| Just as a heads up to the folks that frequent our forum:
Tomorrow at around 6:00 AM PST we're going to put up the Anphillia Exodus module for a scheduled playtesting session. The focus will be on mock assaults and defenses with the new systems, balance changes, tilesets, etc. You're all welcome (even encouraged!) to hop on in and join us in order to test things out and to provide feedback on the current module. Those of you who join us will be raised to level 40 and given access to all of the gear available on the server with assistance from one of our DMs (though note that the characters you make for playtesting are only for playtesting -- they will not be transferred over to our host's computer when the finished module goes online, naturally!).
If you're eager to help out (or even just to check things out), look for us under Tech Support in the Gamespy lobby; module name "Anphillia Exodus", player password "noleetdewdz".
I hope to see a few of you there! | |

| I can't work timezones out, even with specialised sites! Perhaps also tell us how many hours it is after your initial post? | |

| 6 AM is 9 AM EST. It is now 12:30 AM EST at the time of this post. So 8.5 hours from the time I post this. Sadly I'll be at work. | |

| 1:30 GMT I believe. One and a half hours now. But GMT confuses me because it refuses to stick around at the same time. | |

| Yeah, that's been my issue with it. The sites say 1pm GMT but that's 20minutes from now, and I instinctively thought that was wrong. Turns out 6am PST is 2pm GMT - for now!
Also, when I set my time to GMT on new forums, it usually puts the time wrong. | |

| In testing we found that HiPS for rangers at level 26 was a tad ridiculous. We'll push that back to 35 and see how that goes. | |

| I'll aim to put it up again tomorrow at around the same time-ish -- or, uh, perhaps a couple hours later; waking up at 4:00 AM just to host the server was no fun. | |

| And we're up for a bit of slightly-less-scheduled playtesting. Feel free to drop on by! | |

| We've been getting enough folk on to test and throw ideas at one another, but others getting involved and giving their input would be very much appreciated. At the very least, you'll be getting a sneak peak at things before they go online and having lotsa assaulting fun!
Don't be afraid to pop in!
As an outsider, I can attest that things look lovely. And I haven't seen everything at all! | |

| Aye, some more faces would be lovely, and it's been a great deal of fun.
I aim to put the server up again sometime this weekend; perhaps on both Saturday and Sunday. I can't offer any specifics beyond that yet, however. I'll post them here when I have them! | |

| Sooo, I'll aim to put up the server for testing at about 6:00 AM PST tomorrow. For those with odd timezones, this translates to about 11.5 hours from now. | |

| I'll put up the server for a bit of testing soon (in 30ish minutes) so that we can experiment with a few more things. Quite a few things have changed, so I will have "enforce legal characters" turned off on the test server in order to avoid breaking characters built for testing in the past few weeks. Additionally, since I realize that this comes on short notice, I'd also like to put up the test server again sometime later this afternoon (that is, hours later), though it remains to be seen whether I'll be around at the time. At this point, I'm not certain, so we'll just have to see!
