The pb3d beta was launched at 8 p.m. as scheduled but there were some problems that I'd like to share with you all, sence we try to be as open as possible.
-Chat room lag- The current chat room is just not powerfull enough for more than 10 users and we ARE seeking another options.
-Download Fiasco- There was an error "to many server requests" when we opened the download. Basically, we had 200 people click download at the same time. We will be releasing at non-peak times from now on to try and alleviate this.
- Game bugs- There were some critical bugs found in the game the opening night which really upsets all the devs, but trust us we are working as hard as we can to try and get something up and running. We wont be releasing any more "questionable" builds because now we see what happens.
-Server down- To protect everyones accounts from corruption we did shut down the server until Monday when we will have a relaunch with an update that will hopefully alleviate all critical bugs.
-Character freezes- We will reset ALL characters so that your characters wont be frozen when you login again. Sorry about this but we think it is the best thing to do.
-Roadmap- The pb3d roadmap for development WILL be released this week, all comments and questions should be directed towards the forums.
...Even after all the troubles we had tonight we still had one comment....
"kkk.. just finished playing the inital release of the beta... and i'm psyched!! You guys are definitely heading in the right direction.. Don't get let down by all the bug reports..

I look forward to wasting more time in pb3d!! :)" -Qwildor
It is honestly comments like those that keep us working and hopefull sometimes. We hope to have a better re-launch in 2 days and look forward to having the servers on 24/7 for testing. Thanks again for all the bug discoverey and we hope you will continue to play paintball in its second truest form, 3d.
