End of Liberator Milestone finally reached

Its been more than a month since we announced End Of Liberator Milestone, and today we are proud to announce that on the 13th of May 2012 Liberator will be taken offline one last time. It will be wiped and preparations for the launch of the new Alpha server will begin. Launch of the new Test-Play Alpha server is expected mid June.


What exactly does this mean?

It means that that we have less than two weeks left before we wipe Liberator and begin a month of stress testing on TC: Nova. During this month of stress testing there will be only one server online, TC: Nova.

After we wipe Liberator it is time for some seriously massive stress testing on TC: Nova. During that time we hope that all major stability issues, bugs and exploits will be found and fixed. Like we said before, this is a crucial period for the OR code and for this project as a whole, everything done so far will need to be tested during that time. To reduce the likelihood of future Alpha wipes, it is imperative that everyone does their best to help the Developers find and fix as many bugs, exploits and stability issues as possible. If major of issues are not discovered during the stress test then more wipes of the new Alpha server might be necessary.




How can we help?

The Development Team, will need YOUR help on TC: Nova to test the current OR code. Please logon to TC: Nova, pick a part of the game you are familiar with and start testing and submitting bug reports. Everything and anything implemented needs to be tested and retested. If you are not sure what you should do or you want to participate in a more coordinated and focused testing effort then please join our QA and Dev team in our IRC #openqa channel. If you are unsure where or how to submit a bug report, please check our "How to report bugs on Bug Tracker (Mantis) (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22463)" guide.




Month of stress testing is over, what then?

New Alpha play-test server will be launched. This will mark the beginning of SWGEmu Alpha Testing stage.

Please be aware that even after the new Alpha server is launched some major fixes and additions to the code may require database wipes. We will do our best to keep database wipes to a minimum, whenever possible we will try to save your character data. We will give advance notice of an upcoming DB wipe. Always keep in mind that this project is still in Alpha Testing and that even though we can clearly see the light at the end of the tunnel, we still have a long way to go before we are ready to release 1.0 to the public so permanent play servers can be created.

OMG can't wait can't wait!

I can't say that I've contributed much to actually testing anything, but the little bit of time I've put into doing stuff on Nova has just made me more excited for the day when I can finally play without worrying about it all spontaneously poofing out of existence! =)

Will the frogs still be used for testing purposes, and if so, what will remain on them? As a Scout / Ranger, hope the resource crates will be removed, but I suspect I'll get flak from crafters over that. Regardless, could more information be divulged on what will be available to assist everyone with stress-testing the servers?

Removing the frogs will be the major difference between TC:Nova and Alpha :)

Very exciting news. It's kind of mixed emotions with the joy of being able to work hard for our characters, but the dread of losing all those sweet sweet options from that amazing blue beast thing that I don't believe resembles a frog at all.

So excited! I've already told my 8 or so SWG friends that I kept in touch with about it. And I already have run into 2-3 of my old SWG buddies on Liberator already. I think once the 13th comes around we'll see a lot more people and definitely once the real server comes out we'll see a huge increase in population.

My one real concern is the release of the code to the public in the future. I'm hoping that even if people are able to make their own servers, that it won't take away too much from the population of the main one. The team worked so hard to bring this game back to us, I intend to play their version because of it.

Well, my day has just been made. Hell, I think this makes my year. Thank you and congradulations to the Devs for all their hard work.

Anyway, let's get to testing! The alpha test server needs to have as little bugs as possible so we can all enjoy the testing experience with as few wipes as neccessary.

I can't really test much as I wasn't around pre cu and I don't know what working as intended is. But I'll be on the test server as much as possible just to add load to the server to test it that way. :-)

I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for what you guys are doing. A large portion of my time working in the game industry, revolved around SWG. I even met my wife thanks to it.

It's a piece of art, and deserves curation, just like any other. The news it was going down for good (despite NGE) was a pretty sad moment for me. I'd like to show my son one day where I met his mother. Thanks to you guys, I can.

Keep up the good fight, I look forward to submitting bugs on TC!

zibanziban

You can submit bugs from Basilisk too :)
