Hey guys, as our systems start to come back online, you might notice a few bumps here or there, as we start bringing everything back online.

What happened, is our memcached stack failed miserably, but in a really, incredibly sneaky way. From all of our tools and monitoring services, it appeared that memcache was still online and working, just slower than usual, which happens when we have a lot of users doing things that require caching (such as liking avatars on the last day of an event!)

However, what was secretly happening is memcache was "holding" connections, and a server can only have a certain number of open connections running at a time. This includes apache (our web server!), and other services that we run to make Subeta run as smoothly (cough) as possible.

This meant that our web server (and even memcache, trying to steal more connections!) couldn't make the connections to the database, or the other services, and serve pages to you guys, the end user. We couldn't see what was causing that problem, but now we've established that it is memcache and have (hopefully) fixed the problem, and are now in the process of bringing everything back online.

THANK YOU for being so patient with us today, I know that it can be stressful trying to get around the site while something like this is happening, but we really appreciate you sticking with us.

Update: For those of you interested, here is a link to what the graph looked like, when things got seriously bad yikes!

The Summer in Centropolis Human Avatar Contest will end at 3:00 PM Subeta time tomorrow, July 8th. Voting will end promptly at that time and the committee will start to tally votes!

Summer in Centropolis Chance Bags will not retire and will be in the Cash Shop until the end of summer.

The Crystal Shop will now display a sold out message if there is nothing in stock. Earlier this morning it caused some confusion among users as to whether or not the shop was cleared or just sold out. The notice should help! :)

Are you a fan of bows? Then you\'ll really enjoy the Cash Shop\'s newest line of headwear.

Hopefully you\'ve already collected the Rosey Chapeaus, Pencil Skirts, and Loose-fitting Tops because they have all been retired. :(
