The limitation on 250 people/per lobby this weekend slowed down the testing that needed to be done on Shadowclaim this weekend. srand posted the following on the ACDM Forums:
Our test of the new hardware on Shadowclaim this weekend went pretty well. We gathered some good data, but there's a bit more we'd like to get. In particular, we need higher concurrency numbers -- the lobby we used this past weekend was limited to 250 users; for the next phase, we'd like to see 1000 simultaneous players logged in. So we've added a quick launch lobby to the test page to allow for thousands of concurrent users, and we'll be continuing with the live events and the guest appearances. So come on over and help us hammer on these servers! And get killed by Martine, have a snack with Bael-Zharon, chat with the White Rabbit, defend Greenspire from renegade Tumeroks ... c'mon, it'll be fun!
To get to Shadowclaim, go to http://zone.msn.com/asheronshadow/. (You may need to choose 'Play Asheron's Call' from the left-hand menu the first time you visit.) Click on the Shadowclaim Quick Launch, and in you go!
Just remember, once you enter the game, alt+tab out and leave the lobby so someone else can get in!
