Oh ok.. I see how it works.
Right, I'm still the liar here. Understood.
Amazing. I say there will be a beta/stress and get called names and say prove it. I state yes there will be and I'm called names and shit upon. They ask when I say soon after SoG closure, I get laughed at. Oh I'm sorry.
As to the so-called `status` you speak of I have not the care in the world what you think of me honestly. I said it would happen, it did. now there are NEW rules to this pretty little hate machine you call these forums?
Again, I see and understand -- I'm sure others now also see and understand most of the ones that constantly badmouth and slander the game. One thing you always notice that it's the very same people OVER and OVER again with the same drivel.
Cheers to you all however you feel about me but vindication tastes much, MUCH better than the crow many are choking down now. It's ok, you don't have to say anything -- your silence speaks volumes.
a beta/stress test in the manner of which we were stating it is an OPEN stress test. This is NOT an open beta stress test. Its for those pioneers/settlers who are still left. Its is NOT an OPEN stress test.
This is considered yet another shoddy example.
A stress test in the mmo world would be an open stress to get as many ppl as possible to test the servers. Farlan does not see fit to supply that kind of testing to thier game. And honestly, I dont think they would have that much stupidity to do so. They want the ppls money first before others experience the empty promises and teh same bugs over and over and over again only to procreate even newer ones. They havent fixed the ones from the SOG release -- what makes you think the public is gonna think they did, can or will fix it in less than a week and without the most ppl possible on the server in order to help test it??????????>
ITs another smoke and mirror bs move.
yeh we can tell, a flame bait post and yet another buh bye from you.
Considering that AD has stated that even ALL Refundees are allowed into SoG AFTER they have refunded ... I have a feeling they should be able to login to this Stress test also.
(I still have a weird feeling they can still login to D&L Come May 30th also, but thats another topic.)
This should be a good thing for both "Fanbois" & "Trolls/Hateboys/Etc." alike.
Too bad I am at work and my work PC can no longer play games
(I am currently waiting for my Pre-Ordered Laptop to be delivered by June, 7, 2006)
I have to wait until I get home to start DLing the client and possibly check it out this Sunday.
And I can kinda agree with Cholayna in parts.
This is in no meaning an Open Beta/Stress Test as it is LIMITEd to those that have access to it.
(ie: Beta Testers, SoG Pioners & Settlers and possibly the Refundees, the last is currently not confirmed yet.)
Also, they ONLY have exactly 9 Days from teh start of the Stress Test to D&L Release.
Let us consider the last fw events that occured in SoG.
How many exactly did participate in it?
I think the most participation they had was around 500 as stated by one of the AD Mods in the Official D&L Forums.
The VERY last event only had a couple hundred in them.
How many people are suppose to be able to login at the same time in D&L?
I think it was stated that it is suppose to hold THOUSANDS of players at once in a single server!
A coupel hundred at the same time is not a "Real" Stress test in the same sense then.

Thats what you call a stress test, for a game which advertises with: the largest mmorpg you ever see???
A Stress test for me is, if they allow everybody who wants to test it to let in. So no, this is NOT a stress test. The stress test my own home computer could do, as the only server available.
Edit: For me this sounds like how many subscribers will still play it and not like a real serious stress test. They try to estimate how many PCs they need for the release. Add to the lies they delievered that they wrongly advertised and stoped to believe that this will be the largest mmorpg ever released.
No way I will ever lay hands on this game, even if it has a smooth start and getting many positive revenues. As soon I would have a problem, I know they will lie to me again. Because then they will go: It worked the last time, why not now.
I will not play it just for the sake that other mmorpg companys will not use this example that customers can be pushed around at will.
Bittorrent download is broken, and to get it 'free' you have to play a one time fee of 23 odd US dollars. Someone find a working download link for bittorrent client?
Ok all downloaded... now I'll leave it on to help seed the pipe... good luck everyone
Note: The SoG download was about 1.30 Gig, the DnL stress test is near 1.90 Gig.

Link for Anarchyart http://www.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-Stable.exe (Note: No fees should apply.. I never paid a thing)
So I will be there as will the remaining members of the Age of Judgement clan. Still I expect relatively low numbers. My guess would be 200 online at the same time
My advice for all the game critics is to get into the test so you can at least be up to date in your criticism lol.
I got it in less than an hour. ( at work )
I seed it for others:
After I woke up I notice that I already uploaded 171GB
We will see what will happen now.
And I agree the real hard core stress test would be to put it free for everyone with statement that is the finial version of DnL so far. (hehe it could also be called open beta )
Personaly I belive that most of the ppl which have preorder account will try it, we can only speculate how many ppl that is.
They had very good stress test with SoG that turn out very bad ( server crashes and client instablity ).
As for the WoW ( 500,000 people ) all I can say is haha, couse its pointles for multi-server mmos to make such large scale stress test ... Multi-server mmos can hold like 5000-7000 (usualy they have far less) councurent players per server so it realy does not matter if you have 500.000 it would only mean to open more servers.
imo with that stress test they will test new server farm ( 80 servers ) located in Amsterdam.
( SoG run on 10 servers in Paris ... they will leave them for internal beta )
To comparision Eve online is running on 120 servers and they had 25K councurent users with arround 100K subscribers. ( Eve servers have solid state disks )
p.s. 10 days left till release ( or delay annoucement)

Well agreed it is only for those who were ablle to play SoG. But some numbers:
8,881 Pioneers (yes many were refunded but they were re-sold out shortly after)
10,000 Free Accounts
2-5000 Pre-Orders (I'm guessing here, no data to prove)
Even that is a large enough base to do a starting valid stress test. Every MMO has had startup issues with servers going down or billing sites flooded that were popular. I feel this is an adequate number for a `internal` stress test before release. Many of the server issues seen in SoG were gone before half of it's life so this is more of a closed beta for those who've already played.
great that you guys can get good DL speeds with bit dribble, as you can see some of us cannot. BTW the speed test was done immediately after canceling the DL to be fair though ISP was running bit slow this morning
I miss DAoC
I tested same BT as you jack and i got realy low DL around 20-50kb/s.
Then i downloaded bitcomet, and whooa 400-500kb/s DL, and uploaded around 50kb/s.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
I'm a wiz at torrents

And you honestly want to try to make us all believe that every last single one of those STILL want to play this game? Out of the free accounts, how many care anymore? Out of both times trying to sell pioneer accounts, how many are left? Of those that are left, how many actually care anymore about this game? A few thousand for a game that says it can handle 1000000 at once -- a few thousand when it crashes with 200 on .
And half the server issues gone? You seem to forget there are quite a few here that still TRY to log in , STILL have permabug issues, there is STILL an ALi , there is still crashing.....all DNL FANS did was make a workaround.Even your own boards show the horrendous problems ppl have. DNL hasnt fixed a thing.
Soooooo just like your other comments misleading inaccurate and false.
PermaBug and ALI were gone weeks if not months ago. There were some stragglers that needed GM/Dev intervention and they asked those to notify them so they could resolve. I phathom those who *still* have these issues are those who didn't respond.
Whatever. You need more of a life my friend. Get over it and yourself.
