FromSoftware has apologized for the server issues during Elden Ring Nightreign's now-finished network test and is considering another session in the future, so you may still get to play the game before launch.
Twitter has been flooded with memes of people who weren't able to connect to Nightreign's servers during its network test. I suppose this is what a network test is all about, seeing if the servers can handle all the players.
