The guys from Turbine and Codemasters have just announced that they will be launching the Stress Test for the MMORPG Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar very soon. Scheduled to begin on February 23, the event will last until February 26.
Raffle prizes. This is a great opportunity for interested players to try out the game before it goes into Open Beta, and on top of that, players who participate in the event (as well as closed beta players) will also have shots at winning prizes that the devs will be giving away. Participants will be entered into the raffle for one of the three NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX video cards which are up for grabs.
Stress test. In any case, for those who may not be familiar with what a stress test is, it's basically a period when the devs will allow as many people as they could find to log in to the game servers at the same time. This is to test the server's capacity and see how it will perform under heavy loads. Those who will be participating in a stress test for the first time are advised to expect bad lags, bugs, and the occasional crash. Hopefully, though, the help provided by the participants will allow the devs to take care of whatever needs to be fixed before the game goes public.
Besides, despite the expected crashing and lagging, the guys behind LOTRO are trying their best to sweeten the deal, AND it's free. So, if you've got nothing to do on the dates we just mentioned, then just drop by Turbine's website and sign up for the event.
