Clarification on Free Shop + Lag

January 27, 2020 10:29 am

Just some clarification on the lag and free shop:

We fixed the original problem of the Free Shop yesterday, where the database wasn’t clearing out items that had already been grabbed so there were thousands of rows of phantom items clogging up the DB.

This early morning, however, was a different issue! There weren’t enough users to grab items out of the shop so the shop just kept adding more without eventually clearing like other restocking shops. I cleared out well over 6,000 items when I was able to get on today! We’re working on a solution for this today so it doesn’t happen again tonight.

I know how frustrating this is for y’all, and we’re working as quickly as possible to fix these issues so everyone can enjoy grabbing a cool item or two.

There's a chance to grab great items you might not otherwise get a chance to own (including collection & cash) so some lag imo and having to refresh a while, is worth it, it's FREE.

Thanks for the update.

That being said, I just watched a restock sell out within 30 seconds. Just seems like there should be a happy medium between having items in stock, and crashing the site completely.

I have no idea how people are getting multiple cash shop/collection etc of items. I just keep getting 10k and under stuff xD My luck is horrid apparently!

Thank you for the updates and for all the staff does to at least make an attempt to fix the broken parts of the site! I'm sure it's more frustrating on your guys' part.

You all do such a good job, there are glitches that are bound to happen - as with anything. c: Thank you for the opportunity for some free items and for continuing to put up with the glitches (and negative people) so that we can enjoy this site.

With all due respect... I've been a long time member and I simply don't understand how it's possible that in all these years these things keep happening over and over and over again. It's like a hellish cycle which keeps repeating. I know you're doing your best, but since there are still such big issues with things like that, maybe something else should be done? :( It sucks immensely to see the same or similar issues over and over again.

Oh, the night before there were a good 10,000 rows of phantom items (ones that had already been grabbed) + actual items in there. So many things to delete!

Thank you for ALL your hard work. I remember hiccups and headaches in the past years, including a week long broken site. You've all worked so hard to fix the site and keep everyone updated on your progress.Keep up the amazing work, but don't burn yourselves out or stress yourselves so much that your health suffers! We can wait. :)
