A reflection on the first week of Zaros!

[David]

Hello everyone,

After a hectic week I just wanted to take some time to sit and reflect on our first week online and keep everyone updated with how it has been going.

Our launch overall was a success, we had over 3000+ online a few times and have remained massive still. No server has hit these numbers in over 5 years, or even close! Thank you to everyone who kept faith and remained patient when we had hiccups coming up to this launch. 

We have been working so hard on fixing all the bugs you guys find, having 3000 real players online really tests every line of your code and we have spent a lot of time working on stability. All the developers have different jobs however the person who does the engine changes is also the developer who handles the website, so unfortunately voting and hiscores have taken a backseat while the server stability was being worked on but we are expecting to push both out very shortly!

Here is a list of our changes since our launch

Congrats to who got promoted! Glad to see the server booming with popularity. Can't wait to see my name up there after some hard work.

Despite the launch delay which is usual with all RSPS launches, everything has been great so far. Great job to the Zaros staff team for putting up with this stressful week.
