    Hello,

    The test server will be shut down shortly. A critical issue with the later stages of the event has been discovered that will greatly compromise the state of the event.

    It's unlikely that the event will be back up before tomorrow at the earliest, we will keep you updated if this situation changes.

    Hello,

    Test2 is open for the second round of Mercenary Wargame testing.

    For this round, the amount of NPC per wave has been reduced, some waves by quite a bit. Point distribution has changed slightly, due to the invasion waves being more frequent.

    There have also been several bug fixes.
    For details on what the event contains, please check your forums, or the pinned messaged in the #mwg_testserver_feedback channel.

    For this test, we are particularly interested in gather logs on a death-screen issue. This issue can only occur with a high load on the servers, so we must use an open beta to reproduce it. If you encounter any issue with the death-screen, please let us know in the feedback channel. Screenshots will be helpful.

    Your Dark Orbit team.
