Did Konami not see this coming? The beta for Metal Gear Online has overloaded the servers hosting it. Too many worldwide users has forced the company to delay the beta period for US users. There is a positive part to this mayhem, straight from Konami themselves:
We would like to add that due to the above reasons, we will be making the following changes to the schedule:
1) Start date: Planned for 04/25/2008 24:00(PDT). While the start is planned for the weekend, it may change due to unforseen circumstances.
3) Beta Test closure: This will now be on 05/11/2008 at 24:00(PDT) rather than 05/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT)
So, a few more days wait, though the disclaimer that it could be pushed further back due to “unforseen circumstances” is pretty funny. Circumstances like servers not being able to handle a bunch of users online at one? Hmm.
