THIS IS A LIVE QUOTE FROM TASOS: "Tasos 2:30 PM We’ll open up sales of a limited number of copies of Darkfall tonight European time Tuesday March 3d. We will try to repeat this every weekday until the extreme demand slows down and we’re able to leave the shop open 24/7. To answer the questions of how you can sell out a digital download, we’re throttling the number of new players in the world to limit queue times and protect the user experience. Server optimizations first and adding new servers in time are the steps we are taking to improve this experience. From our launch experience, the extreme demand caused the account management infrastructure to lag and often time out. The hammering of the system by the users made things worse. Repeated attempts by users led to charge failures because of bank security rules. Incorrect billing information also led to failed transactions. We expect the account management system to face extreme demand today as well. In order to try to avoid the issues we describe above, users who refresh before timing out, open multiple windows or tabs, and hammer the system will be temporarily blocked. Please do not refresh unless you have timed out or you will lose your place in the queue. We'll post when sales open. If the copies we have available for today sell out, we will repeat this process again tomorrow. Thank you, The Darkfall Team"
WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY TIMEOUT? |

Any one of the generic errors thrown up by your browser such as "Server not responding" or "The page can not be displayed". Basically he's saying as long as your browser is trying, not to hit refresh. |

If the loading bar in the bottom right of your browser (internet explorer) is not moving, leave it alone.
