Metal Gear Online  - Image 1 


Here's some important information for all you Metal Gear fiends out there. Konami Online's Brandon Laurino recently decided to pre-empt Metal Gear Mondays by answering some questions and concerns related to the Metal Gear Online Beta and teasing people about the Gunmetal Grey Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle.

Perhaps the most pressing issue that Laurino addressed was the fiasco about the invalid beta codes for Metal Gear Online. Konami acknowledged the problem and is working on doing good by everyone, as Laurino notes:

To start, we have been getting reports that some of you are receiving partial digit UPVC’s Metal Gear Online Beta on the “Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2″ DVD inserts. We are aware of this issue and are working hard to remedy. If you’ve been affected by this issue, please contact us at http://www.konami-data.com/support/. Please be sure to include your partial code, and any other pertinent details (like a return email address, etc). We thank you for your patience.


Laurino also took the time to explain the whole process of registering for the MGO beta which, he reminds people, will only be playable once April 21 rolls around, in addition to answering some of the frequently asked questions related to the Beta.

What about MGS4, you might be wondering? Well, it's only a small tidbit, but one that you might want to know about. Related to a question about pre-ordering the Gunmetal Grey MGS4 PS3 Bundle, Laurino mentioned that they would be revealing more information about the hardware bundle very soon.

As anticipation for the game comes to a climax, we suppose Konami is trying to add more excitement into the mix. Keep checking QJ for more updates, and feel free to check out the short list of MGO Beta questions answered by Laurino at the source link.

 » pat yourself on the back eclipze you arsehole!!!

dont listen to this monkey, it isnt working as it should, some peoplehave been trying for 2 days to get an id, me, id rather do anything else than sit in front of the pc reading this every 5 mins!!
"due to a period of inactivity this page has been deleted".

   Re: Eclipze_ - 2008-04-19
 » First off

sonofken don't call me a damn monkey before I come through the computer screen and beat your ass.

Just like I said it IS working, and by "it" I mean the website. Before the website would'nt even load and now its working, so obviously theres improvement.

And its annoying as hell hearing people complain about it every damn second. The konami people are fixing it as your speaking, and complaining wont make it go any faster.

If I could get my ID then you can too. If you don't want to waste your time then don't try and sign-up untill the website is working you dumbass (its as simple as that).

Eclipze_ is right. Konami ID website was working yesterday. Some of you might have visited the site at the wrong time, missing your chance. I got my Konami ID and Game ID yesterday as well.

 » no it doesn't

I've been trying for twenty minutes to register, each time, usually (but not always) straight after entering my D.O.B i'll click next and it will say "due to a period of inactivity this page has been deleted".

I understand why konami want people to register so they can track the users etc, but surely they could have foreseen this issue beforehand?


   Re: Lethal_NFS - 2008-04-19
 » Eclipze is full of *****

I have been trying to get the ID for 2 days and I still cant get one. Ill try right now........Oh look it didnt work....

   Re: Eclipze_ - 2008-04-19
 » Lethal can't read

Look at my post up there ^^^

You got on the site just fine didn't you? Yup you did, the only problem is signing-up (which all around is getting faster + working better).

I had about 5 people do it yesterday PLUS I made one for my brother and it worked.

So stop PMSing and keep trying.

   Re: Rave_L337 - 2008-04-19
 » I just did it

After much coaxing, I managed to make mine just now :p

just it took like 2 and a half days >__>

   Re: Lethal_NFS - 2008-04-20
 » Eclipze is a retard

I dont give a rats ass if I can get in to the site. It wont let me create the ID which is the problem you tool. 3rd day and still can get it to work. Which means the site isnt working.

   Re: Eclipze_ - 2008-04-20
 » tool?

so everyone who got the site to work is a tool?

Just to tell you I got on the site yesterday and signed up ANOTHER person to the site again. All I can tell you is try it at night and get it to work.

Its funny how your mad tho. Already 3 people on this post signed up plus the 6 on my buddy list. Like I said before "stop PMSing and keep trying."

   Re: Rave_L337 - 2008-04-20
 » Sighned up a Friend

Yah in all reality it seems to rely on what time of day it is. I signed myself up and a friend as well at around 8:21 p.m., but trying again like this morning I got locked out as usual.

 » hate Konami

Well, I just tried again, got to enter all my details, then it said "the system is very busy now, please try again later"

Aaarghhh!

Why the hell do you have to enter so much goddamn information? Address, phone number, why the hell do they need this for christ sake?

Konami as a company are really starting to piss me off, first a crappy next gen PES, now this bull***** just to play a BETA game, what the hell next?



   Re: Eclipze_ - 2008-04-20
 » ??

Your entering non-required information. You don't need the phone number and a couple of other things.

those that are complaining, i would like to see you run a company like konami and do it aswell as they can. for those that are having problems signing up here is a tempory workaround http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=mgs&thread.id=255479&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
