I originally made this into a ticket but was told to post it here. :)
Two accounts that I had been watching cleared early. I made tickets for one, reporting it to an admin who was incredibly kind but, seeing as they weren't a programmer, they really didn't know how to help. I closed the ticket and didn't think much of it, assuming that I had just gotten the wrong date.
However, it happened again yesterday. An account was set to clear today 11/11/14 (I know, because I /ALWAYS/ copy the dates directly from the account to remove room for errors) and when I woke up this morning, the account was already 'cleared' and some of the pet names were taken.
It seems that there are others that know about this glitch, having used it to their advantage or witnessed this so I know I'm not alone. I'm willing to provide the proof that I have but I will only do so through sMail as I really don't want to call out the users/pets in question or create any enemies for myself. :(
I just wanted to see what is causing this issue because...it seems to be random. There are SOME accounts that I've watched in the past, they have cleared on time. Others? Not so much. :( It seems pretty random.
Thanks for reading this! ^^
Could you either post or sMail me the name of the account or pets that were cleared early? I can try to take a look - wondering if it cleared a day early and if the counter on the site was incorrect (because we adjust +1 days for accounts that would technically clear the next day)
I made a thread about this back in September when I caught a pet name the day before it was meant to clear. I was getting nervous after hearing that they don't clear at the right time, and when I checked it it was already open (the username is Destro, I'm the only person that snagged one of their pet names since they cleared)
