1.31 beta open play

[ratatosk]

I gather from the article on the home page that open play of the beta is on some kind of schedule vs. focus play. I tried to add a comment that open play should be available all of the time when focus play was not scheduled, but apparently captcha or whatever you guys use is broken which I suppose is why there aren't any comments.

Anyway, please make the online beta available for open play except when there is a focus session. I am among those (many?) who recently bought some badass hardware to deal with 1.31 which works great with the offline beta, but goes titsup with 1.30. And yes, I have opened ticket, worked thru the suggestions in forums, etc., without resolution. So I have been playing Rise of Flight and online chess the past few weeks and would like to get back into this game even at the beta level. Help me out, please.

Rata, for the first week we'll have limited play time, but depending on feedback, those sessions might be expanded.

At any rate, glad you're here and ready to play!
