MU Legend Confirms Open Beta, Plans Stress Test, And Unveils New Site
Webzen announced that they were pushing back the MMORPG’s open beta release from September to November in order to incorporate from the South Korean version into the Global version of the game. In a press release earlier this week, the studio finally confirmed that OBT will officially begin on November 7.
Furthermore, to ensure that their servers are perfectly capable of handling the influx of player on OBT day, Webzen is inviting fans to, as the studio put it, “voluntarily jeopardize the integrity” of the Americas server in a Stress Test scheduled for September 23rd.
“Following our strong wish to offer the most optimized game experience, we are willingly stressing one portion of our servers system, jamming its capabilities in order to get precious technical data before the OBT release,” says Mu Legend Producer Pierre Vandenbroucke. ”All worst technical situations cannot be only virtually simulated and we will need the concourse of our fans to literally break the server."
The stress test even comes with a trailer which you can watch after the break. The new MU Legend site is also live so you might want to check that out as well.
