Uh. They're turning the server off on Friday.

First, closing P99 in an attempt to force people onto beta, is ludicrous.

Personally I don't mind them shutting down the server to get some additional testers. They will see a spike in testers. I just don't think doing it over a holiday weekend has added benefit. Generally the server would see an increase due to casual players jumping online but I don't see those casual players sticking around to test beta so they could do this shut down anytime and get the same results. Now they're just kind of saying, oh well, to the casual population who aren't the regular power gamers and also probably don't nerd rage should a bug pop up and keep them from pixels.
