Autotraining!



Just a quick note to let you all know that autotraining is back up and running again. All of the pets currently in the training queue have had their end time set to 24 hours from now so that you all get your full day's worth! :)

Repeating what Keith has already said, thanks sososo much for being patient with us while we get everything worked out! ❤️

Server Issues



I\'m sure everyone has noticed a few bugs around the site the past few days. Things aren\'t working properly in relation to time (like auto training, or gold accounts expiring, or quests resetting) or any other number of things.

What happened is our development server crashed. This is the server where all of our tools are kept (including all the files that run the cron which makes time tick on Subeta) as well as gives us (the programmers) the ability to edit the site while it\'s live.

The server essentially crashed and burned, one of the hard drives is completely unreachable and had to be replaced. Unfortunately, it took awhile to be replaced, and it meant that we have to do an entire OS reload on that server. We\'ve lost months of work (because our top secret projects are kept on that server, and off the other webservers) between all of the developers, as well as access to those tools I was talking about above.

We\'re going to be spending the weekend trying to get things working. There are two things that we are going to be doing.

1.

Priming our new hosting solution at Rackspace for a move soon. The type of hosting we have at Rackspace should prevent something like this from happening in the future. We\'re also now taking preventive measures to keep our code in multiple (safe!) places to ensure that we don\'t lose tons of work in the future.

We anticipate moving to Rackspace sometime in the next two weeks, which will mean (at most, hopefully!) a day of downtime. Once we are closer to that, I will fill you in on the exact date/time that we intend to switch.

2.

Getting our development server up and running on our existing hosting. Once we\'ve got this all worked out, we should have the cron running again, and be able to make changes to the site. Right now we can, it\'s just complicated and annoying.

SO FOR THE GOOD NEWS, RIGHT?!



We are going to be extending the Masquerade dancing until Monday. At that point, we should have firm control over the situation. And it gives you a few more days to collect those trinkets ;).

As always, thank you guys so much for being patient with us. This is just as frustrating (if not more) for us as it is for you. We ❤ you!

Plushie Parlour: Dragarth Plushies



Rumor has it that the dragarth plushies from the Plushie Parlour have been revamped and have even received new colors.

Pet Clearing



Right now we are having issues with our development server, which may mean that we have to move back the pet clearing until it can be fixed.

Right now we are still scheduled to start at 6:00PM, however we may have to start at 6:30 or later. Watch this news post and our twitter for up to date information!

5:52 Still waiting on someone to restart the server. Once it's back up we can hopefully get things in motion to start the clearing. Still hoping to start at 6 :)

5:57 Alright it looks like the server isn't going to come up in time. We're officially moving it back to 6:30.

ACTUALLY we are going to go ahead with it at 6:05. We are clearing accounts and pet names at 6:05.

Clearing has started :)

Pet Slot Update!


Pet Slot Update!





Exciting news, we've updated the way that pet slots work! Here are the changes that we've made:
* The limit when using the Mystical Donadak Plushie and Mystical Montre Plushie is still 20 pet slots. That means the initial 5 slots all users get, the 5 slots that you get from a gold account, and 10 through the plushies.
* You can now gain unlimited slots with the Loyalty Pet Slot Totem. Using the totem will no longer count toward the 'hard' limit imposed by the plushies, which means that you can use your totem any time and it not count toward the same limit as the mystical plushies!
* You either have 0, 1 or 2 free slots depending on how many slots you had prior to this change.
* Like always, you must have your gold account active to use extra slots!
