An avalanche of news follows the announcement of the OBT release date, including a new website, a pending stress test, an early download and four new official Facebook pages for the game.
WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, has announced that the global OBT of MU Legend will begin on November 7th of this year.
WEBZEN – through the voice of the MU Legend team at WEBZEN Dublin – confirmed the date of the long-awaited global OBT to MU Legend fans:
“Being faithfully committed to the delivery of the game, what was initially planned to be a three-month-long development, QA and localization process (cf. Producer Letter) has been shrunk to a duration of two months only.
Our people at WEBZEN are like our fans: actual gamers and with a great passion for videogames, and I can guarantee you that they are all committed to the November 7th release date!”
The MU Legend team has also revealed its plan to deliberately strain the integrity of part of its game-server infrastructure (Americas). All available users have been invited to take part in a stress test, under the hashtag “#Breakourserver”, intended for September 23rd.
Dennis Czybulka commented: “To satisfy our strong wish to offer the most optimized game experience, we are willingly stressing one portion of our server system, jamming its capabilities in order to get precious technical data before the OBT release”.
WEBZEN’s COO continued: “We cannot adequately test all worst-case scenarios virtually, so we will need the cooperation of our fans to push our server to breaking point.”
Another important piece of information also accompanies the stress test announcement: The client that is now available on the new MU Legend website is an early download of the game that will be updated for the OBT release. Users will be able to download the game a month and a half before the OBT release date.
Meanwhile, the all-new MU Legend website will be delivering important gameplay guides on a regular basis.
Along with all these announcements, the MU Legend team has also made a big step in broadening its communication with players.
The stress test details themselves will be communicated in five languages later on. Up to this point, our loyal fans have been following the MU Legend project on the official global Facebook page in English.
