Hello there, aspiring pilots of gigantic robots built not only to smash each other to Oblivion but also to boost your ego. Piranha Games have announced that the Open Beta of Mechwarrior Online, said to commence today, will be pushed back indefinably due to concerns over instability.

While annoying for some, the developers are herewith addressing the fears of the community itself, so you might want to sit down again in case you jumped up, grabbed the trusty Pitchfork and where just about to smoke Piranha Games out of their studio. They are doing this for your long-term enjoyment.

Paul Iyone, Lead Designer of MWO wrote that:

‘We agree that the game's current state of stability is not allowing us to get the latest experience across to new and veteran players alike. This is a short push back on the date and will depend on the stability and playability of the build.’

The game is currently undergoing testing on balance, stability and the overall strength of the servers to accommodate the hundreds of Gamers that want to get hands on experience with a leviathan of steel.
