The maintenance period was moved up to 6AM.

Just a few important pieces of information regarding some stuff happening tomorrow.

At midnight tonight, the festival will unfortunately be coming to a close. While all of the features will be disabled at midnight, some will be brought back up later in the day on Tuesday. These include the Wheel, the Holiday Shop, and the claiming part of Trick or Treating. They will remain available through Sunday, 11/16.

Additionally, Tickets and Baskets will remain in the Diamond Shop for the same time period.

Now, onto the maintenance. Starting at 6AM, the Site will be going offline for some software upgrades. Unfortunately, I can't really give an accurate ETA. In addition to the upgrades themselves, I'll be doing some management on some database stuff myself. My best estimate would be about 3 hours, but it could be longer - or shorter lol.

Hopefully once everything's finished, it will help the Site to run more smoothly.


Edit: All done. Upgraded a bunch of services for our server and reworked some stuff in the Database.

okay, sad for the festeval to close. :d thanks for letting us finish some stuff tomorrow though :D really appretiate it.

Yes...this Fall Festival was really awesome! I enjoyed every aspect of it :)
Im my opinion, its been the best one yet! Gonna miss it not being here when I log in again tomorrow.....

Was that 350+ online a record of online users at the same time, that Sylestia hit at a couple points?

Definitely got some periodic lag spikes when the online population gets to around that point. I guess thats where the downtime comes into play at. :)

Will be looking forward to the Winterfest/2nd Anniversary Party coming up before we know it. But its gonna take a lot of saving to restock back up on traps and such! :)

sudo apt-get upgrade eh krin?
well anyways i oughta bbe doing the same about now lol

The maintenance period was moved up and will now begin at 6AM. The estimated downtime is still 3 hours.

ah dang. It was previously at 12am my time, so I was fine with the downtime since I could go sleep (relatively) early.

Now it's 8pm my time... Guess I won't be playing much once I go home =P

All done. Upgraded a bunch of services for our server and reworked some stuff in the Database.

sorry if I'm just not updated or just dont remember some of the rules on this but it wont let me use a genetic mutator on some of my pets. Namely the ones that are direct descendants of wheel pets or are wheel pets themselves. Also some like my arctic griffi babies. I haven't used mutators on them before and it doesn't say they ever have been mutated. Just thought I should let you know in case it was a bug so maybe it could be taken care of during the update later c:
if there was an update on that though forgive me, I probably missed it as i haven't been on as much these past few months and I couldn't find anything on it in the forums ^^
