Is it a bug that we no longer get the red event button on the tabs in our browsers(Firefox for me), or is that intentional?
- It was removed intentionally. There was a banner a week or so ago that said they had disabled live events (the red icon and the bubbles that pop up by your sidebar) while they tried to figure out why the site was lagging.
It's also posted on the status site:
I don't know how long it will be until it's re-enabled though. The site's been a lot more stable, but I haven't seen any updates.

Thank you very much for the information! I never saw the banner for some reason.
I was wondering too. Have they not even found the cause of lag yet?? I hope it comes back soon
Any chance on these being brought back now that the event is over?
The lag has been completely gone for me - the site's been working great!
I would love to have the live events back, but personally I'd be willing to do without them for longer if it means we can keep playing without lag. I hope staff is still working on a solution, I'm just saying that I'm okay with being patient if they need more time.
