Overreact much?



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.



It appears it was expected after all. What a surprise, you were wrong.

I was very impressed on how fast they responded to the community to let people know they were working on the issue. And the fact they have stayed with it.

Can I get $15/month for not playing them?

Didn't really have much of a choice did they? I hope it does well I truly do. I like it when people find something they like and is fun. Sometimes I wish that people could experience the same thing I do, inside, everytime I play WoW. I hope that RIft can become...something that is truly a part of you.

Open beta is a chance to test your release day. If they are having problems, it is good they are working it out.

It is sad what has become of the community that they judge game stability based on open beta. Beta is for testing!!

Of course, I'm guilty of it, since I review betas, hehe.

The thing is, they are trying to crash the servers. In fact, the developers issued a challenge TO crash the servers last beta as it was a stresstest. We tried. We failed.

Looks like we are succeeding this time though!

I remember playing when they issued that 'challenge'. I chuckled when I didn't lag at all for the duration. Even did a Death Invasion and tons of pvp, no lag.
