    This should be pretty low stress on servers compared to a game like UO since for the most part our computer will be running the game. I hope they do end up allowing for more than two days of play at a time but I guess we'll see where it all goes.

    I know I'm a bit late to this post, but I read it via the email updates a few days ago. I have to say two things.
    1. Having dates makes this really real, and now I need to take Thursday and Friday off work for the first release.
    2. As excited as I was about the release schedule, and I was (am) super-excited, seeing the map pieces was even more of a thrill. I can't really explain it, but it has something to do with the connection to the original cloth maps and my excitement.

    EXCITED!!!!

    So uhh, we only get to play 2 days each time? Was kinda hoping to play a bit more than that to test things. Or am I wrong here?

    Yep, unfortunately those dates are currently what they're sticking to. But plans may change as we get closer to the dates of each early release.

    The specific test requests are very well confined; won't take much for us to get through what the DEVs are asking for. Now, on a personal side, I'd love more time to goof around as well but I see no issue (provided we can all download/patch/login the first day or two) with providing what they are looking for. I would just as soon let the devs get back to work and not have to babysit us for too long :)

    Later Alphas will most likely run a bit longer with the final test period being undefined at this point.

    On the About page of the main site, it does list Linux. Originally they weren't sure, but they must have been successful in their early tests.

    I'm looking forward to it and the timing is perfect! I'm off to Jamaica on Dec 14th and I was hoping the first test would be before or after my trip. :)
    Thanks for the updates!
