Lies on stress test? (not claiming offense, just asking)

[Ancient]

2 videos show stress test - Gnomes invasion to org and "Stress test" video

I was thinking and i want to ask - since they didnt get 7k people to take part of it, and they didnt multibox 7k accounts, they just used NPCs with commads.

NPC =/= real player online

Thus thos "stress tests" are lies.

Your opinons

[whitekidney]

Those were not NPCs.
They were actual simulated players.

[DezzCadena]

It was bots... not real players.

Bot = player you know ?

[Fluffnpuff]

They were simulated players. Meaning NPCs that each had their own established connection with the server -> contributing to the server load, same way a player would.
I have no comment about how realistic these simulations in question were, since i didn't make the simulation.

I don't see why they'd do a fake stress test. They get no money out of this. Plus the explanations above.

Not only money drives people, they would do it, say, to advertise their realm?
not really hard to guess

Good this one xD

You barely ever see people lie and do some fake advertisement when money isn't involved.
You must be the american one, not understanding shiet about what they said in their video.
They told us these were bots simulating players.
