Where do you get 5 GMT from? Do you have any concept of timezones and how they work?

Woo, new update - apparently registration will be up at 3pm UK time.
(4pm CET, I get mixed up with all these times, so please correct me if I am wrong!)
Lets just hope it doesnt break anymore. I'm not all that bothered about playing straight away, I just want to patch up for tonight - so I can sit in the server queue =)

I can accept this. Things breakdown, it happens and even if we plan for everything we can think of, sods law dictates what can go wrong will go wrong.
I'm sure they're working their ass's off to correct the problems and get everyone online to enjoy the game. There's a lot of preasure there and I'm as dissapointed as everyone else. Been waiting for this game for quite some time now but to be fair, it's Beta. This is the time for them to work out the bugs so that when the CE and ER editions go live it's as smooth as butter
I too would generally accept this. It must be difficult, but(!):
"Many of you criticised the decision to bring the account pages online the same day as the beta began but this was not the cause of the problems."
Indeed this was not the cause of the problems - but it would have nipped the problems in the bud, had the account server been brought online before beta. There's no point in decorating a beautiful house if you're not going to put a door on it.
"Been waiting for this game for quite some time now but to be fair, it's Beta."
Strictly speaking, Open Beta is there to test server capacities and [possibly] catch the odd stray bug that wasn't squashed during Closed Beta.
But all this is neither here nor there. I doubt the Open Beta will be accesible as intended at least by mid to end of the week. I wouldn't mind seeing my tenner though seeing as Open Beta is what people essentially paid for.
so they deside to put it up when they can stress test it again well done GOA dont they relise that 3:00 gmt is when all the kids will be home to log so we will see another crash at least they dident deside to put it up at 6gmt other wise all adults and kids would bring down the server and get a repeat of yesterday
i took a damn week from work to play this damn you goa

ive been a victim of GoAs incompetance on many occasions during my time on daoc, like so many others here.
This is different. Tell me if im wrong here plze. Money, Resorces, Staff, Promotion, Amount of Beta testing - is in the end courtesy of EA Games. They decide basically who much money they get to make this game. A deadline has been set for release, i sense a rushed atmosphere !
So, GoA get Xxxx cash from Mythic/EA. "You have done this before guys, do it again, here is a £5,000,000 budget, spend it well !" GoA do just that, sumbit to EA what they intend and bingo, here we are now. The fuckwit bigwigs at EA had indeed deemed the situation viable - they had the final say, not goa on how things were/are run.
Instead of saying, " hey heres double your budget - get the best servers and staff on the market guys ! No no no, the fucktards at EA play it safe - recent "flops" like Lotr & AoC may have made them weary of investing extra Xxx millions. Ok warhammer has a large following, but so has Lotr, and we expect WAR to be bigger than that.
I imagine the actual staff at GoA are pissed off they could not do more, but with limited resorces, must be very fustrating. Non disclosure agreements will ofc make sure no pissed off employees whistle blow...apart from the german dude, /salute.
So like so many other things in life, I blame EA GAMES.
challenge everything

I expect that Mythic (remember this was all agreed before EA bought them) offered a contract to run the European Side of the business. GoA won the contract and agreed that if Mythic paid them x amount or gave them x share of the revenue or what have you they would run the Euro servers. There would be certain stipulations written in to the contract that if GoA didn't fulfill certain obligations they would be liable to a fine for breach of contract.
Basically, yes it is GoA's fault and No it has nothing to do with EA.
