Whats sad about this is that one of their workers had time to go on IGN's forum and explain there was a problem but they don't have the time to update their OWN SITE with the news. Totally lame.

if they cannot even put the account system up.. what do you think they will be able to do with the actual game servers?
You have no clue, do you?
They are getting hammered. This happened to all major games around open betas and launch.
really? thats funny this is the first time I have had trouble just to register a game on a mmo website before and I have played them all, what games did you have trouble with in the webside ????

Lets see.....
World of warcraft had huge problems around beta and launch(I was with them ever since first round of closed beta).
LOTRO had even bigger issues.
Darkfall online crashed when they opened for beta.

I cant remember an ob that waited until the day of ob launch to test their reg server ffs, people have been telling GOA for over a week that this would happen and what they said was that it had been tested and would work. My arse it would work my 6 year old daughter could have told them the damned server would choke when 500k people tried loggin at the same time.
Please stop making exuses for them, GOA knew that this may happen and had no plan B.

funny I played them and had no such issues with the website, must be you're connection
ok takin’ bets now if GOA will ’ave dis fixed before open beta is ment to be live
Of course they wont. But we should be happy actually, it shows the purpose of the open beta works.
An open beta is not an early access, its a stress test to see if the system works on opening day. And we see clearly now that they dont and they are hopefully collecting a lot of informaiton about what is wrong so they can try and fix it for opening day.
Totally irrelevant
Open beta is to test the damn game not the damn website managed bya publisher in this case GOA
We have teh right to not to be treated like crap unlike the Americans
There is no reason that the website shoudl have been operation al a week ago .
We are here to beat test the game not there fucking website
Thats wrong mate. In MMOs an Open Beta is to test the entire online experience including the account pages.
Shure it is.
In the "open beta for dummies" book.
Does it says that Sunday is the designated day for stress testing account websites?
Does it says that account website stress test is to commence as close to opening of open beta?
How does this affect the stresstest in the opening of the beta period if people at first cant create an account. Is this bottleneck unstressing the stressing part of the login servers?
I am pretty shure that they would have been able to stress test the account management/registration site a week, or a few days, before the opening of open beta. And not only doing the stresstest they would have had a "working" site when open beta starts.
Just announce a time when the registration site would be opened, and *poff* you got thousands after thousands refreshing the site before the announced time.
They are running a pretty unnecessary tight shedule here.

World of Warcraft Registration problem was that the splash page, after the installation was done linked to a page that didnt work, however there was a post on the first page informing users where they can register, and it went perfect.

They knew they would get hammered when posting a news item telling everyone that the registration would open 8.30. They should have been ready.

Yeah well they could take off the image verification flash thing for a few hours to actually let ppl create accounts.
Once they added more bandwidth or servers or whatever they need to make it work put it back in .... cant be that hard really.

I think this is one of the few MMO Beta Launches to not have the account registration working at least.... 1+week prior.
Is it too late to get US open beta key from D2D?
