So the MAG beta started this morning at 8 a.m.
NOT. Here we are almost 9 hours after when they said they'd have it up. The servers have been up and down all day according to the forums. I got up early to have a half hour play time before school. Didn't happen. Apparently they were 2 hours late just booting the servers. Then they were up and down after that.
Now they are supposedly "up and fixed", but everyone is getting disconnected. Only about 1% of the people have gotten to play it. And they only got to do so sporadically amongst many disconnects.
This is a bad first impression Zipper. Especially when you (and some of the closed beta players) hyped it up as "no lag".
Let this be a lesson to future game developers (possibly myself neh?). Even if you set a deadline, get up 4 hours early. If you get it working early, you've just made some fans very happy with you. If you just manage to get it done on time, then at least they're not angry. And if you are still two hours late, at least you can look them in the eye and say you worked on it for hours now and you're going to keep working. All of those outcomes are better than telling them your alarm didn't go off (or saying nothing at all as Zipper opted to do).
