The announcements were a bit ambiguous.

Has Freedom been fully released? Or has only the VIP Head Start been released?



Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

The announcements didn't look a bit ambiguous to me.

Remember VIP Headstart = final beta testing pass. Or maybe a GAMMA testing pass. Basically everything is up and running for real. But they want to keep the population limited in some way because things might still go wrong.

I'm seeing a limited population right now? Holy Server Queue, Batman! I don't know if the servers can handle any more players. Most of them are grayed out red with wait queues whenever I login to the game.


NOR-RAD - 50 Rad/Rad/Elec Defender - Nikki Stryker - 50 DM/SR/Weap Scrapper - Iron Marauder - 50 Eng/Eng/Pow Blaster
Lion of Might - 50 SS/Inv/Eng Tanker - Darling Nikkee - 50 (+3) StJ/WP/Eng Brute - Ice Giant Kurg - 36 Ice/Storm Controller

The server status display is one of the known issues they have to work out. It's not displaying server load accurately.

Indeed, server reads as "red lining" and when I get in, it's a ghost town all over the place.

Ah, okay. That explains why each server's status changes so arbitrarily from moment to moment.

What normally comes after beta is release candidate.

Those aren't real numbers. They are faking server load in order to make the servers sort differently. It's the workaround for the scroll bar bug.

This little post mentions nothing of the VIP Head Start. Just the release of Issue 21: Convergence. Hence my confusion.
