Um, guys. I understand you're disappointed and wanted to play this weekend, but... remember that this is a beta test. Beta, as in "not production quality" and test, as in "the purpose is for them to be able to test the game". It sucks that there was a snafu with the codes getting sent out and that not everyone is able to get on right now, but let's act like adults here. When something blows up like this that affects a ton of people it's going to take a while to get through everyone. No company's customer service department has enough reps to talk to a large percentage of their customers all at once. Part of the point of having a test is to make sure an issue this widespread doesn't actually happen when the game launches.

Just remember, we can't even play our 1.0 characters this weekend, there'll probably be another test soon, and all of this is getting wiped anyway. This is all just minor stuff in the grand scheme of things; the true Demon's Souls starts... err, I mean the real ARR starts in a couple months and it going to be awesome.
