public live going!

Position in queue: 7707 -.-

[LawL]

I got in no problem.

[brisk]

i got in the queue at first, but then it just stopped and now I can't connect at all. you'd think after the year or so quake live has been in pirvate beta that they'd be ready for the demand...

[temz]

yeah

[4days]

Position in queue: 5326

hope they change the look of the website before they get out of beta. what they've got now looks like the sort of crap mazda would produce.

irc says there are 18000'ish in the queue.

[temz]

shit!

Position in queue: 26045 after re-login

[LawL]

[DRuM]

I was in the queue, then I pressed my backbutton and found I was in and ready to replay my placement match. Now I find myself:

Position in queue: 23076

However, while I was in, I did see I have an award, lol.

[Fender]

HOW DO I BACKFLIP!:?!?

[Dark Metal]

No fucking way am I even going to try playing that shit tonight.

[Grandpa Stu]

damn. i was in earlier but only got to play for 5 minutes before i had to go run an errand...now that i'm back i'm #35xxx in the queueeueueueue. not like it matters though. when i was in earlier all the server listings would error out. took like 10 minutes to get into a game even though i was in ql.

[DRuM]

Ah well, it's all over the qlive and esreality forums, everyone with the same queueing problems. John Carmack's nervous tic has probably gone into overdrive by now.

[Tsakali]

lol, and here I was thinking since I already have an account I'd be in playing within minutes.

fail!

[DRuM]

Well, position 23076 went down to 0 in less than an hour and now I can finally play the placement match. Didn't take long at all. Have to go to bed though so it'll wait.

Anyone else log in with their closed beta username and PW? I'm getting a blank screen.
