New World - Players Invited for Density Testing Starting July 30th, Preview Forthcoming
Amazon Game Studios is allowing players who have pre-ordered prior to July 26th or alpha tested, into a density test that begins July 30th. The test is aiming to stress the servers for an upcoming New World Preview.

Part of the issue i had was the world looked empty,so i assume they are not going to change that sadly.
This might also tell me that whatever they are doing to upgrade the game is going to be very little,likely instance work and maybe some added stat ideas.Is this whole delay thing a smokescreen,they are just moving people to other projects and waiting their time for a better more lucrative release date?
Like all the people who test this are going to know if anything is done for the release next year.
"SELECT"beta sign ups will be in,so if your name is Asmongold,Pewdee pie or a website your in,everyone else,forget it.

Still beats the "I Survived Sausage Lake" shirt that I have from Mortal Online.
If they have any issues with maybe 100/200-300 they should fire their networking team right now.Like how many players is this going to be,they could test this on 2 server machines?
It seems like this is actually just your typical everyday pre order push ,you know we've seen this before,BUY NOW and you can beta test....umm yeah ok.
I have seen sooooooooooo much advertising on the internet i can usually spot it right away but this didn't really strike me as that except nothing else makes any sense,the timing of this especially is questionable.

It seems that the new business model is to stay in perpetual alpha or beta, and charge for it.

You usually want to do these server load tests at the end of beta just before release, not when you just pushed back the release date by 9 months. Very weird timing.

- Day 1: July 30, starting at 2PM PT – Complete the tutorial and reach a settlement
It has been impossible to complete the tutorial or get more than 1 minute into it without it "detecting lag" and then resetting me to the beginning of the tutorial. The look is great although character creating options need a few more choices but right now it's unplayable and I don't mean that I expect a full game experience but after 15+ runs trying to get through the tutorial and never able to last more than 5 minutes before it resets me, there's nothing to say except they need ore stability just to achieve the stated daily goal.
Well I was hoping to play to help them test it out not just to get a free sample. It's just frustrating not to be able to achieve the limited goals they set. Hopefully some people are!
Let me log back in and see if I can at least grab a screen shot, it looks good.
I made them a tad smaller than they actually formatted as, wasn't sure if they would be too big
Maybe both! I want to see this title succeed so willing to give a little of my time to help them work out the kinks! I posted a couple of screen shots but they seem to have vanished, perhaps the images aren't acceptable during the stress test, I meant no offense if that's the issue.
