As you've noticed, account registration and Open Beta key authentication is currently unavailable. We took down the servers in order to be able to process the queues more efficiently and will bring them back online as soon we're finished with this work.
We are currently letting people in wave after wave. At the time of this post we have 5154 players on the European servers. As you surely understand and as has been explained by Mark Jacobs and other developer earlier, it is important not to swamp the starting zones completely.

Why can't they post this on our boards as well!

Account registration and key authentication servers are indeed down due to maintanance, as confirmed by our news. We are working hard to bring these services to you as soon as possible.

Hang on, just realised something - what has account creation got to do with the number of players on the servers? That's controlled by the login servers, not by account creation.......
