Realmers,
Yey! This is not a classic testing weekend. Apart from the Speedrun, we are testing two things that will have a big impact on your game: a fix for the Kensei and a Captcha system designed to keep the pesky bots away. Shoo!
Please note that you’ll need to download the Testing Launcher so that you can join this session. Also, as usual, your regular production account won’t work here. If you don’t have one already, you’ll need to create a Testing one. And don’t forget to remove it when you are finished testing or speedrunning. Doing so will avoid issues with the actual production launcher when we update the game.
Now for the speedrun competition: we already mentioned in this blog post but it’s never too much to remind you that the competition will take place on the Testing servers over two weekends: from Friday, the 11th at 17:00 UTC, until Monday, the 14th, at 08:00 UTC, and from Friday, the 18th, 17:00 UTC until Monday the 21st, 08:00 UTC. You can submit your entries until Wednesday the 23rd, 12:00 UTC.
