Personal note
Today is the seventh of September 2008. GOA has promised two things on this day:
* Open Beta servers launched simultaniously with North American servers
* Account pages brought online
Ever since GOA and Mythic started this joint venture, both parts have been very clear on the importance on equal (not identical hehe) treatment. GOA brought the EU servers online around 17:00 CET, roughly an hour and a half after Mythic opened theirs. Looking at this, while attempting to remain unbiased (not so easy, as I'm sure you'd agree!), I understand your disappointment. However, taking into account that Mythic, not GOA, are the developers of WAR and that normally - like WoW for instance - MMOs are launched and tested in the US months before Europe, I honestly don't think we've done that bad of a job with bringing the beta servers online.
To the account pages. Well, that's another story. They've been down or not working very well for most of the day. Sorry, about that.
On to the real issue, and the most important cause for people's 'strong emotions' today. Communication. For most of the day, official communication has been scarce. Being a Community Manager for WAR Europe, this clearly fall back to me personally. I don't want to be defensive and try to dodge blame or anything. I recognise that I've disappointed many of you today by not keeping you continuously updated on what's been going on. I accept this critique and offer no defense. I've done my best under what has been very demanding circumstances and I am constantly attempting to better myself and help you in whichever way I can.
