Posted on August 27, 2011, Phil Owen The Secret World Beta Signups Delayed
Folks were supposed to be able to sign up for the beta for The Secret World yesterday, but it hasn’t worked out so well so far; technical difficulties abound! Apparently, these technical difficulties are not insignificant, and so they’ve had to push back the beta signups “until further notice,” said notice on the game’s official site.
Due to technical difficulties we have decided to postpone the first phase of the Secret War experience and the beta registration until further notice.
So, yeah, sit tight and be patient. There’s nothing there about delaying the beta itself, so it’s not like this actually matters in the long run.
