Entirely possible. Now it's 3:00 CST/6:00 EST so we'll see how many times it gets pushed back before they're actually able to get it out. Just a couple hours ago there were over 3 thousand ppl just on the forums and now the forums are down completely, so my money is on the demand being much higher than they expected and everything is getting clogged up.
is this the open beta start?
No this is just the alpha phase. Beta starts the 30th or 31st

Most people don't know the link is up. Better hurry before it bombs out.
I just started downloading it. I was refreshing the page on my phone to see when it was up and it kept showing the same message. Then I just randomly checked the site on my computer and it was ready. Now I'm like 2 hours behind >:(
And it's moving at a blistering rate of what seems to be at least 100 kb/sec.....ugh
But I guess that's what I should have been expecting
I'd be on this right away but I'm traveling out if the country until Thursday night. I'll be loading it up and checking it out on Friday morning, jet lag permitting. Hoping by then server overloads etc will have calmed down.
Not sure if people were able to connect last night or not. I tried a couple times and it kept saying it couldnt find a server and when clicking on one would say it was full even though it was showing 10/40.
I still cant help feeling that this is a big cash in on the DayZ meme. I know this was in development longer than DayZ, but with them changing things up and monetizing everything... just feels wrong.
I wasn't able to log in last night since I didn't get it downloaded until after I had planned on going to bed. I played for 20 mins or so before I went to work and a little during my lunch break, and Fuzzball you're definitely right about it barely being playable; the game crashes regularly.
It seems like it'll be enjoyable enough once I can get some guns. Someone found me almost right off the bat and tried to kill me with his flashlight (fail! I backed away and ran circles around him hitting him and killed him after about 6 hits) right after that encounter I literally spent 3 minutes or so hitting 1 zombie with a flashlight repeatedly before he killed me, so the difference between how much damage a player can take vs. how much a zed can take is enormous. After I created another player I found a hammer and some other supplies in a grocery store before the game crashed, so I'm waiting to get off work and see what kind of damage I can do with that and if it'll help me survive long enough to find a gun.
We definitely need to get a group together, that way when some dickhole tries to attack us with his flashlight we can own him. Rate of success increases exponentially.
Another thing, I'm not sure if they are locking off part of the Colorado map for Alpha, but I definitely hit an invisible wall in almost the exact middle of the map.

Yeah, they've said they will restrict the map initially to about 30% to keep folks from wandering around too much. They are really trying to test server capacity and loot spawns etc. It's alpha TESTING, so that doesn't mean it's necessarily going to be a great play experience, FTR.
Well.....I finally got home, cranked it up, and spawned back in the grocery store where I got disconnected........to a group of 3 players......who murdered me....fml
if you're able to log in at all.
Ya i'm going to have to throw in the towel and start calling foul on this game full force.
I've been trying to be nice and give it a shot, but this is a complete pile of crap. It's just too 'gamey' and cheap feeling, and if they're too damn lazy to create their own ToS or at least proof read it then they're too lazy or not comptentent enough to make the Everest sized mountain of changes or upgrades that would make this come across as something not cheap.
If you want guns and zombies wait till December for teh stand alone version of DayZ.
PASS ON THIS GAME.
naw i wont ask for a refund because i'm still going to keep following this. I'd love to be proven wrong and want to see if it can happen, but i have friends and folks from the site asking my opinion on the game. So i posted my opinion. It's a cheap knock off and doesnt deserve any extra money.
