The Wild Bunch & Tripwire Interactive's 50 player test server

[ButchCassidy]

It is with great pleasure that The Wild Bunch Clan are happy to announce a new server that will include exclusive test code written by the Tripwire Devs to increase the maxplayer settings for RO servers.

For other RO Admins that maybe interested the server spec for this test is as follows:

Dell PE1950 server
2x Dual Core Intel

We are really happy about the opportunity to test our server on TWB's awesome hardware!

Thanks again!

I bet a lot of people would like to see how RO plays with so many people on the server, so fire up RO and join us!

Danzig, OH GOD.

Guys, this is a performance test, we would like to see how the server performs on the best hardware currently available.

This sounds sooo brilliant! I can hardly wait to see 25 guys attacking towards 25 defenders on some large maps!

I think the more there are players on a map the more important those accurate riflemen will be. With small amount of players on a small map, like 10 on a side, it's sometimes too easy to hold the other team back with just 3 SMG guys. With 25 enemies that have like 15 riflemen backing their troops are deadly for those rambos.

With 50 guys on a server we can finally have a true full scale war. Tanks, riflemen, attack troops.. Oh man that sounds sooo promising! Tactics will play a whole new major role on those servers and the teamplay+VOIP gets things done.

The 50 slot setup is just a start. Maybe it works and we can even increase the limit, maybe not and we have to lower the limit.

Infantry maps could work, tank maps could kill the server.

We will find out

I'll test this, btw I think the mgs and maybe snipers will be very important for 50 players. A good MGer on your team is never bad.

Hmm, The Wild Bunch server is located in Europe right?

 

[Suntio]

This is awesome!
I'll be there, if I have time. Busy day today, darn it.

Yes, it is located in the UK.

Now that you mentioned snipers and MGs, I don't think I'll be selecting a PPSH-guy on those servers any time soon

I love how this game is so balanced yet imbalanced. On some maps SMG guys can rule, but a good rifleman can drop'em like flies. I really need to work on with my rifle skills more, I've been using STG44 with single shot and semi-rifles way too much lately

ahahahah so true

 

[Rak]

Nice. Now all we need is 250 bots on that server, and it will be smoking.

 

[[TW]schneidzekk]

Hehe, no bots this time

 

[Banjo Fett]

If anyone can do servers, it's The Wild Bunch. But with full-on support from Tripwire this is bound to bring good results.

Going live in 10 minutes - I can feel a sicky coming on...

Hehe, yeah it depends much on the map. I've always tried to be a good marksman in RO. And TWB have you public ts?
