Well the crystal hunt still goes on and there are the weapons to collect and the quests to perform. So there is some stuff to do now :-)

Everyone complains about lag on PS, but what they\'re talking about is just slowdown to the graphics load that they\'re having to process. For me, though, for some reason standing near the tavern for more than 5 minutes slows everything right down to the point where I have to close the game and re-open it. I\'ll try to be there for the stress test.

I unfortunately missed the stress test yesterday :( I\'ll be there to try and beat those measly numbers today though ;) (as long as that \'could not create player entity\' thing is fixed by that time).

I posted the news on my forum so I hope more of us will make it ;)

In yesterday\'s test (the 2nd one) we hit 59 connected people and it seemed to go fine.  A couple people reported that they \"froze\" if they stayed near the tavern a few minutes.  Did anyone else experience this?

The first day of testing I\'d got stuck at the tavern, psclient terminated itself after a few minutes with no explanation. Couldn\'t connect again.
So yesterday I started at the same spot. Took almost 5 minutes to connect (usually about 20 seconds). And yes, I was stuck again for as long as it took me to type /spawn. Even the chatbox responded slowly.
After some running around I got stuck again near the spawn point at the plaza. And one more time, a while after that it froze again when I was out of town, behind the high walls. Only a very few polygons and no players around, so I doubt it was my hardware. FPS dropped to 0.02, but traffic monitor flashed like crazy, so there still was some communication between me and the server. And I\'m sure it was psclient.
BTW: Athlon 1.33GHz, 512MB DDR, 32MB ATI Radeon, connected through LAN, 192/256 with firewall Zonealarm.
I run Planeshift in the window mode, 1024x768, 16-bit.
Any other application (dictionary, browser...) runs smoothly, even at the moment when Planeshift freezes.

I have complained enough for the moment. :)
Good luck.

I\'ve experienced the same lag problems, frequently to the point of the game giving a run error message and closing down. Missed the Stress test but if it continues on 04/07 I\'ll be there.

Yes, the stresstest will be held on 4/07 as well. Come on, let\'s try to pass the 59 players limit ;-)

When us working folks are trying to make it for the stress test it would helpful to be on Saturday or Sunday.  Otherwise we can\'t make it.  Unless your work at one of those bizarre shifts.

I don\'t know about it being bizarre, but I work from 4 til closing, which is the best time (I think) :P
