This is the readiness setting I am in. Unlike the U.S. military I have had an opportunity to call DEFCON 1. That was when RF Online – Philippines had to block foreign IPs upon the request of the game designer CCR. Total chaos erupted on the boards and I had to stay online until the wee hours of the morning closing threads and banning people.
So why am I on DEFCON 3? Well, it’s two days from the start of Perfect World’s Closed Beta and already signs point to a very emotional outburst from the boards. Either from those who cannot join the Closed Beta or from those who haven’t received clients and accounts that were promised them. Sadly enough it is already a given that this will happen. It has happened before on the RF Boards and it will happen in the PW Boards.
The other outbreaks I expect is when Open Beta starts, which will probably be another DEFCON 3, and when Official Launch is approaching, which always merits DEFCON 2 at the minimum.
Thankfully I don’t expect a DEFCON 1 situation for the PW Boards.

Looks like that would be one hell of a situation there Horo. Good luck!

Thanks!
I hope that there’s no situation, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared for one.

Getting in to CBT isn’t really that important, IMHO. I think it’s better for people to wait for OB (Open Beta)…

“and I had to stay online until the wee hours of the morning closing threads and banning people.”
That made me LOL.
I’ve received my account but I’m too lazy to download/play the game. A two month tease is way too much, tell that to the girl who runs/owns LUG. (I’m assuming it’s a girl because no guy would tease that long XP)
*bans you for calling me an ape*

@ Caym
Who said you were one of the apes? You’re not a mod.
