Thanks Paul!

Coincidentally enough it'll be my 1 year anniversary. What a nice gift from Paul, it's like he knew!! Unfortunately won't be able to test that day as already have some plans. Will be able to test throughout the week nights. It'll be fun!

Well, will have to either wake up @ 2.00 am to start out, or just stay awake (maybe get bourbons for the stress test ;p )

?: I would think testing the F5 disconnect prior to going live would be done? ... not sure if anyone would try this out @ MQ either ... actually, hope the F5 and v1.32 doesn't effect purposely failing Feeder MQ (which I like to do since I hate having to do double amount of master quests just to get +1 Stat point with Samurai) ... EDIT: guessing you will remove the auto /set easy 1 command since we are starting with fresh characters, or does /set easy 0 work here (never tested this out)

Also... do you have any specific "stress" testing areas you want people to work on other than disconnects?

E2: I do know I will most likely play for like 3 hours or more then fall off to sleep while window is left open (after testing log out scenarios etc)... that maybe a test thing, not sure.

Thanks for da info kevo

Also any thought on this not being only from 1006 disconnects, but also logging out? Or is that the plan. Would be cool to be able to put down a maze if you have to go and be able to pick it up later

Or more details on this monday?

It currently saves everything related to your game (map, group, combat, glyphs, mq, but not skills -- those will behave the same as today) for 2 hours before purging it, so you can close the tab, and reopen it within that 2 hour window and resume where you left off. (Or as Kevin mentioned, fire it up on your phone and immediately resume, and vice versa). The time kept is subject to change (+ or -)

Edit: Will post more about this Monday morning, and also, once you try it, it will make way more sense than I can possibly explain it. Picture worth a thousand words and all that.
Edit2: You can close it out by clicking Log Out from town, and it will purge anything related to the character, same as today does with Log Out (or disconnect) -- In fact, this will be the only supported way to immediately close out a character from the server.

sounds interesting! shame i work whole Sunday and Monday, so will have to try it out on Tuesday afternoon when i get home from work.

Awesome work!

Makes sense and sounds good, thanks guys!

might bail on work myself for this.

It'll be up all week, no need to do that!

PTO days are not at a premium this year! that fg reward seems to be though
