Final Stress Test and End of Beta
Posted 9 years ago
Discussion
In anticipation of our launch we would like to inform you that the open Beta will be coming to an end during Monday the 23rd of March. One day before this we would like to perform a final stress test, that means in one week on Sunday the 22nd starting at 8PM CET. We hope you will show up in huge numbers to test our recent improvements to server performance and stability. Additionally you will have access to items up to itemlevel 81 and access to rank 14 gear for the last days of the beta.
We want to thank everybody who participated in the Open Beta and were very impressed with the effort and diligence put into many of your reports. Until the launch we will do our very best to solve as many issues and implement as many missing details as we possibly can. We hope to see you all for the final stress test and after that on launch day!
For those interested, below you will find the probably biggest changelog so far, much of which is the result of work of the recent weeks.
