re: Testing New Bullroarer Server

0

The New Bullroarer Server is now up and running.  Turbine needs to test population loads, so needs as many folks as possible to join in and help to crash the server.  Seriously!   They need to know what its current limits are, so that they can fix them BEFORE the new servers go live.  There will be nice prizes given for participating. (Instructions on participating can be found in the first 2 links below, and in the Bullroarer Forum on the LotRO Forums page.)  There are several Thread categories given.

Below is the Official Thread.  The 2nd Thread is the Discussion Thread link.  

The 3rd Thread is the Bullroarer Event Thread.  This thread is the one used during the actual testing of the New Bullroarer Server.

The 4th Thread is the report on the Stress Test Results.  Turbine speaks only in very general terms.

There have been 2 stress tests so far.

The first one (10/24/15) tested login, ability to stay logged in, movement, chat, announcements.  In this test, they filled Bree with Balrogs and Coldbear.  +Arbor built ladders into the sky with picnic tables that folks could climb.

The second one  (11/7/15) tested the improvements made.  There will be a third test in a couple of weeks. 

Update: The 3rd Stress Test (12/1/15) tested the improvements made from the results of the 2nd Stress Test.  In this one, they opened all Festivals simultaneously, as they did not wish to test area concentration, but much activity over a wide area. 

Update 4:  The 4th Test (12/8/15) was to test the Chat Server.  In this test, the need for many folks was not so important.  Instead, what was required was chat...and lots of it.  the more chat, the better.
