Otherwise, I could have just waited and watched, noticed the poor handling of the issues, and opted to go with a different game, which in retrospect, probably would have been a better idea.
Longer open beta with level cap would have left few still playing after the weekend and done with cap. No cap and no save of char would have been much less people.

They did the best thing to test for stress, longer does not mean better
