Maximum Online Weekend

I'm gonna propose an event called "Maximum Online Weekend."
It's merely about getting everyone online at the same time.
I propose that we do this this Saturday, May 20 at 4 PM GMT (That's 11 AM Central Daylight Time USA)

I don't think we'll all need to be in the same SECTOR, but that ceratinly would be rather cool if we could all get along for 10 minutes to get a group screengrab picture.

Invite your friends to play a new game, email those long-lost players that you never see anymore, those of you with two computers log in as BOTH alts, etc.

This will come right on the heels of an update, so I can understand if the devs are a little squeamish - but - nothing ventured nothing gained!

Who's with me? AaaaahhhhhhhhH!!!!!

/me runs off clutching the tequila...

Sounds fun, but I'll definitely be busy at the Carmel Art Festival that weekend, so no can do.

Interesting concept... it is being discussed...
May 16, 2006 Cunjo link
so the goal is... to see if the game server crashes under a bigger load?

Well it would be interesting to see if the server needed more work... Valuable for the devs and us!

Everyone bring a 2L ship with swarms and an AGT, and when we're sure no one else is coming we all fire weapons at the same time, see what happens!

Vendettus Maximus?

I'll try to make it, kids are usually parked firmly in front of the TV by 6pm on saturdays ;-)

The record we have to beat for this year is 78 players online (Apr 17, during easter).

Cyg, I checked the active page randomly and saw 75 just a couple days ago... I wouldn't be suprised if it's been higher recently.

LOL, Jex. imagine every one in B8 with the pirates and a couple big NPC convoys, and maybe Obs or Relayer accidently spawn a Cappy or two. Lag Online Sunday!

lol Leber, I'll try.

I forgot, anyone know where that website with all the constantly updated server graphs and stuff is? I think Alamar was running it for a while...

We've got one on coalitionofitan.org, dunno if non-members can see it.

I think our goal should be 100 people online. This is NOT an attempt to crash a server or sector, just a stunt to see how many people we can get online. An excuse to get old players to come back, if you wish. Or to get new ones to play.

As per GRAIG's request, cross-posted this to the General forum. May FM have mercy on my soul.

Yes Leebs, it's visible to outsiders from the login screen.

But the direct link (click on it) proves to have much more information:

VO peeked at about 75 this saturday.
