Mutable Realms announced today that due to the overwhelming response to their open beta program they will be issuing the beta accounts at a slower pace than they originally planned on. They will now be randomly selecting a group of testers each day starting January 1, 2005, allowing them to better adapt their single world server system. Their official announcement is below:

everybody who signs up will get to play. all this means is that most of us will have to wait until the 2nd, or the 3rd or 4th until our accounts are activated. i think it's a good idea. i'd rather be able to test it without crazy lag caused by 40,000 people trying to log on at once it's just a dream [we need a worldwide genocide/ a planetary suicide/ and when the whole damned world is dead/ there''s your f***ing peace] |

I guess their deal with Fileplanet paid off better than they predicted. Perhaps this game won't do so bad after all. |

Going to be a big server with 60,000 people. As long as the lag isn't too bad it should be pretty cool with everyone playing on a single server. ---------------------------- Desolation Guild Website ---------------------------

If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing. |

"Going to be a big server with 60,000 people." So you think just because they have 60,000 beta apps (half of which are prolly like a year or more old already) that they will have 60,000 people actually playing? please.. get real.. Wait until the people actually login and see this joke of a game. Just like Ryzom... hey ryzom had loads of beta tester signups too! where are they all now? ohh ya.. playing EQ2. If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing. |

Just a note for accuracy: they didnt start with Beta 2 sign ups until 7/10/04. By my count, that's 5.75 months...not a year, or more, old. Now there are others out there that have had their applications up for over a year, and they STILL don't have the number that have even downloaded the client on FP alone. So if it's a bad indication for Wish, then heaven help those other guys because their starting pool is even smaller. |

It's probably the whiner in me, but I'm a little upset that they aren't just going in the order that people applied. The way things usually work for me, I'll be the last person chosen and there will be problems getting the game to work. :) And I applied in the week of July 10th when they first started taking applications. *fingers crossed*

No, I doubt that 60,000 people will be ever on at the same time. I doubt even a quarter of that will ever be on at the same time. And yeah I bet a lot of people signed up months ago and will never play the game. But even if only 10% of that number play that will be more then the average 2,000-3,000 per server then other games. And even if the game is a 'joke,' I'll just go back to playing EQ2. Not like I lost anything or paid money. ---------------------------- Desolation Guild Website ---------------------------

I'll be amazingly impressed if they accomplish even a 3rd of that online at the same time.

I liked MMOs better when gamers didn't play them, and just geeks did. |

I dunno, im interested in trying this game out. "looks" like it has potential. we've got nothing to lose by trying beta. I liked Horizons and Shadowbane and this game seems to take what was good about each and smash it together. i'll judge the game after i've played it. A.K.A.

what new features? It has no new features. its just a player versus everything game. But without the EVERYTHING you can find in eq2 or warcraft or even older pve games like AC1. """So if it's a bad indication for Wish, then heaven help those other guys because their starting pool is even smaller.""" I dont care what anyone says. Having only 30,000 downloads for a free testing of a new mmorpg on fileplanet is VERY bad. Someone is shaking in their boots somewhere because if thats the only amount of interest they can get from people to play for FREE than whats going to happen when it comes time to actually start CHARGING people to play? If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing. |

Sorry, you cant find non repeatable, real time live effecting quests in those games. You can not kill Nagefen and have him dead forever in those games. You can not have monuments built in your honor in those games. You can't actually beat back the bad guys and have them dead forever and change write history yourself in those games.
Actually it's 38,000 downloads (not to mention the torrent mirrors the Stratics has been advertising)....in slightly more than 8 days....for a beta 2. That's 4,750 downloads a day. I dont think anyone is shaking in thier boots just yet for 4k+ downloads a day for a beta 2 client. There are some games out there that dont even have over 35k signed up for their beta....a final beta, let alone a beta 2 product. |
