Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning News - Winds of Change on Dark Crag

Posted by Keith Cross on Apr 28, 2009  | 14 comments in our forums

Mythic Entertainment is testing a new system on the Dark Craig server called the "Winds of Change." The system is designed to move players to the nearest safe are in Open RvR as a preemptive action to stop server crashes.

In our efforts to improve server stability and performance in Open Realm vs. Realm combat, the players of Dark Crag will have the opportunity to participate in a live test of a new system called "Winds of Change."

The goal of this system is to ensure the best Open Realm vs. Realm experience for as many people as possible and to prevent server crashes. Overall, this system will only take effect in the most extreme server load situations, and will only happen as a last measure before the zone would actually crash.

In order to accomplish this goal "The Winds of Change" will now teleport a small number of players in Realm vs. Realm lakes to the closest "safe point" when crowds are large enough to threaten the stability of the server. This will generally be the nearest Warcamp, however, it may also be a Chapter Hub within the zone depending on where performance is being impacted the most.
