FROM SJ-
High water mark today was 3331. That's about 1000 more players than we've ever had before.
Of course, in the course of doing this, we've found more issues to correct. But after all...that's what beta is for.
Those of you that are being patient and helping us test this so we can fix the issues...THANK YOU. Those that can't find patience...well...I recommend you take a week off and come back later.
We will be revving a new world server up tonight because it's clear that we don't have enough capacity in this world to field all players. That is being worked on now and will hopefully be available in a couple hours.
The server names are (currently) representative of dimensional shifts off of a base reality. Therefore, what was once known as Staging (our test server) will become Auraxis Prime. All other servers will be Upshifts or Downshifts based on that.
We'll see how that works out. Just didn't want you to be too confused when you see the names.
We also have a fairly major server optimization scheduled to go in tonight when we rev for the new world. We hope to see some significant improvement in stability and lag issues. (Although the servers are doing pretty well for 3300 players with no particularly new optimizations right now. Granted...there's annoying lag...and the zones max out and dump...but sheesh...there's a LOT going *right* at the moment.)
Stay tuned. Should be a big night. We're expecting record numbers this weekend.
See you all in one of our multiple realities soon!
