Please refrain from posting any new threads or message regarding the server problems. We are aware it is happening and we are on the case. We are working as hard as we can to get this resolved as quickly as possible.
Please be patient and realize this is a beta. We have just made some seriously significant improvements to our DB cluster, our Master Server, our Chat Server, and our patching process. These were all the systems that were or soon would be stressed by volume. Believe it or not, these changes happened very quickly for the amount of work that had to be done. Most of this stuff is transparent to the end user, except when bugs like this creep up. These upgrades all began after the 0.1.30 patch (see what I mean by quickly).
I apologize for the downtime but these things happening during the beta gives us a better opportunity to avoid them once the game is retail.
Thanks everyone.
