Halloween is a time for stress.

Stress is all around us. I stress out over what I should wear, and "will that mesh tank top accentuate my Village People costume?" I'm not the only one stressing, Frogster is ready to stress test the Runes of Magic servers.

Using Halloween as a back drop, Frogster is ready for beta testers to stress the servers:

Today Frogster will start the first big server stress test for Runes of Magic. For this event, the Berlin based publisher has invited around 30,000 interested players to the already running closed beta. After a server maintenance during the course of the afternoon, all players are called upon from 8pm to 3am to bring the server under as heavy load as possible. The second big stress test will follow next Saturday...

Simultaneously, the beta testers will get a first glimpse of the event system in Runes of Magic. Just in time for the Halloween weekend, they will be greeted by grim pumpkin heads, singing ghosts, monster parades and specially designed landscapes. Interested players can take part in special Halloween quests, fight together against the big pumpkin or turn into monsters themselves by drinking certain potions
