Clusterfuck and all, Konami cares. Konami wants you to have a good
Metal Gear Online experience. But before you can have a good
MGO, it would be nice if getting a Konami ID wasn't such a pain in the ass. Well! Konami has streamed-lined its website and made getting an ID somewhat
less of a pain in the ass. Bravo. Now, if they can get their servers up and running when the *planned* Friday Beta kicks off, things would be just grand.

Smash Bros Dojo is dead. Face it. To fill the void, there's this: the Konami ID Dojo. Bringing you all the latest ID clusterfuck news, today's update is quite exciting. No, it's
very exciting. So many people are trying to access the portal site, that Konami's servers are buckling. The
Metal Gear Online teaser site posts this message:
Currently, the extraordinary levels of traffic levels are causing great difficulty for our customers in accessing the page.
In order to solve the problem, we will be carrying out emergency maintenance work on the site from 04/18/2008 at 20:00 (GMT+9h).
During maintenance, the KONAMI ID portal site will be taken down and therefore will be inaccessible.
We would like to apologize for any inconveniences caused.
Just wait until, you know, people start
playing your game! Then those servers will get a good work out. This, this is just a warm-up. The real shit hits the fan June 12th. Can't wait! (Though, we might have to — that is, if the servers get fucked.)
Important Notice [Konami Thanks to all who sent this in!]

Didn't much like the Smash Bros Dojo. Thought it was kinda stupid. Drip-fed, inane PR at its very
worst, even. Nothing wrong with the format itself, though, which is much better suited towards cataloguing a clusterfuck, like the one
Konami have orchestrated
for their Metal Gear Online beta. Latest news from the front: the site itself isn't even working properly, let alone the beta signup process. We've had emails from users reporting that their application's keep pinging out, while my own application hasn't gotten any further than the message you can see above. Not very encouraging, this. If they can't handle some simple password sign-ups, what are they going to do when June 12 comes around?
