I'm going to assume you're not a complete fucking retard and can understand the words you are reading, so I'll spell it out for you. The stress test that was done a MONTH prior to launch was woefully lackluster. They only kept the server up for like 30 minutes, and the playerbase capped at around 1850, which was within their expected parameters for the launch of around 2k people. They never even expected that much people to begin with, the server was supposed to be a fun little niche thing for people looking for something different.
Now in the month prior to the launch, the Discord users went from ~15k to 50k+, with active accounts of around 25k users. If you cannot see how much of a fucking colossal increase this is, it is literally THE largest private server launch of ALL TIME. The devs absolutely fucked themselves by not running another stress test after seeing their userbase go through the fucking ceiling and that is completely their fault on them. But any other pserver would have fucking exploded with tens of thousands of fucking retards clogging them all at once just the same, so ultimately them using an antiquated server core is a moot point. Sure, they would have probably fixed the servers much, much faster, the launch would have been FUBAR in either case.
