Makes it hard to quest and hope for NY tokens.
RIP Mom, I love & miss you more than you know. Tell Dede hi.
Ocean Conservation Namibia on YouTube... they do good work! https://www.ocnamibia.org
Subeta why you grant me extra quests, then lag so bad it takes 20 minutes to do 7?
We're aware and working on it :)

Just got this doing Cinthia quests FYI.
- this may a separate issue - but wanted to pass this on. I received this error when trying to go to the Free Shop
Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/1040): Too many connections in /var/app/current/include/class/database.new.php on line 8 Warning: mysqli_set_charset() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, boolean given in /var/app/current/include/class/database.new.php on line 18 SQL Error connection
Okay, looking into it.

- I know you’re working on it, and I feel like a broken record for continuing to complain about it. It’s just so hard to get anything done and I feel like it’s getting worse and worse instead of better ? I know we’re not the easiest crowd. hugs
I really hope this goes through! fingers crossed
Somebody (or maybe multiple people) was spamming the Potion Lottery a ridiculous amount. Like, enough to overload the database. It was straining the database significantly more than quests and user shops were, which is... impressive, to say the least.
There is now a timer on Potion Lottery ticket purchases.

Haha, I would have never thought the Potion Lottery, of all things... Guess those new features has been implementing to help you guys pinpoint where the errors and stuff are coming from have been useful. :P
Oh the statistic tools we have now are wonderful! He just upgraded it today so we can finally see exact database queries and exactly what lines of code they come from. So I have high hopes that we'll be able to make much more effective progress on this moving forward.

I'm still getting some of these errors, though not nearly as much. Lag/slow of course is still going on but I expect that with 1700 users online.
Keep getting the error Rogue posted and 404 errors. What is going on?!
For the first error, it's exactly what it says: "Too many connections" The database is getting overloaded with connections.
The second error happens when a new server starts to spin up (extra servers spin up automatically as site traffic increases), but the load balancer sends you to the server before the server is fully ready. Usually the 404 errors only last for a minute or two at most.

Potion lottery bombing someone doesn't usually break the site that badly/for that long though?
There are only 55k tickets bought so far for the draw - that's relatively tame when it's someone's birthday, tbh.

Yeah, I know right? It was a very "wtf" moment for me lol

SQL Error INSERT INTO user_items (id,userid,itemid) VALUES ('',550845,)
and quest items go missing!
What page did you get the error on/what were you doing at the time? Was this a random error or is it happening consistently for you?

I was trying to complete Cinthia's quest. It happened multiple times in a row. Then I tried quitting the quest and completing another one but same thing happened again.
