GOG.com puts out the call for help in stress-testing their new Galaxy
multiplayer system starting tomorrow. Here's word:
Our venture into GOG Galaxy started not too long ago, so far our infrastructure
supports online multiplayer for
Aliens vs
Predator Classic 2000,
Double Dragon Trilogy
and of course The
Witcher Adventure Game. It's been pretty smooth sailing, but there is still
so much ahead of us. We want to learn everything we can about our infrastructure
under a lot of stress, how much we can handle before weird stuff starts to
happen. That means plenty of people doing all kinds of things at once - rolling
dice, beating up baddies, killing aliens.
We're going to be hanging out in-game, and we'd like you to join us in trying to
break our servers.
-We want to throw everything we can at our infrastructure. We'd like you to help
us break it on Thursday, February 12 starting at 4:00 PM GMT. No worries if
you're late, we'll be at it for a while.
You can check your local time right here!
-Simply launch your GOG.com copy of Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000, Double
Dragon Trilogy, The Witcher Adventure Game, join an existing multiplayer game or
create your own, and have a good time! We'll be there too.
Once you've had a chance to play, let us know how your online experience went,
and what we can do to improve it (keep in mind we're not testing the games
themselves, but the online infrastructure). You can vent, praise, and anything
in between, right here in this forum thread. We'll be watching!
