Raiding Party Finder Load Test

Test the Raiding Party Finder, and get a glimpse at Raids' environments! To join in, jump on World 378.

In January, Raids are coming to Snufftruffle. These dynamic challenges will scale to match your party size, and utilise procedural generation to present a different set of challenges each time. Of course, calling them "Raids" isn't the most exciting thing in the world, so we're proud to announce that come January, you will be facing the perils of the Chambers of Xeric.

This weekend, we’d like your help to try out the Raiding Party Finder for January’s Raids launch. Old School hasn’t had anything like this before – the Chambers of Xeric will be Old School’s first ever content to generate itself on demand like this, and it’s also the first time anyone’s tried to write a party grouping system in the Old School game engine.

To be honest, it’s been complicated, and we’d be very grateful if you could take a few minutes out of your ‘scaping to help us try it out. So we’ve turned w378 into a tournament world. While you’re on there, you’ll play on a test profile, and nothing you do will be saved over logout, so it can’t harm your account if anything goes wrong in the load-test.

You can use the recruitment board to form your own party, advertise it to others and manage its members. The board will also list parties that other players are hosting, so you can see their members and join the team.

While we’re saving the challenges of the dungeon for the full launch, you can still embark on a foray into the Chambers when you’ve finished recruiting. This will give us a chance to load-test the map-generation algorithm, while you get to explore the eerie atmosphere of the Chambers of Xeric.

Remember, this is a load test, and the content you’re playing is unfinished. The reason we’re doing this is that it’s our best shot of ironing out stability issues with the party system before the full launch, so you are cordially invited to get out there and try to break it! And, if you succeed, right-click the ‘Report’ button and fill in the bug report form to tell the testers exactly how you did it.

We expect to leave the load test open over this weekend, if it’s stable enough, taking it out on Buy RS Gold. It’s restricted to one world because the load test will be most effective with lots of players logged in, rather than spreading the load over multiple worlds.
