Not only did I get port blocknig errors Connectivity errors, now both my characters are gone. To top it off, the forums are " under maintainence"
This is getting work and worse as I continue to beta the game, the over feeling is that the game is spiraling out of control, changes to server settings, connectivity , cleint patching effectiviness and maintaining content in the game. I will continue to test the game, butI am moving to a pass on this one.

So far everything has been fine, aside from a few moments.
If this is all it takes for you to walk, you better buy some nice shoes if your gonna continue playing mmos
To the caterpillar it is the end of the world, to the master, it is a butterfly.
Seems like my characters are missing too, along with several other people on the forums before they went "under maintanence" ... Probably because something got fucked up and now they don't want to deal with the community about it.
I like this game alot and I am having tons of fun, but I hope this sort of thing does not happen when this game goes live. I already pre-ordered it, and will keep my pre-order.

To be honest, this is the first issue i've ever had with the Rift Beta. I've never had a DC or even a lag spike that wasn't my own. This will be fixed within ten minutes in all likelyhood. If it's more than 45 minutes of downtime i'll be amazed, because it's just been so incredibly smooth since the very begining.
Rift has flaws, no doubt about that. But it's stability, customer support, and maintenence, are not any of them
Lets see, it is the beginning of primetime on the first day of OPEN beta. Possibly, just maybe, a lot of people are hitting their website at once. Could be why they are having a beta. You know, test capacity, that sort of thing.
I have the same problem and as people have stated it's still beta, not to mention that they have more players playing than before.. If you can't see that they stress test and bug fix during beta, you probably shouldn't play beta to begin with.
Personally this is the only problem I've encountered in the game so far and it's really not that terrible.
It's the first prime time of Open Beta! Stress Testing, including intentional adjustment of server settings to stress individual components and test bottlenecks. Pretty common for Open Beta and an important step, so there are no problems at launch.
It sucks, we all want to play, but this is very common and right on schedule, for those who have been in betas before.
It's the first day of open beta, so the servers are getting slammed. I'm sure the characters are still there, but the database with the pfiles on it crashed. When the servers started to crash, everyone went to the forums to complain about it, and the forums crashed. This will get worked out. It's not the ideal start, but it's not surprising. As long as it doesn't happen again on head start/launch day, no worries.

"When it comes to GW2 any game is fair game"
Oh no! I won't be able to grind levels for characters that will be wiped on the 21st! BLASPHEMY.
In the first betas they had very little issues, now they have lots.
ISP in the UK are also blocking the game, BT won't let Rift through because they use big internt packages, so players are screwed.
edit: IPS = ISP sorry
Oh no, they opened BETA to more players than ever and the servers hiccuped!?
WTF were they thinking, it's almost like they were trying to stress test their hardware...what fools.
Uh....yeah...its still in Beta.....yeah...

The data servers are down they have updates on their twitter page.
Best to check for fast response info there.
All characters are in tact.

All die, so die well.
Don't get your panties in a bunch..

Good to see that knee-jerk panic is alive and well.
Chill a bit and try later, dude.
I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!
ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not having any issues.
Playing: Nothing
Looking forward to: Nothing
There's a pill for that

Hi everyone! We know that many of you are concerned about the unexpected outage. We're looking into the issues... http://fb.me/t4ZRZP2j less than 5 seconds ago via Facebook
stryke42 This is NOT a character wipe. It's just the data servers are down. Characters are intact and we're working on it. Thanks! ^Zann 12 minutes ago via CoTweet in reply to stryke42
