Ok 10 hours to try and activate SI is taking the fuckin piss. GOA sort your shit out.

P.S Dont tell me its don't tell me it's down to the weather, imminent war, server overload, the state of the economy, IT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP.

Your right, it has nothing to do with impatient people super-spamming the refresh buttons on the GOA website causing the servers to send information to thousands of computers at once.

And perish the thought that you might try playing the original client while you wait for GOA to quote-unquote sort its shit out

Why would I want to play the original client when I have forked out for SI?

As for people spamming the activate button, what else is there left to try? Please don't defend this wank company and its pitiful attempts to appease us. They have seriously underestimated the interest in the game.

Im finding this registration ridiculous. Tried for 3hrs this morning ad have been trying for another two this evening. I must have reloaded the accounts page over 400 times now and still nothing. GOA surely this is not the way you want to piss your customers off. What about all those new accounts, do you really want to piss new players off, up until now I have been relatively happy about the work done by GOA but this is enough to make even the most placid and understanding person want to punch anyone standing near them. Looks like ill have to spend all night at work trying to activate this bloody thing. As for Kemors post stating that everything was working fine this morning on the registration page, get real three hours with no success is hardly acceptable in any ones terms.
Can we not get a mirrored site up and running or something?
The page was coming up fairly quickly this morning, now it wont even load properly, this is totally unacceptable.

This is horrible!!!!!!!!

Why oh why oh why did they not predict this would happen?

And now the entire camelot-europe server is down and has been for a couple of hours!

I can forgive GOA for the patch being a bit late - it seemed outwith their control and only delayed the thing for a few hours. But this account registration is completely ridiculous!

www.camelot-europe.com is unavailable for now. We are working as fast as possible on a solution.

Stay tuned

And as for the 80limit to registration thats the bad part nothing much else it should have been at very least 150

And why the f**k not?
They know how many copies of SI Wanadoo shipped out. There is absolutely no excuse for having as low a limit as 80. Eighty, ffs. That's ridiculous. 160 is still absolutely nothing in terms of numbers in such a situation, but even then it would be twice as fast to clear overall...

i feel sorry for all those people new to the game, at least i can still play the original.

LOL GOA's history of patching etc isnt very nice reading. Lets face it they are a 2 bit company trying to do everything on the cheap.

My thoughts exactly. GOA can't even be arsed to acknowledge there are problems, according to Kemor everything is running smoothly..........yeah right.


GOA you are the computer equivalent of British Leyland.

Having read the system requirements on the box, GOA/Mythic should have added


"even if you exceed these specs, we do not have any equipment capable of allowing you to register. We cannot be held responsible as we are complete fuckwits".

The point is that GOA should have been prepared for the huge amount of people trying to access the subscription page simultaneously. Dunno, but how can they justify selling a product which can't be used immediately? Would be like me saying to the shop owner: just gimme a copy now, I'll come pay you tomorrow...

i totally agree GOA coulnt organise a orgy in a brothel but reading peeps on these boards spending hours pressing refresh on the subs page when they could be leveling on the original account,going out or whatever seems a bit sad

No iam no fan of GOA but stressing about something you have no control over is mad...and anyway if you dont like it cancel your subs...ohhhh you cant :}
