Mass interest in Experimental is going to last a week or 10 days max then go back to the normal level of interest.

You (or anyone) really don't expect BI to pay for another 30 servers, (?*?*?*)   - just so everyone can right now log in when they feel like it (and 40+ servers wouldn't be enough anyway this week). But in 2 weeks from today 10 servers will be plenty. You'll all be bored playing an experimental "buggy" game & no one will put in reports any more, except the experienced experimental players - Most will give up complaining, and everyone will drop it.

Experimental is "experimental" - that's what it's FOR - BI now have 400 players non-stop experimenting, 24 hours a day.
At the moment they don't WANT more. 400 players on line all the time, constantly replaced,  is plenty enough to get ALL the major bug reports to BI, starting from hour 1 and coming in non-stop for the next  300+ hours (ie the next 2 weeks).
So let them deal with that work. Why would they want the same bugs reported 4 times faster or the same bugs reported 4 times more often?
Do you think they don't already HAVE enough bug reports to act on this week?

You are asking them to deal with 1600 testers every day instead of 400 a day?  Be sane.

 

please note - You (we) have not been waiting months for <Experimental 0.6>. The 0.6 game that players want on line is NOT yet out, it is being tested. The less people who try to log in to experimental, the better and faster that process will go.
It would have been GREAT in fact if BI had issued log-in codes to the habitual testers (everyone knows who they are) - then BI would get good reports with details, no half-baked stuff, and no complaints from a bunch of 10000 players who just want to mess around but have no intention of being actually helpful.

They dont need to buy new servers. They could use some of the dozens of official stable servers that people dont play.
