Reflections
During the Alpha, we put two separate server configurations through their paces. Despite the high player density in these areas, we were thrilled with the performance. The data we gathered allowed us to identify and implement further optimizations, ensuring an even smoother experience for future tests and the final release. Our tireless bots have also been enhanced to push the servers to their limits, so we can continue to deliver the best possible gameplay to our players.
The creativity and ingenuity of our players never fail to impress. Throughout the test, a jaw-dropping 1,109,667 items were created, and an astonishing 6,525,613 skill-ups were earned. These numbers stand as proof of the depth and engagement that Adrullan already has to offer.
We also managed to over double our Discord members, YouTube subscribers, and Twitter followers. The website saw 7k unique users create 29k views. We also performed our first email blast to 2,673 previous registrants and got a staggering 47.6% open rate! Our Alpha 4 trailer wracked up 5.7k views, 231 Likes, and 49 comments. We appreciate the communities efforts in spreading the word as we continue to work towards further stress testing~
To all the brave adventurers who took part in the Alpha Test, we salute you! Your passion, dedication, and invaluable feedback have been instrumental in shaping the future of Adrullan. We are eternally grateful for your support and can't wait to share more thrilling updates as we continue to refine and polish this incredible world.
