They set up a test for server stability and the like. Yes, we're guinea pigs in this, but perfectly able guinea pigs who can use our own free will to decide whether or not we participate. If this -video game- is something that you feel like you're owed, then you ought to reexamine your life, your priorities, and the things you stress about.
This was never for our benefit, but I'm sure they're happy many of us are enjoying it. I hope that the many people who post on forums demanding that video companies give them free stuff find the means to grow up someday. But I have my doubts it will ever happen.
And no one should whine about pre-ordering or the Annual Pass. You got, and will get precisely the item you paid for upon making that decisions. I see nothing about open betas or guaranteed DIII betas.
Your name and your tone do not adhere to the same philosophy....
OH snap!!!
Second!!
Even if they don't carry over Betamaxed or Overachiever, I'll still have my pretty screenshot with 100%'s~
edit: just now

@BashiokA couple of the servers weren't playing too nice so we've brought them down. You'll likely be seeing a 34200 error.
EDIT: btw, getting error 33 now again
