โ€ƒ Our goal is to have another Tech-Preview Server Meshing test for select waves of testers (Multiple Waves) starting on Friday and running through the weekend. This Server Meshing test will be focused solely on the Stanton system, with multiple servers sharing the load. We will be testing multiple configurations throughout the weekend with more servers per shard than we have ever tested before, increasing the number of players per shard to stress test the system.

This will not be just evocati.

I'm guessing that we will most likely see servers covering each major zone throughout the solar system that includes at least one planet. If things are looking good they might take it further than that.

In my opinion this feature is far more important that a few minor bugs.

This solves a problem in a way that no other MMO has ever done before. If other MMOs had done this you would experience no loading screens while moving from location to location and you could see/interact with characters/objects even if they're in another server/zone.

Additionally, many bugs are caused by strained resources across the servers, so sharing the load in this way will actually resolve a number of issues.

That being said, feel free to link any issues that are your primary concerns with this game and I'll be sure to give it an upvote for you.
