You can view a high quality version here: http://swgemu.com/april15_stress.wmv

The music is "The Kraken" from the Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest soundtrack. The bit at the end is from this SNL skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjxKFbsdIZg

Update: Unfortunately, the test didn't work out as planned. Ramsey wrote:

Stress test has been canned.

We are having a lot of trouble with freebsd, especially with the load we experienced. There was also a lot of new internal code that was being tested, as well as some unstable stuff that surfaced today. So its back to fixing.


I really don't know what to say but, sorry. I mean its a stress test and we EXPECT things to go wrong, but people have been telling me "nothing new waste of time gtfo". When really there was a lot of things new, inside anyway, and new things to test out internally. Just because you cant SEE something in game on our servers doesn't mean we haven't added anything new.

I just want you guys to understand the reasons for our development actions. We are taking things slow because this software will be used for years to come. We would rather take 100 hours of development time to work on something that, in game, isn't visually beautiful, than to slop together something that looks nice but will fail 3 months down the road.

The themed stress test was a good idea but as a project, we aren't ready for it. What we will have to do is stick to traditional stress testing, except adding features at a more consistent rate so it isn't as boring. We will still have stress tests but they will have a bit more quality control than this one has.

TA and Oru are fuckin exhausted and just went to bed. I've been pulling all nighters almost every night since thursday. So we're all pretty tired.

We walked away from this test wiser than before, and more prepared to handle these events.

I hope you'll understand. On behalf of the (TIREDDDDDDDD) swgemu team,
Ramsey.

The server for the event will launch somewhere between 5:00 to 5:30 PM EST (2:00PM to 2:30 PM PST), and the actual event will go live no later than 5:45 PM EST (2:45 PST). For those in the UK, EST is -5 GMT.

And again the SWGEmu community responds in it's chracteristic manner. Go on then gentlemen. Keep feeding your donations to the greedy devs, they're not the real deal, their emu will be a crappy husk, SWG ANH at least won't accept donations until it's out. They don't have forums. They don't have egos to inflate. They're professionals.

[smusatto]

Smooth move. Why would you insult the SWGEmu community if you're trying to steal them away? What's the logic in that?

ANH doesn't accept donations because they have nothing to show people.  It'd be an insult to ask for them.

[smusatto]

They don't have forums because all their mods were neonazi draconian assholes when they were modding the SWGEmu forums. Everybody hated them and were afraid to post any questions for fear of being banned. It'd be a fiasco to have those mods try to moderate forums again. Unless of course, they got the sticks removed from their asses.

If they didn't have egos to inflate, why are you here flaming this video? Q_Q ANH.

[MartPantera]

not to slate of the emu team but your first sentence is retarded. They may be considered more professiional than the Emu team since there not worrying about a community until theyev completed the game ,There concentrating completly on the system itself and not the players which will play it
