PPK:
No need to worry, mate. Mark [lodle] Wake[of]theBunT  and said he was already taking care of the server hosting problems for you people in Australia. And you can be sure that they will, specially Wake, who runs a GE:S clan.

Beta software can be unstable and could cause crashes.

Need I say why I'm weary? I hate unnecessary crap to deal with. If I wanted that, I'd deal with my ISP with a happier attitude. I notice an issue with the GameArena server, as the gameround constantly restarts every 5 minutes.

Sean [Baron]:
Key word there is CAN BE. It's up to developers of said product to release a stable build. The notice is put that there, because it's not a final product and thus, unexpected things can happen, like crashes

I can assure you though that we've extensively tested our build, and crashes have been dealt with.

But, nobody is telling you to play the BETA 3 when it's released, if you don't want to that's fine. But don't complain to us that because it's not final, that your not going to play it because of your own doubts of BETA's. Thats not our problem.

I haven't experienced crashes so far, only but the open process of hl2.exe, but you said yourself it might have been fixed in Beta 3.

Never said it was your problem. I wasn't complaining either. I never said I wasn't going to play it. I merely stated that I am weary of betas and that the name containing beta can easily be misunderstood at a first glance. yes, very narrow viewed of me but by now you should be able to understand my point of view.

Ugh, a moniker is a title for something. And my sentence is clearly referring to the "Beta" tag as a moniker. You were passing a blanket (and wildly incorrect) assumption about our product just because of it's title. I hope we can convince you otherwise to host a server with Beta 3.

And for the record, you can experience just as much heart ache and crashes and shit with the FULL RELEASE Valve products you buy in the stores. Just because its Final doesn't mean it's bug free, that is never the truth, nothing is ever totally bug free.
