Back on November 16 we started our closed beta for Broken Arrow and it's been a real ride so far. Many thousands of testers have tried the game, offering invaluable feedback and playing countless matches. As the holidays break approaches we're about to wrap it up, but not before [b]one last big wave of invites[/b]. Tomorrow afternoon (roughly at 4 pm GMT) on Friday 15 December, we will be sending our biggest wave of invites up to date. It is our intention to invite all those who have applied to the beta and haven't been able to get in yet. Furthermore, if you haven't applied yet, you're still in time to do so: head to our website and fill our [url=https://www.slitherine.com/beta/broken-arrow]sign-up form[/url], last chance to do it. When we send our wave of invitations make sure to check your e-mail inbox (and make sure to check both the Spam and Promotions folders, depending on your spam filters) and the [url=https://www.slitherine.com/member/mypage]My Page[/url] section of our website. As usual, remember that if you are accepted in the closed beta you'll be under NDA and you won't be allowed to divulge information about the game, show it outside the private beta channels or stream it anywhere. [h3]Server stress test[/h3] We want this weekend to see the high peak of activity on our servers and really put them to test. We ask the current testers and all the new ones who are going to be invited tomorrow to engage in multiplayer matches over the course of the weekend, from December 15 to December 17. When we release the game we want to ensure everyone across all regions of the world has a smooth and lagless multiplayer experience, and making sure we reach that goal is the reason behind this stress test. If you can help us out and test the limits of the servers that would be great. [h3]End of the closed beta... and a surprise for January[/h3] Next week on Wednesday 20 December we will be closing down the closed beta as both Slitherine and Steel Balalaika get a break for the holidays... but no worries, we'll be back in January with a big surprise for you. In January we will be opening a [b]public demo[/b] on Steam so that everyone will be able to play it as well as post content online and stream the game!
