Our first network test was a huge success
What a first test! Gildrook’s first network test went better than I ever hoped, and that’s all thanks to you. Thank you to everyone who came in and played.
How it went
This test was about the servers, and they passed with flying colors. Over three days, 72 players from 16 countries came in and played 168 hours between them. At the busiest moment, 18 of us were on at once.
The game kept its pace the whole time: the server never fell behind, not once. Even at its busiest it used less than 15% of a single processor core, so there’s plenty of room for a lot more of you. And it ran smoothly for you, some of you at over 100 frames a second.
The top three
Congratulations to the three highest total levels when the test closed: Dracknus at 296, TwinBlade at 217 and ece at 199. Well played, all three of you!
The easter egg
There’s an easter egg hidden in the world, and nobody found it. So its reward is still waiting for whoever finds it first in the next test. That’s all I’ll say.
What’s next
There’s a lot more on the way. Here’s a first look at Ravenscar Moor: a wild stretch of heather, peat bogs and granite tors, and the giants who live up there.
I’ll say when the next test is coming on the Discord and on X, so join and follow to hear first. Thank you again for coming in and making it such a success. See you in the next one!
