Konami verschiebt die Metal Gear Online Beta in den USA und Europa auf unbestimmte Zeit. Dies geht aus einem Statement hervor, dass auf der offiziellen MGO Homepage Veröffentlicht wurde.
Laut Konami war man nicht auf die sehr hohe nachfrage vorbereitet.
[quote]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)
IMPORTANT: Please note that your voucher code will only be valid up until 05/06/2008, so please make sure to register them by then. [/quote]
