Closed Beta Message

Every time I was not part of closed beta I got a different message than what I get now. Right now unless they have changed things you will get to the log in screen. When you enter in your password you are taken to the page where you see the training room server. Clicking on the training room server then about thirty seconds later you get the following message. Lost connection to DB server.

In the past I got the following message which I think is far superior. The message is as best as I can remember. Sorry but the training room is closed for the beta testing of issue (insert number). Your account has not be flagged as part of the closed beta test. Sorry for the inconvenience. Now if the message we get is something like this it would be better.

This way someone that just reactivated their account and their account would normally be allowed to log on to the training room they might think that something is radically wrong with the test server unless they have been keeping up to date about the game. I suggest that they use the message that I earlier said that I normally got when I was not part of the closed beta.

Normally, we would be able to get in even if it was closed, to use the Character Generator. However, since the generator is a huge part of the new Issue being tested, I think that may be why we're not getting in this time. :/ But I agree, a note about it being closed would be nice.

I believe a dev posted that they are testing a queuing system so that in the future you won't get locked out of a busy server, you'll just get put into a queue. As part of this, they tightened up the way the test server locks out so we no longer get access to the character creator (*sob!*). I'm sure they'll clean up that message eventually. Right now they must be more concerned with just getting the more important aspects working correctly.

It never occurred to you that one of the things being tested during this closed beta is a new message which obviously isn't working yet.
