This is getting beyond a joke now, I've been patient so far but this is really pushing my limit.

They don't even have the servers to cope with demand with a server cap of 1000 and an estimated 200k people waiting to get in ...

They are trickling new people in so that they don't wreck the servers, how long will it take to trickle 200k people in?!

I'm now starting to think ahead to the head start, can they be sure that it's going to work then even though there will be less people I have absolutely no confidence in GOA

Just back home, can't login to the patcher ffs. Got a welcome email and everything...brick wall after brick wall

Lots in the same boat I reckon.

Excellent. Been at work all day and reading up on the classes during lunch.

Looks sort of like DAoC rehashed. Quite looking forward to giving it a shot.

 

[sniffy]

Think I entered the key around 3.30, no email yet. Anyone in the same boat?

Once you input the key you're ready to go. You only get an e-mail to activate the actual account. Well that's what happened last night for me.

They've change the process to an async process (presumably batch processing)

My farcical timeline:

Sunday 9:30 setup account wait on verification
Monday 12:00 Get Verification email but link does not work.
Monday 2pm Try ading my beta key via add code link, all goes well

As we speak cannot log into either my account or the game. Get various error messages that mean nothing, even the good old "you already logged it".

Total Joke, can I trust these people with a monthly sub? So far I am highly doubting it...

 

[TheBrooder]

What a pity that a potentially amazing game is marred by incompetence

 

[Clairvoyant]

Our guild has 1 lucky member in playing.

The rest are all stuck waiting for e-mail or getting regged.

On the enter the OB code screen there is no button to accept the details I've entered?! Anyone got any ideas?

Tell you what though if they do **** up head start that really will start riots.
tbh if they mess the head start up and i dont get my 4 days i will move straight over to the US servers.
Or just give up all together tbh

 

[elitetrick]

quite frankly...sod it.
i had not pre ordered the game as i was unsure whether i liked the look of the gameplay, so when they announced a free open beta i was ecstatic, i could try it out for free for a week, brilliant. but after trying over 100 times to register yesterday for over 14 hours i finally got to the stage where they sent an email, got the email within an hour and clicked the link and im validated...but that doesnt mean i cna log in to the site or the game, i cant enter my beta code, it wont let me, and it seems even if i did id have to wait till after the beta in a queue to get on a server? no thanks.
after this horrific handling of what was supposed to be my trial of the game iv given my open beta key to a friend who has pre ordered it but didnt get an auto open beta invite (that is also stupid, hes paid but dusnt get to play? gg goa).
So he can have the open beta and i wont be giving a penny to the warhammer developers, as frankly, they dont deserve any of my money.
Time to turn my WoW month trial into a paying account.

my bad didn't fill it in right

 

[Werewolf]

I was thinking about this earlier, and it occurred to me it's almost as bad as when UO had their Age of Shadows launch with the Malas area opening up (new housing), except this time I wasn't stupid enough to stay up all night for the server up, and so far it's only been a day...(IIRC UO was practically unplayable for about 3-4 days).

 

[Wyrdo]

I just don't understand why it's so hard for them to just duplicate the US setup that Mythic already have in place and that's working fine?

Just got my email through but get an authentication error when I try to log onto game with

Lucky this has happened in the beta really.It should give them lots of lessons to learn before retail launch.Should...

 

[House]

Cool its working,

First annoying thing, Mouse doesnt lock to the game window, a pet hate of mine as I dual screen.

Other than that lets see how it goes.

 

[Tombstone]

They've certainly made a right cockup of things for the open beta folks. Having said that, I will still be playing at release

Well only a week to go until heastart, you'd hope they would have learnt.
