    Interesting read. So less then 10K people got to order based on some id numbers floating around and the servers are crashing already?

    Such a huge load those 9000 some people put on them, I would have thought that the great AV programmers would be able to handle that load. Oh yeah forgot they never tested out the billing system or sign-on servers with an actual stress test. Sort of like the game stress test with what 3K players?

    Firing up the popcorn maker, gonna be a great show.

    yes less than 10k people were successful in pre-ordering.  That doesn't meant that less than 10k tried, just that around 10k succeeded.  Who knows how many were actually hammering the servers.

    That Beta link was out in less then 2 minutes, their servers has been flooded since last night.

    They said their server load was 20 times what they had expected.

    lol, back for more? Hows your pre-order. You enjoying being one of those 10k that managed to get through?

     

    Oh........ thats right you were bragging about getting your account setup and getting ready for the pre-order you just didn't know that which is why it was so funny lol.

     

    And sorry, you really think everyone trying to pre-order managed to pre-order? 9000 people managed to pre-order, your probably right on that, but what you fail to realize is there are far more trying to pre-order lol.

     

    Way to put your foot in your mouth yet again. You're what 2 posts in a row now lol. Keep em comming, Laughing is good for the heart lol.

    He said that they gave the link to the beta testers only so they could test it.

    It was leaked and therefore did not pass the test and they are increasing capacity, I can't see a problem with this?  Surely thats what testing is for?

    To be honest I expect it will go down when it goes live as well, if France Telecom who own their own national telephone infrastructure couldn't prevent hiccups during the WAR sign up I doubt Aventurine will be able to.

    LOL

    Oh and way more than 9000 people put the load on the server...stop trolling?  WAYYY more than that were trying to access the site....even people from Asia that werent allowed to preordered.

  • joshwajoshwa Member Posts: 118

    There was no mention of the beta players testing anything to do with the pre-order process until now. 

    We were told it was to give beta a head start on pre-order nothing more. This is typical Tasos spin cycle damage control just making up stuff to make the foul up appear less pitiful. We all know there nothing that guy says that can be believed, if you bite on anything Tasos says then please,  stop eating the lead paint chips.

    So Act II starts tomorrow perhaps...The Pre-Order from the Black Lagoon, or maybe Bride of Pre-Order, or even better Monty Python's Search for the Pre-Order Grail...

    Those are account IDs not preorder IDs. You get that ID when you create an account, which does not mean that you managed to preorder.

    Sig so that badges don't eat my posts.

    Since the pre-order link leaked out, our system has been overrun by players from all over the world trying to pre-order at the same time.

    Even though areas like Asia are excluded from this release, they remain major contributors to the heavy server load. This load is many times above our highest estimate and as a result the system has been very slow. We’ve been correcting the few issues that have surfaced while in the process of increasing our web server capacity-yet again.

    We apologize for these problems, we have people working on this around the clock and should have it fixed by tomorrow. We're disabling the pre-orders until then. Even though many persistent people have managed to pre-order successfully, it's just not a good user experience.

     

     

    Lol I would be oe of those persistent  people to pre orde successfully .thanks to fellow mmorpgians.

    Diodnt know bloody asians were after t too , they are the ones causing server loads
