MTG Arena developers conducted a stress-test on April, 6. The point was to check if servers can hold a huge load. So testers were invited massively to make server load as high as possible. Test lasted for 8 hours and showed that servers are holding fine. Here is what official twitter says:
The stress test has ended, but the effects of it may still be seen over the weekend. We’ve had MANY new players join us today, so don’t be surprised if you see
#MTGArena acting abnormally. Hopefully our servers will look more like Lannery and less like Nissa as everyone plays!
Such test can be indication of open beta coming up. If developers are working on server stability on high loads, soon we hopefully will see new phase of beta expansion.
