I was able to get to the character creation screen earlier today, but the server went down while creating my character. Since then the couple times I've tried to log back in (including just now) I've been back to this same issue of the game not responding when I try to log in.

Combine that with the fact that most of the day today the forums have been broken and my faith in this product is going south faster than a goose on crack.

I'd love to beta test, but what's the point when my only contribution can based on the log-in game? Give my slot in this phase of the prelude to someone else, as I'm at a point now where I'm starting to really hate the game. I'll check back in a future phase.
