servers running ok during the afternoon, tonight they crashed...
upon reboot all your chars are gone bye bye...
then their boards crash...
Consider that this should have been a production release with a bit of balancing, well, ouch on first impressions; which is sad as the genre really does need a few more options in the market place.

they go LIVE next week...
so this beta is basically a "production" test I would suspect (and it was not all that crowded on the server I "had" characters on hehe)
well, fingers crossed its a "tripped over the power cord" event...

No it isn't. They aren't giving the game away for free when it launches. It's a stress test designed to exceed the operational parameters of their hardware. To "Stress" it. This is the first issue they've had that I can remember. I'm not worried.

Whole point in the beta IMO...Overload of players, you're going to have server issues. I'm confident they will get the issue resolved though

He's not overreacting. He is simply stating a mild opinion. Overreacting would have been "LOL RIFT DOWN! WOW KILLER LOILOLOLOLOL!"
Honestly, none of us know how serious the issue is. And no I'm sorry "It's supposed to do that in beta" doesn't cover it because you have no idea the scope of what they are testing and expecting. For all we know this was completely unexpected and they are all freaking out over the issue trying to figure out the best possibly solution before launch.
It is, however, more plausible that they can just limit the amount of people per server and bam the band aid is in affect.

All of my characters seem to be firmly back in place.
At least I didn't spend 10 minutes trying to talk to an NPC who didn't respond. Then discover 2 mins later that the NPCs had all disappeared. And then gotten a warning that the servers were going down in 15 mins to be booted off in less than 5 mins.
Repeatedly.
During open beta.
Reports of Rift's death have been greatly exaggerated.
