Servers can't handle all the people at the moment?

We were all suppose to get in on Aug 7th, the Devs are kind enough to some Founders in early and push the 7th date up. Which is good news for everyone since that means those without Founders can get into Beta earlier too.

I think that's this too.. but a friend of mine in the beta told me that there are 800\1000 players online at the time.. i know that probably they don't already have up and running a server capable of hold up and running 50000 players, but come on.. 800\1000 sounds low.

Just curious, but where have you been the last week?
They been letting in founders at a rate of 1-2000 each day for the last week or so.
We will all get in eventually, just have patience.

cause its like this...

Launch day...

Person1: OMG! THIS SUCKS! I TOOK 3 DAYS OFF!
Person2: FFS! THE LOAD QUE IS INSANE!
Person3: THIS GAME SUCKS!!!!

So, instead of putting the full weight of everybody behind it you let a few in at a time. Never know, maybe next week they let in everyone early at once just because its going so well. And just for full information, its CLOSED BETA and in less then two weeks its OPEN BETA!!! as the game isn't even fully gold yet so PGI do not need everyone except for their descretion.

They do, on the advertised date listed on the founder's package

They are gradually increasing the load the servers can handle, so they can only add people in batches. Those batches are apaprantly only being sent to Founder's customers, and they even plan to have all of us founders in earlier than the advertised date.

you can't really complain that you haven't gotten in early yet when the date listed on the founder's pack is Aug 7

There's plenty of games for you to play until 7th Aug. you have like Asteroids, Pacman, Minesweeper, you even have Solitaire.


Just please, read what's in front of you, All founders will get into the beta on 7th Aug.
Like people said, the Devs are being kind enough to give away daily 1k keys to both founders and non-founders, if you didn't get in, bad luck, there's always tomorrow, and the day after, and the day forward till 7th.

It's amazing how beta's have gone from a rare luxury for some outside users to test a game to almost a demanded free demo....

Just a thought :)

Maybe because some people (*cough*publishers*cough*) realised their games suck horribly and only way to make profits is to not give out any demo and have people buy blindly.

Sadly people (just do we don't go with the usual "kids" remkark XD), think that "pay = get".

Really, really sad no one wants to support Devs anymore (generally speaking, thank God there's some expections).
