The stumbling MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar (SotA) is hosting a stress test on April 23rd – those who participate will receive double XP.
A stress test after the release of an MMORPG? Shroud of the Avatar is struggling with performance issues. When multiple players are in an instance, the performance of the title crashes. This can happen – from personal experience – already with 20 players. This is certainly not a particularly good starting situation for an MMORPG. Therefore, a stress test is now taking place.
A massive stress test for 50 players
Portalarium hopes to get 50 players to participate in this test. To encourage players to join the test, the developers promise double experience points.
- The stress test is said to be “massive” according to the team – at least 50 players are expected
- It is one of those popular dance parties taking place on a ship
- The stress test is expected to last 45 minutes
- The test will take place on the MMO’s QA server
- The stress test will activate a double XP event on the live server for one week after release 53 starts on April 26th – but only if 50 players actually participate
- Those who show up at the dance party will have a chance to receive random rewards
The next update is important
Release 53 of the MMORPG Shroud of the Avatar is very important for Portalarium. Because now the marketing campaign should finally start. Accordingly, it is necessary that new players find a stable MMO, which was not the case at the release. This happened prematurely for many fans. Now the studio must turn things around.
The launch of Shroud of the Avatar did not go as well as the developers probably hoped.
