This test was a huge success and I want to thank everyone for showing up. I had a blast! Tests will continue next weekend (we need time to fix stuff up).
We managed to test (pretty much) full rounds of Lutremange, Putot, and Cambes, and even Stoumont_Cutoff at the end. All were amazingly fun and unique. As a SL there are so many things to do and we will be adjusting to make sure the SL isn't TOO overwhelmed. Also it seems voice communication is finally working. Local chat after 9 years, finally works!
Still some bugs to work out, but otherwise we are moving towards filling in missing features.
In the mean time head over to the steam discussion board and discuss ideas:
