If you’re one of those Metal Gear fanatics who made all necessary arrangements to play the famous online version, you might have recently noticed that it’s not possible to login and actually do that. Why? You’re not Japanese, that’s why.[more]

If you go and stare at Konami’s official Japanese website, you’ll see that they delayed releasing the MGO beta in all places of the world which are not Japan – we’re experiencing technical problems bla bla bla ... you know the song – they have some server difficulties over there, due to massive demand. Okeydokey. When will they have fixed it? Unknown. Undated. It’s in the stars. But, as a gesture of reconciliation, it seems that the beta period will last 5 days longer (till May 11).

Here’s the official announcement, if you’re really interested in such stuff:

“IMPORTANT NOTICE for all
      METAL GEAR ONLINE PREMIERE BETA players

      We would like to thank all players for their keen interest in taking part in the beta test. However, we regret to inform you that due to extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe, we have been unable to run the service to the level we expected. As a temporary measure, we will be deferring the start of the US public beta test until we are able to stabilize our server.

      We would like to apologize for all inconveniences as well as confusion caused. We would like to add that due to the above reasons, we will be making the following changes to the schedule:

      1) Starting date: TBA. We will be making another announcement on 22/4/2008 23:00(PDT)
      2) Beta Test closure: This will now be on 11/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT) rather than 06/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT)

      IMPORTANT: Please note that your voucher code will only be valid up until 05/06/2008, so please make sure to register them by then.”
