If it doesn't allow pre-load for most of us... (Destiny)

...I guess it's make sense.

What is the beta about anyway? Isn't it about server load? Guess how to guarantee an extraordinary server load. Everyone downloading it at the exact same time. Helps them prevent a SimCity-like day-1 fiasco on the game itself, I guess.

Either way, even if I'm allowed to pre-load on the 22nd, I won't, since there is a scheduled powergrid maintenance that will last the whole of the 22nd... 3rd-world country's infrastructure ftw!


Sever load testing is one of reasons
