This isn't how the site normally is. Something broke back before December and it's been "under investigation" since.

Mega laggy right now!
Thanks for the reports! We are still watching this constantly even if we don't reply here. Recently, our issue is that sometimes a single server instance will go down (which explains why it'll be laggy for some users but perfectly fine for others at the same time) - we're working on a more proper fix from what we have now.

The lag is really bad for me at the moment, and has been steadily getting worse. I keep getting pages that never load.
I got on here about an hour ago to try to do my quests and the lag/hanging pages have been horrendous. Sometimes I can force them to load faster by reloading the page but that's not at all an ideal solution most of the time (it has resulted in buying extra items from shops and it totally screws up battles). I know this is being worked on but I sure hope it can be fixed in time for me to do the rest of my quests...five hours should have been way more than enough time to get them done, but at this rate, I'm not sure...
Trying to quest but sometimes the pages are taking several reloads which can often just mess up the quest where I've no idea if I even got a reward or not. I'm way late to quest today so I'm hoping I can get them done but I'm not optimistic.

"Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the orphan." - Isaiah 10:1-2
The lag is absolutely awful tonight. Trying to do quests is near impossible, the pages just continue to try to load, even after many refreshes. So frustrating. :(
I don't know if it has anything to do with users on line but if so - Users Online: 863
For the most part I can move from page to page okay but when I try to manipulate items, such as read a book, the whole site locks up. Not sure if this is because of the lag or a whole new issue.
i can't finish my quests for the night the lag is so bad >_<
running fine - stalling - running fine - page hangs forever - error 425
Thanks for the update! Does it even help any and do you want us to keep posting our experience? Or should we just simply stop ;-)
I couldn't even do quests yesterday, and can barely do anything again today. :-(
10 hours later and it's still rinse and repeat bare the Cloudflare error.
Having a great time attempting to do my quests for the day.

I ended up buying New Year Tokens the last days to stock up because doing quests was mostly impossible for me. I really love Subeta and hope you´ll find a solution soon. Participating in forum things is so tedious, too. The wardrobe needs a lot of time for loading, too.

The site was fine earlier but it's horrendously laggy now (1.15 pm UK time)
I feel like I can navigate the site normally when just wandering around doing daily things (Ruffie Raffle, Bathhouse, Hustler, etc.), but as soon as I start trying to do quests, EVERYTHING locks up and won't load. There are barely over 500 people online right now, and I can't get my quests done because it's taking so long.
This is really frustrating - I wasn't able to finish Ian's quests for the Dungarde because of it and have to wait until next year for the achievements, and now I'm missing out on New Year's Coins, which are over in a week. I was really hoping to finish buying the plushies and beanbags I need from the New Year's shop this year.
[edit] Aww, thank you to the sneaky person who sent me a stack of New Year's Coins :) It's really appreciated - I was able to grab for my Plushie Collection!
Ohmygoodness! I just got four more stacks of coins. New Year's shopping spree! Thank you very much.
This lag is terrible. It's near impossible to do quests. I have to hit reload almost constantly. If I don't do these quests, I lose 3 to 4 million and between 75 and 85 New Years Tokens. Tokens can't be 'made up'. The forums and wardrobe are just as insane to use with the lag. I know you are working on it. The lag is just seriously interfering with the ability to play this site.
