The test went okay, pretty much what we expected, lots of bugs and a nasty client crash. Underneath that though, we saw the potential of the update. We want to fix the client crash and improve as much as we can tonight so we can give it another shot tomorrow.
So we are asking if you guys would show up again tomorrow the same time! We really want to nearly fill the 64 player server, so please answer the call of duty!
NEXT TEST:
Sunday the 18th @ 1pm EST (5pm GMT)
For those that missed out on today, you can join us tomorrow!
