error: 01120000
JSON parse error
I blame the new splash screen... I got to the server selecet screen just fine last night... maybe if I spam click it...
Just not worth my time anymore.
