SWG Beta Report
The official Star Wars Galaxies website has been updated with new beta report, as they discuss stress testing the servers and the NDA being lifted in the not too distant future. Here’s a cut:
Since the main purpose of the event was to stress the servers, we only had the XP terminals online for a few hours. We gave some clues to help explorers locate them. Since we didn’t give free money as well and skills aren’t cheap from NPC trainers, there was booming business for players to teach skills to each other. Despite a couple crashes and a problem which made some of the free XP disappear, I think most people had fun with the scavenger hunt. There were frustrations but as I’ve repeated on multiple occasions, Beta is about testing the game not about having fun. In the end, we got a lot of great profiling data to help us optimize the servers more.
