Administrator Alpha revealed the news of "the upcoming beta test," which struck like a bolt of lightning on the majority of forum users online, sparking even more heated discussions in the various groups.
The group now has almost 3,000 members, and the activity level is shockingly high. This news created a ripple effect, causing messages in the group to flood at a rate so fast that normal people couldn't possibly keep up—basically operating at 999 posts every 10 seconds.
In such a situation, trying to chat was impossible.
As a result, several major guilds started discussions in their private groups, while some well-connected "digital sprites" kept setting up new smaller groups to spread the joy of the upcoming update.
To exaggerate a bit, the forum was as lively as a festival celebration.
