Every time we hear of a massive battle in EVE Online, we are reminded of how incredible the game is. EVE has continued to separate itself from the other MMOs by being able to handle an exorbitant number of players in a single area. This unbelievable feat is most likely attributed to the rigorous testing from the Q&A team and dedication of the EVE fans. This week, you can help out the CCP development team by participating in Mass Testing.

Mass Testing is CCP's way of gathering a multitude of players in one area to grade server performance before launching new content to the live server. The team checks trend-data, streamlines high-priority changes, and gains critical player feedback. This week's test focuses on the Carbon UI and server remapping.

If you would like to take part in this week's Mass Testing, hop on Singularity at 4 p.m. EDT on Thursday 28th. Remember, this is a stress test, so invite everyone you know! Your grandma has an EVE account, right?

Cool, I find it a tad bit funny that we are stuffing as many people as we can onto a server named "Singularity."

Lets break this game so it works when this update goes live!

Bearing in mind the international audience, what is 4pm EDT in Eve Time?

@(Unverified)

EDT should be -4 iirc, feel free to correct me

First of all, 4 pm EDT is 8 pm EVE

And second, I question the reasons behind this article's existence. I mean it's nice to see it, maybe more people will hop on sisi, but then again it's just a mass test, like all mass tests...don't remember having articles every time about them.

Basically i'm wondering if it's a new trend - will we see these things before all mass tests? - or it's just a slow news day and Larry cba to write a ot more.

P.S. idk about that interface man...just hoping the revamping process won't increase the currently short time one preforms an action
