Apology from Yoshi

SE should be the ones stress testing WAY before early access. They could also do the smart thing and do public beta tests like every other MMO does.

Pls no. It's a major thing many people I know- including myself, enjoy about this game.

Beta servers are terrible stress test sources for an MMORPG. For that goal, beta tests they're only good for smaller things, like FPS games and others like it, where your games are isolated to individual matches and reset for the next. The primary reason why it's no good here, is because you'd need a similar sample size to the games normal population. Or in the case of a launch, the games launch population. That pretty much never happens on any beta for an MMORPG.
