State Of The Build!!!!

[Navaron]

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!

Good news The beta crowd shoulda seen the server downtime and lag coming, what with the deluge of new players. If they get this fixed by tonight, i'll be thoroughly impressed. I can't help but think that they saw this coming as well, and were somewhat prepared ahead of time, contributing to the rapid server launch.

[Sarah Jinstar]

Yeah I think we all saw it coming, I know a few of us got really frustrated, myself included being my first day in & being so eager to experience what some of you have been.
But it'll get better soon

today was my first day, i've crashed 4 times in about 2-3 hours of playing. first time it just crashed to the desktop. rest has said "you have left the world" then i click ok and then it sits trying to connect to the login server for a min. then it says it can't connect. then i can re join and all is good. for about 10 mins... is this the game kicking me out because of those drops he was talking about? or something else

[Salazar]

Thats it, and when I logged in I saw an extra server but it was down

[1024]

Finnally they'll get rid of that damned LAG

[Rogue]

Hmm, maybe not getting my CD today was a blessing in disguise... the mailman did give me an odd look when I beat him to the mailbox though.

[Hamma]

I realized after playing beta my comp needs parts, so a break is kinda mandatory
