Crazyness.

Good thing I registered earlier.

Sweet! Just got my registration successful page. Good luck to everyone else, off to look for the new Halo 3 trailer.

Edit: Not that it makes much of a difference, but I was using Firefox. I think it's just luck, keep giving it a try or wait 30 mins or so for it to calm down. You'll get through eventually.

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

How did you get that page? Did you get the white page and let it sit or did that page come up after sign up?

BTW just let the pages load even though they take 3 years to do so.
You will eventually get through the entire registration process.
And if not, then wait ten minutes and try again.
Or just get on with your life.
Your choice obviously...

Yeah, I had to leave the house before the registration opened :-( I got back and it was open, got excited and tried to enter the registration page.

I'm getting what is being referred to in some other places as the "White Screen of Death"

What is going on? I looked at the source code of the page, and the code for the registration is in there, it's just not showing up on the page.

Ideas?

  • 12.04.2006 5:50 PM PDT

Well I kept refreshing the white page for awhile, but after getting frustrated I started over the registration process. On the third time it finally got through to the Registration successful page.

  • 12.04.2006 5:50 PM PDT

About Time !!!! I just kept refreshing nad going back on the browers to finally get the "thank you for registering screen" right after the page with all the regristration info. thank god. LAggy and busy server.

  • 12.04.2006 5:51 PM PDT

I am sure KPaul is watching the TV for the commercial. He will probably be back on later.

That would be dumb...only having one "perspective" of gamer test it...obviously they want all perspectives due to the fact it is a PUBLIC beta. If they just wanted gamer nerd...I think they could find plenty within Bungie.

Can the title update include new achievements and avatar awards?

Posted by: Face7Eater
It's going to include new weapons, new maps, new storyline, new characters, it's getting changed from FPS to an MMO, and biggest of all, it's now going to be based on a famous Saturday morning cartoon.

WE JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS. answer us KP.

Very Funny Post

Jesus tap dancing Christ, will everyone please stop trying to register at the same time. It just makes it so no one can register. Its like 5 people trying to go through a revolving door, they all get stuck. So just take a breather and watch Monday Night Football or something.

Why does it require that I have a cell phone? I don't have a cell phone. Is it okay to just type that I don't have one and move on?

Sorry to add do the dumbness of this post... but
I registered, got through the name, address, etc...
signed into passport... then....
BLAM
white screen of death.

Any way to confirm I've registered? I'm not trying to piss Bungie off by registering 15 times (since the site explicitly states ONE entry per person)

You haven't registered if you dont come to a page that looks like this:
http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l12/sitinthehall/halo3.jpg

The white page is from too many people on the server. The webmaster obviously forgot to take nesscary precautions and write a propper error message. Instead they stuck everyone wondering!
