News Archive: Week 7, 2025

whew, what a mess 😭 the auction processing script has been underpaying sP and CSC for the past few days, so i had to hit the nuclear button and reprocess every auction from that time period.

this means you might’ve gotten an event for completing an auction twice, but that does not necessarily mean you got paid twice. there were over 600 (!) auctions to fix, so doing this manually just wasn’t an option.

if you did get extra sP or CSC—congrats, keep it. if you got a duplicate custom wearable, please delete it from your inventory. we’re on the honor system here because we don’t have the resources to hunt down every duplicate.

also, auctions that ended since the last news post are still on pause while we clean up these lingering issues. there is new text on the page that lets you know the auction has ended, but hasn't processed yet.

really loving seeing this revived system in action—watching so many auctions go up and close every day has been a thrill!

I've stopped auctions from processing, temporarily, while I work out some bugs related to the auction closing.

Right now, there are problems with items being given out to winners who've won an auction. I'm going to re-process all of the auctions for the last few days to ensure that the items go out, but it will take a little bit.

Thank you for your patience, and thank you for creating thousands of auctions in the first week!

It's time for another chaotic token shop restock!

Over the next 24 hours or so, I will be restocking items randomly in the Token Shop. Don’t assume an item restocked earlier will appear in a later restock, I really am choosing at random. We are not adjusting the wait time between purchases, either, so you’ll have some hard decisions.
