Is it time to stick a fork in the MGO beta?

StarJet | April 21, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 
Remember how the update download of MGO wasn't going very well? Well, now it seems the whole beta isn't going very well. Most probably this is also some kinda after-effect of the download crisis. The MGO official site says that the beta is postponed and that the new starting date is TBA.
We would like to thank all players for their keen interest in taking part in the beta test.
However, we regret to inform you that due to extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe, we have been unable to run the service to the level we expected.
As a temporary measure, we will be deferring the start of the US public beta test until we are able to stabilize our server.
We would like to apologize for all inconveniences as well as confusion caused.

We would like to add that due to the above reasons, we will be making the following changes to the schedule:
1) Starting date: TBA. We will be making another announcement on 22/4/2008 23:00(PDT)
2) Beta Test closure: This will now be on 11/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT) rather than 06/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT)

      Better to find out they're not prepared for the traffic now than on June 12th.

        That's a good point really, and it is kinda why they released a beta

    Well shit...seeing as my DVD hasn't arrived in my mail yet, I can't say I'm disappointed in this much. Ah well, more Warhawk/ Vegas 2 time for me.

        I know, that was a selfish comment, if I was in your boat (like many others that already have MGO installed) I would've been pulling my hair out and cursing every english and spanish word known to man...but I'd rather have that than to experience the "First weeks of Warhawk" all over again.

    I always wonder how they fail to understand the amount of traffic you get when you offer a highly anticipated game for free in all the major regions of the world. Is the result obvious only to me?
