I noticed on the boards and in the chat rooms basically to schools of thought… 1st one being hey... it’s the 1st day things are meant to go wrong give a couple three days and things will smooth out… 2nd being hey I’m the consumer I paid my hard earned money to play the 1st day not to be apart of beta test 4…. Well I think I’m in that gray area. I’ve been apart of a couple betas for online games going back to Ultima Online. I can understand back than having this issue with launch day because it was a brave new world…. But now it’s kind of becoming a standard affair. As a beta tester (as I was with this one as well) you expect problems because it comes with the territory…. It’s our job to “stress out” the system. As a consumer though regardless if it’s an mmorpg or not when it is shipped and you have paid should you not be able to play?? <Gets off soapbox> What do you guys think? [/quote]
