Hi!
We will be holding a mass test on Singularity on Thursday, April 11th, at 19:00 UTC (= EVE time).
What exactly is being tested?
How to connect to Singularity for this test:
Test steps:
- Meet in FD-MLJ
- to be decided
What else should I know?
- We will be moving players to the test system - join the channel massmoveme for this
- Please bring a good mix of ships!
- Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test
- Please run logserver during the mass test, if possible.

Yes, activations will happen before the mass test, but it is still not sure, if it will done by the automatic script (or through the old process). CCP Habakuk | EVE Quality Assurance | Team Gridlock | Team Five 0 Bug reporting | Mass Testing |

There are mainly two sides to it: 1. Number of players, who would join the mass test - this is at peak around 20:00 UTC (compare with the population on TQ) 2. Devs, which are needed for the mass test - the afternoon would be better, but 19:00 or 20:00 is still ok. Later than 20:00 gets very difficult. For me personally 21:00 is still ok - but then i would probably have to run the mass test alone. Mass tests during the weekend have the same problem (but very seldom we had mass tests during the weekend).

Singularity is currently capped at ~650 players to avoid too heavy time dilation during the mass test. The reason for this is, that we are mostly interested in the client behavior and graphical effects in this mass test and too much lag would disturb this.
For the case that you are trying to login, you are unable to do so because of the queue and still want skillpoints: Send an eve-mail to this character (CCP Habakuk2) at the time when you were trying to login. I will try to give you at least a part of the skill points.

Skill points for this mass test have been applied to your characters on Singularity.
I am sorry for all the trouble with the login queue. Sure, it could have been handled a bit better - but the internal results of the mass test were more important than allowing all players to login. We will have several more mass tests in the next weeks - there should be enough opportunities for you to join (and I will give info about the population caps earlier).
The amount of interested players was way higher than expected - 1637 characters managed to login within a time frame of a few hours around the mass test. All of these and 20 additional characters (who sent me a mail) received skill points on Singularity.
Thanks for your interest in this mass test.
Results from the mass test: We found problems with the cyno jump-in effect and are looking in ways to reduce the memory consumption of the client. More mass tests will be scheduled within the next weeks. CCP Habakuk | EVE Quality Assurance | Team Gridlock | Team Five 0 Bug reporting | Mass Testing |

You were already on my list and the skill points are waiting for you on Sisi.  CCP Habakuk | EVE Quality Assurance | Team Gridlock | Team Five 0 Bug reporting | Mass Testing |
