Server Downtime: 3:00 PM Estimated downtime: 3 hours
California Stress Test: We are asking that you join us in our stress test for California.
How it will work: We will need as many people as possible to join the first PTE California server in the server listing. Our goal is to fill it to capacity and we ask that users just do what they would normally do, aside from killing zombies. Drive cars, trade, shoot, jump, whatever your little heart desires. Just get in and play!!!!
Come join the discussion and live stress test on http://www.twitch.tv/artemisknives and stay tuned in for Strongholds with ArtemisKnives as well!
So many great things have been happening to the zombie filled lands of Infestation. Within the last month you have been introduced to content left and right!
This patch is no different! We are opening up our test servers for California and for Strongholds. These two features are in their respective testing phases so please make note of any and all issues associated with each one and report them in the appropriate topic in the Bugs section.

Strongholds
Players will spawn with just a backpack and empty inventory. No items can be brought in or of Stronghold Maps.
There will be absolutely NO GI Access.
Water, food and standard harvesting tools will be spawning during the Stronghold testing phase.
2x market place vendors located on the map at the tunnel and at the end of the road outside town for player convenience.
In game we will spawn pickaxes that, when equipped, will highlight objects that can be mined. Left clicking next to such object will mine it for resources. Those resources can be used to craft new stronghold items (walls, lights etc)
California Pre-Alpha Stress PTE
We are allowing GI Access
We are allowing players to bring items to the map and take items off the map.
There is a building located at the edge of the military airport which will be considered to be a safe zone. An NPC will be located in the middle hangar and provide GI access.
We have littered the map with vehicles to move about the city a little faster. That is of course, if another survivor doesn't jack you for your ride!
Food and water will be spawning throughout the city.
There will not be any zombies on the map.
