Ken Karl discussed this process in his post at http://207.46.204.126/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=40477. The test went well, but it showed some problems in the new configuration. After studying the data, we've made some changes, and we're ready to gather more data on the improved configuration - which means that we need your help once again!
All players with an active AC or ACDM subscription are invited to come play on this test world. We preserved the database from the last test run, so if you built a character on Shadowclaim last time, that character will be ready and waiting for you. And admins will be on hand for part of the weekend to help new characters level.
What's going on this weekend?
Our goal this weekend is to see 1000 players logged in at the same time. To help reach this goal, we are scheduling two events - one starting around 4 pm EDT on Friday, May 30th, and one starting around 7 pm EDT on Saturday, May 31st.
In addition, we'll be running a variety of smaller events on Friday and Saturday, including possible guest appearances by Asheron and Bael'Zharon, Martine and Gaerlan, the White Rabbit, the Tremendous Monouga, and more! Join in epic PK battles! Quest with the Asheron's Call Live Team! Get them killed, over and over again!
Best of all, nothing that happens on Shadowclaim will affect characters on the 'real' worlds. So it's perfectly safe to train Thrown Weapons, or gamble away your Major War heaume in a trivia contest, or run naked through the Valley of Death!
So come on out this weekend and have some fun!
Great! How do I get there?
To get to Shadowclaim, go to http://zone.msn.com/asheronshadow/default.asp. (You may need to choose 'Play Asheron's Call' from the left-hand menu the first time you visit.) Click on the appropriate Shadowclaim Quick Launch, and in you go!
