If you registered before on the main website like a year ago, but never got into Closed Beta, Do you have to register now for Open Beta or is that login valid?

I wouldn't get your hopes up with the servers being up at that time. They're up when they're up.

On a different note, I fired up WH this morning, it asked me to login and then the following appears, is something b0rked?

Lol i remember when that happend. I had like 5 chars that were butt ass naked....got lots of plats and shards for it though

 

[longbow]

Have you got a few hours?

At present? Id say yes

 

[Klonk]

thats what im getting at, we are not customers (yet). it doesnt matter what is going on or who is to blame. yeh its good to rant but it kind of a bit dumb too when we dont have a clue. i suppose it passes the time.

We aren't customers yet?

Put your hand up if you bought a product from EA Mythic :kissit:

Ofc we are customers, most of us anyway. Once you buy something that is part product, part service, you expect to get what you paid for.

And yes, it's "only" been a few hours late, but if you post a specific time, lots of people will be disappointed if their promise remains unfulfilled a few hours later. Rule number one (or thereabouts anyway) in customer relations is: never make a promise to a customer that you can't keep. My 2 øre, anyway.

 

[knightyc]

lol is everyone trying now its slowly loading something to register

Put it this way they were catching so much flack from the beta testers of DAoC, they shut the forums down because they couldn't man up to the highly justified criticism.

It took them far too long to improve.

It was blatantly obvious how things were going to be at release of DAoC, but I hung in there until March 2002 (hung in there due to all my old friends and fellow beta testers on Excaliber server), basically living in hope, before finally giving up in disgust and going Stateside.

Quite a lot followed me over once I was able to reassure them about the huge difference in server performance and game playability there (obviously connecting across the Pond on dialup at the time, as you can imagine, was a bit of an unknown quantity - but it was actually far better for gaming than trying to connect to Paris).

Some of the issues later, were apparently rather epic /fail, but thankfully I wasn't around to be on the receiving end.

 

[Tauron753]

Gah, I barely slept cause I was too excited.
I hate GOA.

Nobody can tell you because they don't have accounts.

I turned mine on earlier. It updated then asked for login information.

 

[Xrystofer]

my chars were inactive due to vacations so when i got back they were untouched..... i just had to wait for two weeks because i couldnt play

 

[Raven]

its easy to pass critisism when we have no clue whats going on. i dont think for one minute this was intended. its test not live, you should be grateful youre on beta and treat it as such. we are not here to make critisism as we are not remotely well informed enough to do so. stop whinging like babies it will get fixed sure enough. how do you know this delay in registration wasnt part of a stress test for go-live?

GOA have always been piss poor before, a lot of people, myself included are willing to give them a second chance, hoping they have learnt from past mistakes. It was a mistake to make the home page using flash but that's not really an issue because the only time it will be used really is to pay subs (assuming you don't have auto-renew on) so its not a massive issue. The fact that they have ditched their native France is a good sign that they are willing to put a bit of effort in this time around.

At the end of the day its still beta, you can't expect everything to work straight away.

 

[knightyc]

damn it went back to main page :'(

 

[ian_heaps]

stop u from owning me for a couple of weeks atleast

If I had a collectors edition and wanted that early access I'd be worried about things actually working on the one day extra I get in to play..

 

[Peridon]

In this dark hour, may our thoughts be with those who still have active accounts with failcom

 

[knightyc]

Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning

I just get a (mostly) black page when loading that, bar some minor graphics in the borders.

 

[undivied]

I dont think there was a europe closed beta, all the stuff we saw after NDA was just stuff GOA noobs were post on the internet to make it look like there was an closed beta
