Konami ID Required for Metal Gear Online β

[tommyboy81]

Well I would start complaining to but you guys are doing it for me. So I'm guessing some of you guys didn't get a reply from Konami yet. Sent e-mail around 10 last night. Just hope I get it fixed by the 21st

[Kairav]

I have been on it since 6 hours..............................F***!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

[Idealsupra]

Can anyone who has actually gotten an ID verify what the last page is? I am waiting for the page named :

check.do to load... does that mean it has registered once it finally loads? or are there more steps?

EDIT: bah nevermind....this is pissing me off

[Blu350z]

yeah, this is frustrating me, grrr... such high volume of traffic.

[Blu350z]

i can get up to entering my info and after that i get the error message.

Error

An error has occurred.

Due to a period of inactivity, the page has been deleted.
Please click on the below link to return to the top page.

Wow, great job Konami. It figures with all the Engrish speak on the main page they would have their head up their ass and not be able to have a working site set up for the response they should have predicted for this game.

[RobFord]

phew, all sorted, even after getting my confirmation email it took a few goes till I was able to confirm.

I found that if you leave the page to load totally then it seemed to work better for me.

good luck to you all, see you online.

I don't mean to belabor the obvious, but it is a BETA test.

One should expect some glitches and problems; that's what beta tests are for - to identify trouble spots so that they can fix them.

Granted, Konami really hasn't done so very well on the registration deal.

My guess is that they're going to try and move it to a pay-to-play model, in the spirit of PlanetSide. I don't know how successful such a move would be, especially since the FPS genre is so heavily crowded with quality free-to-play games (CoD4, Halo 3, UT3, et. al.). But it's the only reason I can think of for them not to make use of our PSN IDs as acceptable identification.

Its a service they have been using for a long long time in japan, they finaly thought hey lets roll it out in the states.

I am thinking they might charge for dlc but not actually playing.

I completely understand the MGSO gameplay is a Beta test but a simple registration web site should be pretty easy these days.

they have done this before, and more people reacted to this then what they thought would react to this, based on there own data, and previous experience.

Or someone did not listen to IT again...

I still can't really get the update to work. I don't know how the peer to peer thing and trying to connect to the server is hell. Can anyone help?

[xberserker]

I got mine over a week ago

All I can say is keep trying the P2P. You may find clients to download from eventually....I mean, how long would it take?

Peer to Peer works on this, there is a honor system,
basicly a seed, a person who has 100% of the file
connects to leeches "people who do not have 100%"

The seed gives each leech he connects to a portion
of his upload speed, note that upload speeds are usually
devastatingly lower then download speeds.

But with a high demand (leeches) and a low supply (seeds)
there can be a period to get your turn, since if all the seeds
are already connected to the maximum amount of leeches
they cant give any more.

What can help this.. some of the other people that already have
the patch could perhaps RETURN TO SEED SOME MORE.. but really
waiting may be a good idea, usually the main seed will stick around
and come back to make more seeds if things get too slow.

The main seed would be Konami, they could turn some clients on but
you only do that as it becomes necessary, and that would mean 1 seed
to 5000 clients would tell you its time for the return of the main seed.

So grab a sandwich and watch tv for awhile and check on it in a couple
of hours and see if you got connection do not fray you are in a query,
the client has a number and the tracker will keep track of you unless you
leave the update screen, keep in mind when a seed gets a free slot it should
report it to the tracker, and if the tracker sees you as next slot it will throw
you in.

Seems to be up at the moment though, unless it's just the registration pages.
