Quake Live stress test January 7th

[DooMer]

Featuring a brand new map. Lets partake.

For an added bonus, gauntlet me and change any members icon to whatever you'd like for a month, as long as it doesn't violate TOS. My power is yours to abuse, kinda like in Highlander.

[Grandpa Stu]

[Tsakali]

[Unisaw]

^^^^ LOL

[DooMer]

Fuck, I just noticed it's from 3-5pm EST. Oh well, I'll be on later.

[Captain]

Humiliate Doomer? It's been done.

I just might do it again.

[MKJ]

lol old

[Foo]

I'm sure the servers will stand up OK to the ~15-man peak load bearing down upon it.

not that I'm bitter!

[DooMer]

Why would you be bitter that not many people are playing a closed beta test of a 10 year old game?

Fuck, I just noticed it's from 3-5pm EST. Oh well, I'll be on later.

Eastern Standard Time (?) Where ffs?

Can I have a GMT date/Time please. Remember I am in the Southern Hemisphere and down under

Got a place in Q3L and want to see you peeps there

[Captain]

EST = GMT -5

[Unisaw]

Interesting - they scheduled it during their daily user peak hours. See Marty's post from last nite in Site News.

[Whiskey 7]

EST = GMT -5

Thanks Captain
See EST to me is GMT - 10

Fuck, I just noticed it's from 3-5pm EST. Oh well, I'll be on later.

OK, some basic maths...Please add and correct me if wrong or congratulate me if correct so I know.

So 3 to 5 PM (your EST) is 1500- 1700hrs, now take off your figure (EST = GMT-5)... so converted to GMT it is scheduled for 1000-1400 GMT on the 7th

Shit. If I take of my time difference GMT - 10 it will be midnight here, early morning of Wednesday the 7th. Am I right?

Now look, I have my broken foot and all, but I'd love to join and if I have too I will get up at midnight to partake.

Please someone confirm my thinking/maths on this one

[DooMer]

[R00k]

I won't even leave work until 2.5 hours after it's over. =\

[Captain]

Can't make it.

[shaft]

Some people have to work, DooMer.

[xer0s]

The time really doesn't work for me. DooMer, could you have your assistant give me a ring so we can try to pencil in another time for this?

[nay0k]

At the peak of the test there was just over 2,000 people playing, pretty good for a closed beta
