They were trolling. There are no rewards or prizes. It was a test to verify server integrity during a very stressful situation.


Also, this is why we do t have a test server. Even when something is literally advertised as a stress test, people say it failed because they didn't get in. They weren't testing to see if everyone could enter the zones. They were testing to see if the zone could be filled to capacity, the server filled to capacity, and the world visit functions overloaded without crashing the system, server, or datacenter, which seems to have been successful.
