There is video in the OP of the same stuff you are seeing now. How are you just noticing this?

Because I haven't checked the OP since it only contained a single image?

[canocha]

Dammit!

Managed to get the screen to login... after that "Server is too busy" xD

[NinjaBoyLao]

Oh my there are at least 20 RL friends who will be happy when i tell them about this.

I don't really played the original and since my friends will definitely play this, I'll give this game a try.

[Mandoric]

I got past the login screen!

Now I'm on the cybercafe referral code screen.

[gashikunFLCL]

I'm in!
Edit: pass login screen, can't connect to the server. =____=

[Balehead]

Mine got past the login window and into HackShield Pro installation.

[Hasemo]

Finally launch the game.
Wait for all the loadings to finish.
"Can't connect to server"

[Cronee]

Finally launch the game. Wait for all the loadings to finish. "Can't connect to server"

Same thing here. Kind of annoying but whatever, I'll just keep trying.

[canocha]

Happened to me too...I guess the servers went down!

[EDarkness]

Hmmm...this game looks interesting, but when I go to the links there's nothing there. I take it they're having trouble keeping the servers up?

[Hasemo]

Facebook update:

The game server has been shut down to ALL PLAYERS now for a technical maintenance until further notice. We will make another announcement when it is back up again. Thank you all for your kind understanding and support.

Facebook update:

sigh, hope it isn't too long.

[QisTopTier]

Facebook update:

Ah darn it I just woke up.

[rouken]

one more update

We have heard your feedback and yes, we WILL amend our contest rules and regulations to make up for the lack of game time today due to the technical difficulties faced by many of you. We will also look into making it up to our players as we are aware that many of you have devoted your time and efforts to join us today. Right now, our #1 PRIORITY is getting the game servers up and running for you to enjoy. Our team is working around the clock to ensure that this is happening. We will return with more updates when we have them, and official amendments to our contests and promos will be made once we have stabilised the game servers. Thank you all once again for your support and patience.

[Maedhros]

Just woke up too. That's pretty shitty, I thought you guys would already be playing.

BTW: MaedhrosBR - Maedhros - Archer -> Beastmaster

[DigitalRicket]

one more update

Link to official facebook page plz

[Kinitari]

This feels really nostalgic. I am pretty sure RO1 did this to me once too.

[DJIzana]

I stayed up an hour later than I should've wanting to play the beta.

Oh well... hopefully will be up when I'm home from work. :(

[Teletraan1]

I tried to stay up to play this last night and im glad I didnt lol.

Does anyone have any experience with this game from the closed beta? How are healers for leveling? I usually play a healer class in most MMOs but they are usually a chore to level. You never die but neither do the mobs in a speedy fashion. Any suggestions on classes?

[Miutsu]

I'm so listening to RO soundtrack right now >_>

[Sora_N]

I'm glad I went to sleep, but I forgot to open the torrent. I guess I'll nap when I get home after I turn on utorrent. I still want to play this, but have work so that sucks.

[Kitoro]

Just out of curiosity, and I haven't read the last 8 pages of this thread, but is the open beta officially open to US players in full English? Or are you guys playing an Asian build of sorts?

It's Engrish. (Lots of skill names are poorly translated.)

It is open to North American users though but servers are located in Singapore, so you might have to deal with lag issues.

[Kitoro]

Ahh , good to know. Thanks!

[gashikunFLCL]

UPDATE.

Dear Asgardians, We are currently still working on the login and server issues and are striving to reopen RO2 for play by 1200 hrs (+8GMT) of 28th Dec. As mentioned earlier, official amendments will be made to our contests and promos once we have fully stabilised the game servers, and have the game reopened to the public. Thank you for your time and effort to join us for OBT. See you in game soon!

[loki_demi]

Sooo 1200 instead of 0000 means that's 12 hours from now? Or is my math wrong?

[Enron]

Is the game client available via torrent? all the d/l links are mega-slow.

[Arpeggio23]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is the game in English for North American players?

[Calidor]

Sooo 1200 instead of 0000 means that's 12 hours from now? Or is my math wrong?

yup: 11h30m to go

[Sora_N]

I believe the game is in English, but I'm not 100% sure. Haven't even downloaded the client yet. Pretty sure it is since the site is entirely in English.

[Raide]

Arrrggh. Just finished work, still no RO2 till tomorrow now. *Grumble grumble*

[Ashodin]

So basically we have to wait until TONIGHT again? What the shit?

[dragonflys545]

Failed open beta... I stay up late and woke up early. WTFIX THIS SHIT!

[DJIzana]

So basically we have to wait until TONIGHT again? What the shit?

As someone mentioned earlier, the server downtime is very akin to RO1.

As long as its working when I'm home at 6pm PST or not long after, or by the weekend, I'll be happy.

[Rubius]

So, from what I read Blizzard did the launch of RO2? Seem like its Diablo 3 all over again.

[Hix]

welp

Looks like I won't get on til Saturday evening then, though at the rate this (client) torrent is going, that would probably have been the case anyway.

EDIT: May as well play around with class skill building in the mean time.

[teddywestside]

but i was able to log on D3 at launch huehue

[TurtleSnatcher]

Guess Im playing more Ragnarok Online today! (Original)

[QisTopTier]

Seeing how they got blown up in people trying to get it I would assume they are rushing to redo all their servers with upgrades.

[Teknoman]

Its strange how no company ever seems to be prepared for server load these days. Isnt it better to be over-prepared than under and adjust as it goes?

[Hasemo]

No, because release (beta start) is when the number of people wanting to enter is the highest and is falling afterward. Buying additional servers for a few days? Waste of money.
Probably something like this.

[Midou]

Yes, this. Obviously the first few hours will have the most amount of players at one time a game will ever see. Though Guild Wars 2 did a decent job for first few hours at its launch, it did go down eventually.

[zkylon]

And a sudden outburst of 700kb/s...go go thepiratebay torrent!

[Ashodin]

Yes, this. Obviously the first few hours will have the most amount of players at one time a game will ever see. Though Guild Wars 2 did a decent job for first few hours at its launch, it did go down eventually.

And only for a couple hours. The only part of Guild Wars 2 that didn't work at launch was the gem store, and that's because it was entirely web-based and probably didn't have multiple of multiples of server farms backing it up.

Don't forget about the Trading Post.
Anyway:

Dear Asgardians, the server is up now for stress test, please kindly try to login game, and help us to do this test. Thank you.

I'm in.

[QisTopTier]

I'm in.
