Multiplayer Testing

Our internal closed testing has been continuing, and then pausing, as we identify and fix crashes and other issues. The vast amount of changes we have made require meticulous testing. We’re hoping to begin our first large-scale capacity testing next week (assuming we have a stable enough build). This will involve us working the server over with around 50 people initially, then working up to 150 and beyond to obtain metrics as to what limitations we will have.

I dunno how they expected to launch before 2013.

Grass draw distance is a server enforced setting and objects draw from further than terrain

Lol I'm not being a downer, I just don't see how they expected to have a 2012 release. I'm hoping it comes out really soon. The first delay opened the door for a very late release. But if the trade off is for a well performing, fun, playable beta, then I'm all for it.
