There will be lots of people that move onto other games as they are released and this is part of gaming. However it saddens me that ooc knowledge would hinder potential fun rp experience in game between characters. Nevertheless its your choice.

That's why there is SO many subscribers. It's going to be a very successful MMO, I feel it. That's something I like regardless of the minor problems. I've literally had no beta this weekend since I got over 9000 at 3pm CST Friday but I'm not in a state of enrage. I'm laughing with my FC in vent about it and having a good time. Hell, I'm joking about being in Valhalla or the void with Lightning having tea with a few other folks. (just a silly joke) So I mean... I DO hope they extend the beta to get these situations under control because of them cropping up. We'll see. Either way, I just hope next week the 3102 and over 9000 is resolved. That's the big test.

And considering how smooth phase 3 was, once they fix that error it should be smooth sailing again. Writing off the game or acting like SE is outright horrible for not being able to fix it immediately is just...well, I won't say the word here

The beta forums look beyond ridiculous and childish right now. Please refrain from bringing that behavior over to these forums.

Also, for added food for thought: XIV has apparently shattered the MMO record for most concurrent online users at once in an open beta. So many people online at once is bound to cause these problems, and it's a good thing that the issue is coming up in a stress test rather than launch. http://www.gamingunion.net/news/final-fantasy-xiv-smashes-open-beta-record--9634.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+gamingunion+%28Gaming+Union%29

Yep.  Bugs that really screw a large number of people or are annoying at the time tend to end up as fond memories.  There were numerous, game-breaking bugs in the Mists of Pandaria Beta, like turtles that would disconnect you once they attacked you, and one particularly "memorable" bug that would cause you to immediately disconnect and be unable to log back in if you got near any other players.  Like, any of them.

Cities became ghost towns as people fled from each other, terrified that even being close to another character would mean the end of their Beta experience!  Even visiting a neutral auction house or vendor out in the wild was a risk, because you didn't know if someone else would stumble on you. 

  <== that was me for most of that build.

Even in a live game, you'll occasionally have craziness.  There was a group of exploiters using a bug to crash entire servers at one point, and bragging about it on a 3rd party website.  The forums exploded with rage (which was what the exploiters wanted) and Blizzard couldn't figure out how to stop them for several hours.  But eventually they got it fixed, and got everything back up and running.  And there's an entire Wikipedia page on the Corrupted Blood Incident.  

This too shall pass.  It sucks, and I'm sad I can't play my character anymore, but we'll get through it.
