Having had the beta client installed since saturday night I find it really annoying that i have only been able to play for a few hours thanks to the logon server.
This doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, and it's pretty much the worst piece of advertising that a game could have so close to release. (especially the debacle on sunday.)
Can any of the closed beta testers tell me if this is just a blip from CM or if this is the norm, It would help me decide on what seems to be a nice looking game.

Ok after browsing the official forums I see that it is a software problem with the login server. I also see that they are adding hardware to 'solve' the problem.
Seem to be putting the cart before the horse! Or maybe someone a bit more technically inclined could say how adding hardware (not replacing, merely expanding existing hardware) could solve a software issue?
CCR seem to have a nice game, it just seems that Codemasters arn't too interested in it (they have enough pre-orders to go into phase 3, but other than that they don't seem in too much of a rush [nothing on the main site about the problems, instead they put up something about previews/reviews in the press])
And yes I am aware of what it means to be in Beta, but to leave such a critical system in the state its in for several days, (i know WoW had similar trouble, but rfo doesn't have scarily rabid fanboys who would subscribe even if it was only a screensaver), even the cost of replacing it outright would be outweighed by the positive influence it would have (never underestimate what good/great customer service can do).
People keep saying "it's only beta", but what they must fail to realise is that this game is releasing in what? 6 or 7 days? I understand bad things happen to login servers before games are released, but what I don't understand is why they would not realise this problem and extend testing and push the release date back. I will not be buying this game, but people who do will not be very happy when these problems are arrising in a product they are paying for.
But maybe I am wrong and they will pull some magical fix out of their ass in time......
Alot of the problems are very minor and they are just adding fixes to them now, the login server was jus tan unlucky turn of events and things like this happen to many games that are in BETA testing.
The official release date has also not been announced yet and im sure Codemasters will only release the game when they feel that they are ready to do so. Im sure by retail things will be sorted out.

The problems cannot be that minor, it's taken them nearly a week to fix them. And if they are minor and it still took them this long, thats not a good sign for retail.
And about the release date not being decided...... I thought it was a pretty definate thing that it is being shipped on the 21st. EBgames says it is the 21st and they are usually pretty reliable when it comes to release dates this close to a planned release date, but maybe they are wrong.
