CD Projekt Red Wants You To Kill Their Servers
CD Projekt Red is gearing up to launch the closed Beta for the upcoming Witcher spinoff, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, and they need your help to stress test their servers. To do so they have issued prospective players a challenge to overload their hosting backend during the Kill the Servers! events on September 23 and September 27.
Although participating in the KtS event does not guarantee access to the closed Beta it will allow players to check out the game before that. To participate, you will still have to be signed up for the Beta as the number of access keys will be limited and distributed on September 22 on a first come, first served basis. Information about key distribution will happen through the Gwent's Facebook and Twitter accounts.
If you don't get a chance to play during the server stress test you can still try to get in on the closed Beta, which promises to have plenty of spots for everyone, and will begin on October 25, 2016.
