You’ve undoubtedly heard about the server issues with the Konami ID website for the Metal Gear Online Beta. Basically, you need to sign up to use the Konami tracking system for stats and collecting other data for the beta test. Problem is, the servers have been getting so hammered, the site has been up and down, making it difficult to register or login.

It took me the better part of 4 days trying to setup an account before I was finally able to get through. Even after the servers came back up, I got error messages trying to do anything on the site.

This has me very concerned about how the beta will actually work. If you can’t log in to the Konami servers to setup or connect to your account, how are you supposed to play online? The whole Komani ID debacle is just as bad as friend codes and shouldn’t even be used. If it has to be, they need to make sure those servers are up and lightning fast, which they aren’t. Once Monday comes around and everyone tries to log on and play the Beta, I’m sure it’s going to bring their servers down even further. We’ll keep you posted, but it doesn’t look good.
