Featuring a brand new map. Lets partake.
For an added bonus, gauntlet me and change any members icon to whatever you'd like for a month, as long as it doesn't violate TOS. My power is yours to abuse, kinda like in Highlander.

Why would you be bitter that not many people are playing a closed beta test of a 10 year old game?

Interesting - they scheduled it during their daily user peak hours. See Marty's post from last nite in Site News.

OK, some basic maths...Please add and correct me if wrong or congratulate me if correct so I know.
So 3 to 5 PM (your EST) is 1500- 1700hrs, now take off your figure (EST = GMT-5)... so converted to GMT it is scheduled for 1000-1400 GMT on the 7th
Shit. If I take of my time difference GMT - 10 it will be
midnight here, early morning of Wednesday the 7th. Am I right?
Now look, I have my broken foot and all, but I'd love to join and if I have too I will get up at midnight to partake.
Please someone confirm my thinking/maths on this one

The time really doesn't work for me. DooMer, could you have your assistant give me a ring so we can try to pencil in another time for this?

At the peak of the test there was just over 2,000 people playing, pretty good for a closed beta
