[COMMUNITY TEAM] Beta Phase 3 Failure for 1.0 players

[hideka]

It would be illogical to send the entire 1.0 playerbase all at once for the first test. Can you imagine if everyone hit the servers at the same time? That's what bad MMO launches feel like.

My advice is to go to bed and relax and think about something else, because this phase is going to last at least a month so you'll have plenty of opportunity to break things. Whether or not that beta key comes is out of your hands, so there's no use stressing out about it.

yea, anxiety kind of PREVENTS SLEEP.

also if im not mistaken, yoshi said they would be stress testing the full capabilities of their servers this phase. so yes i can see them sending everyone from 1.0 their invites on day 1.

Yes, but giving access to every 1.0 player at once could potentially destroy their servers.

I think they're waiting to check the beta flag on all 1.0 accounts until they have the servers with their characters available.

^This.

Nothing was promised this weekend. Nothing at all. Re-read your email. Calm down, and wait patiently until you get another email from SE.

What the hell man.

I mean, seriously, you could wait and see what happens at the actual launch time, rather than making such an overdramatic huff about whether you will get your code instantly or not.

PS3 testing is a big part of this stage in b3, I am sure they want everyone they can to log in at the same time, in order to stress test the servers. That most likely means pc users will be delayed until ps3 access is ready.

Which shouldn't be too far away based on the notes.
