Loving the new year's lag. I'd love to quest for tokens but not in this lag, I have other things I could do~

I can't understand, for the life of me, how is it possible that this is STILL happening. It's been like this since I first came here, 11+ years ago. :(
It was fine in the morning (1a.m.) but is absolutely terrible now - my evening -, when I always do my quests :-(
edit: hit by 522s
btw: Why does the downtime message always send us to the status page, which tells us, everything is and has been fine - which it always does. I mean, when the Squirrel says, Subeta is down and refers to the status page, something obviously must be wrong?!
Questioning is impossible, forums need lot of time to open or don´t open at all. I postponed my Sylvester games until tomorrow because of all the lag yet today, we are not able to play, too. That´s really sad.

It's painful. I think the only thing that let me finish my quests is sheer force of will.
I come back to this lag that has been here for years, after not being on here for almost a year
[tot=kita]
this is how it goes with new events though. everyone rushing on at once to do what they need to and get what they need to. i suspect the lag will die down in a day or two once everyone's gotten what they need.
Except the site SHOULD be able to handle event traffic and it did in the past (2000 users online achievement, I'm surely not the only one who has it? And it was playable. Get 2000 users online now and it would probably just die for good.) So, event isn't and shouldn't be an excuse.
Site and forums are a bit laggy today. Not unbearable but the forums take a few tries to load topics.
For me - it still comes and goes - but everything is doable right now - except loading forums. It took 20 hard-refreshes and right-click-opening in a new tab a dozen times to see what was new on this thread.
As long as I can quest I'm fine knock on wood
The forums and wardrobe are unbearable right now. 20+ minutes of constant refreshing for some threads to show and constant resetting in the wardrobe too T_T I hope staff is working hard to fix this, because it's very disheartening.
crosses fingers that staff has an easy time figuring out the problem and can fix it!
I haven't been on in almost 3 years, and I honestly don't remember the lag being this bad. I also haven't quite figured out the wardrobe fix, even after clearing my browsers cache and making sure all my plug-ins are updated, but I don't appear to be alone in this one. I hope the staff is able to sort everything out soon!
Edit: I was able to get my avatar working again! Not 100% sure how, but Im happy with whatever I did! :D
It's pretty laggy today. Was on until 3am this morning and went to bed. Didn't experience lag then, but now it's just super laggy everywhere. Turned off my shop notifications because sometimes if I get high traffic, it lags me out a little bit. Still been lagging with them off.
[edit] Now it has gotten to be a bit inconvenient for me. I am unable to do some things I normally do every day and I have yet to try questing because it's seems to have gotten worse. Thanks for all your work though!
It's kind of laggy today, both forums and elsewhere. I also noticed that items tend to be slow when moving, even during early morning when less than 500 users are on. Could it be the new year event and tokens moving around?
Wardrobe, hovers, page loading ...all so slow. A bit frustrating >_<
I dunno what is up but the site has been very laggy and stalling on some pages for the past hour?
