i had a feeling about this lol might wanna wait till tomorrow to flick the switch on, as they'll be getting hit with major prime time #s , would hate to see the crap they'd get for the server falling apart twice in the same day
just my opinion
Yeah, I'm definitely waiting til tomorrow. If I've learned anything about testing, it's not to play the first day. Everyone hoards their place on the server the first day and the server gets bogged down by so many people logging in all at once. $10 it'll happen again the day GA launches.
In any case, glad to hear the devs are concerned about their fans enough to post here.
Thanks for everyone's patience today. Of course, one of the purposes of any beta is to shake out scale issues. For the period our servers were up today, the servers (i.e., the software) were doing well, but we were experiencing some network issues related to some new (high-end) networking hardware that we just put in place ahead of the beta (preparing for an influx of users). We're working through those issues and will notify everyone when the servers are up using GASERVERSTATUS on Twitter. Even once the servers are up, we might have a few more issues to sort through -- but we will! That's why we test and we are very excited to expose everyone to the game. Overall, our pre-order volume has been well above expectations so we had to accelerate some infrastructure additions. Thanks again everyone and I hope to see many of you on the battlefield soon.
Thanks for the response Stew! At least you guys were prepared; Just a minor hiccup with the networking is all
I'm sure it will be a great beta once the servers are up. You guys have worked hard on this so far. I'm wondering if the servers will still be on the normal downtime disconnect ( 1am EST). 3 hours of extra play added would be nice, if possible ^_^
Currently playing: Star Wars: The Old Republic, World of Warcraft, Dota 2, League of Legends
Waiting on: Blade & Soul, Guild Wars 2, Tera, Kingdoms of Amular, Firefall
Bah servers still not up and its almost my bed time =(
Why dont companies hove a queue or a staged login, only let say 1000 people online and crank it up every few hours to see how the servers perform rather than opening the fload gates.. but then again people will be complaining about queues so....
