No doubt a lot of us were excited about Metal Gear Online's Gene Expansion which dropped yesterday and a lot of us paid for it so we can enjoy the new features. However, Konami and Kojima Productions stumbled big on this one as the update wreaked havoc on the game in a bad way. Users who ordered the Gene expansion reported paying for it and getting nothing at all. Those who did get what they paid for also suffered as Konami blocked out random IPs to lessen the load on their servers which were clearly under a lot of stress. As a result, all the game's "Survival" mode battles for the weekend were called off. Here's hoping Kojima Productions can do something about this one in a hurry. Related articles:

The only reason this happened is because Konami fails at online. They can produce some of the most triple-A games you'll ever play, but when it comes to online...no. I thought they'd learn from the first time around that they should anticipate the huge amount of users who'd try to download this stuff at once.
But either way it goes, it'll be fixed. Some guys over at GFAQs said they called/emailed Konami Tech Support and got their Credit/Debit Card issues fixed as well as the download finally purchased.

» Fails at online?
Now when you say online thats a pretty open word. I would say that the people managing the website are the ones who fail because that was the only problem. This game IS a AAA title for online, the only thing that needs to be fixed is the Konami website. Now I beileve everyone that had problems and got charged extra have their problems fixed now. They did about a five hour maintenance that fixed all of that (whoever bought it and didn't recieve it now have the expansion). I do agree that they should have prepared for this since the first time it happen during the beta. Its obvious that a ticket only beta would have WAY less people then the full game release. Hopefully they can fix this problem to the point where come the next expansion we wont have a single problem.
