RPS for example has been given 15,000 keys (yes fifteen THOUSAND) they're really ramping up their stress test this test will be larger than many games...

Enjoy your 2 days beta test.

In the whole history of MMO games every single game (and developer) failed stress tests. I am wondering how it will look this time. Even during previous weekends there were times when I had to wait for over an hour in a queue and quite common crashes made it very annoying (last weekend they have done something and the game kept crashing resulting in ~1h of playing and ~1h of waiting in queue).

The last beta weekend will last 4 days but not everyone will be able to play for the whole 4 days. They will be giving access to the beta to users in stages adding more people every 24h. So you might end up being able to play for only 24h which, considering the size of the client, is not nearly enough. That's why I recommend grabbing more than one key and creating multiple accounts to increase your chance for getting into beta right at the beginning.

They're targeting 25th to 28th (Thanksgiving weekend here in the US) and based on last weekend's stress test you'll get most of the allotted time to play.

Okay, I apologize. Enjoy your 4 day beta testing... Hahha. :D Not worth the bandwidth.

So, they give you a timed demo, you do their beta testing for free and you still feel privileged?

Boy, I should join marketing ...

I was going to try it again then saw the ridiculous download size it's at now and played DX:HR instead

It'll be 7 days of testing for me. And from what I played even 3 days of free gameplay was worth the bandwidth.

Well you do get to play the game for free so there are benefits on both sides. And to be honest for a vast majority of people it is a way to play for free rather than a proper beta testing.

Why did you apply then? You just took a spot from someone who might have been really interested.

That wasnt even a factor for me, i just wasnt interested but if I had been that would have killed it for me aswell, im lucky if I get 400-500 kbs and i mean really damn lucky, average is 250-300kbs
