Rift a massively multiplayer online game is currently in it's open beta phase, with it's headstart program starting on the 24th Feb. Unfortunately for those players wishing to participate, or even play when the game goes live (if a solution isn't found) but use BT Broadband may find themselves having extreme difficulties between the hours of 16:00 and 23:00 (ish)
On day one of the open beta hundreds of participants were reporting extreme latency problems and an unplayable game. With ping times in the 100,000+ ms range. However those problems appeared to rectify themselves at 23:00.
Day 2, and the same problems are apparent despite numerous complaints of both the game's official forums and the BT care forums. People are wondering if this again is going to fix itself at 23:00, my bet is on yes it will!
