Talk about an ACTUAL impossible mission.
Mission Impossible 3’s HUNT started at 8:00pm EST. It’s now 9:35, and it’s STILL not up and running.
The site – hunt.missionimpossible.com is not up – and Chat is wonky at best.
Did the admin’s not do a stress test on the game before launch? There were only 120 people in the chat room, and I can’t possibly believe that 120 people crashed a server – considering over 30,000 people signed up for the game.
I find this comparable to the stress test I did for Star Wars Galaxies during their closed beta – The admin’s would tell us in the chat room to all try to log in at once and see how long it took the servers to crash – just so they could figure out the bugs BEFORE the game went live. The only problem is – they are supposed to be live NOW. This should have been taken care of at least a month or 2 ago – either in house or as a closed beta.
But when you (as a company) promise to have a site up and running – especially when there are actual prizes on the line – I find it inexcusable to have this many problems on day one of a game. 1 Hour and 45 minutes into the game, and no one has even see what the screen looks like yet (as far as I know).
I do hope that the admin’s figure out what’s wrong and then fix it, because I like stuff like this, and it would be a shame to see an opportunity like this to go to down the tubes.
