I had a good impression of today's play in Rift. Wasn't down long for me and nothing lost - just made people wonder when the downed servers were showing zero characters and you knew you had some there. Respawns are very fast so despite the crowd I didn't have to wait long to kill even the named quest mobs. It's nothing earth-shattering but I think I'll enjoy it a few months or more.

The latest beta, or all of them, very could have been occurring in test environments assembled for just this purpose each time. Wiping the slate clean was obviously intended - whether due to a new issue they found with a recent build or infrastructure change, who's to say. They probably tinker with things there while their production environment is tested and tweaked given the results.
Besides, whether a beta run occurs a month from release or an hour away, it shouldn't be a surprise to see things get wiped. It's what testing is for.

This sounds like a good day years after release for any Mythic product.
So it will be fine.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

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.
Blame the developers for this problem in the community. Most Open Betas for MMO's released nowadays are a direct representation of the final product.

I am of the mindset that it's better that it crashes and burns this week, so it doesn't crash and burn next week.
