Subeta has a lot of different features, but by far the most intensives are the wardrobe and the forums. Those in particular are grouped together with their own servers on Subeta V2, with more memory and ability to spin up for events and so forth. The issues you're seeing right now are related to the Subeta V2 servers running out of memory and not tripping the notifications when that happens, and thus not clearing the data automatically (this kind of situation is also the reason why sometimes pings don't go through, or shop events don't show up for people). Keith cycled things manually the other day and was trying to figure out why it's not handling running out of memory correctly, but Subeta's infrastructure is bespoke and it's going to take a bit more pinning down. So this is in progress! I'm going to be updating the status page as well. Thank you!
EDIT 10/10 2:04pm Subeta time: Update:
Keith is going to rebuild the API servers entirely from a backup, which will take about 15 minutes but should improve things rather than just patch the issue.
EDIT: 10/10 8:06pm Subeta time
In terms of what was going on, there were issues with the servers' local cache directories filling up, so we disabled that while investigating. Because of that, it was making a request for every image on the avatar (separate piece of clothing) and Amazon started rate limiting the requests thinking they were fraudulent. Restarting the servers wasn't helping because Keith needed to go into an account setting and confirm that Subeta hadn't been hacked by a botnet or anything. However, it should be fixed now!

:star: Bug Catching ends at the start of Morostide, so don't forget to check in with Chimalma while you can.
:star: I know some of you are just itching to get your bhakoru and I'm very sorry we didn't get it out last month! It hasn't been forgotten, just pushed to the side a bit while various issues on site were being worked on. It'll be dino time soon, my friends.
:star: The conclusion to Liara'stakeover campaign will happen before Morostide. This is not a plot, just the last bit to the last round of not friendly/cash shop challengers. Don't remember Liara? Familiarize yourself with this post here.

A temple attendant ushers you all up onto a grand marble balcony. Shinwa is waiting for you, a pained smile on her face. After greetings and introductions, Esther recounts everything: the possessions, the monstrous creations, the mysterious identity of the tormentor, and finally, Princess Liara's justifications for her entire rampage. Shinwa silently considers the entire tale.
"So many people suffering... and all of it just to get back at me," the goddess says quietly.
"But Liara is lying, right?" Victoria asks, "You didn't just boot her out for no reason."
"Does it matter? I sensed a petty tyrant with great power and little compassion, and I wanted to act before that power grew out of control. She certainly wouldn't consider it fair."
"Ah," Vanya chimes in, "having that angry voice filling my head with such thoughts, I am thinking you did ze right thing." The rest of the group nods as Shinwa walks over to the balcony rail.
"I thought so, too," she replies, "Yet I have spent years doing ‘the right thing,' and every time other people suffer anyway, sometimes even more than if I'd never intervened at all," Shinwa leans on the balustrade and hangs her head, "I am exiled to this planet because I ‘did the right thing.'"
The goddess looks out at the desert and the approaching army before sighing heavily. Without glancing up at the group, she turns and heads back into her temple. The great stone doors rumble as they begin to close behind her.
Confusion washes over the group. A few people begin to protest, willing to fight on the goddess's behalf. Shinwa turns to face them.
"Go home. Please," she says, as the temple doors thunder shut.
Note: The Possessed Diamond Shards from the Cash Shop unlocks all three challengers.

Like last year, every single previous Jaxon related minion has a chance of being found.
This is the only wave of items for the Pumpkin Patch.
Just a reminder, for every 5 people to trick or treat at your house, you’ll get an item as well! Use the following sCode in your forum signature or status so people can easily trick or treat at your house:
Code:
There is a link on the news sidebar for Random ToTing. This link does expire, and when that happens just hit the "Random Trick or Treat" button on the page and you should be good to go! Random Trick or Treating gives you a shorter wait time of 5 minutes during most of the holiday and 3 minutes on the last day.
This is wave one of two for ToT items. In the second wave, we will be retiring some older items out of the pool so y'all have a better chance at the new stuff. ;)
Morostide lasts until 11:59pm on October 31. The Morostide Forums will be open until November 5 to finish up any spooky contests.
As if this isn't enough, our more frightening challengers will be coming in waves soon!
Last, but not least, tomorrow there will be a post going into more detail about the various parts of the holiday for those returning or are new!

You can fill this card up twice! You will get the same amount of points for filling out each card, so in total you have a chance of getting 120LP. You can spend these points in the Loyalty Shop.
If you’re unsure if you’re on your first or second card, check out your current level. Levels 0-10 are for the first card, 11-20 are for the second card.

...we've come to talk about it again.
Y'all may have noticed site issues the last few days around the wardrobe and forums, basically the New Subeta side of things. This is because the local cache for the API servers is filling up in a way Keith hasn't really seen before and he still needs to figure out the cause.
The API servers are the servers that convey information between New Subeta and legacy Subeta and their caching is an example of a process meant to make the site faster going too far -- it caches all of the images & avatars as users make them (and also caches a version of each avatar loaded) instead of generating them from scratch. These servers have been up for a little bit, so they've taken on a lot of cached images, and once an event like Morostide hits those caches fill up extra fast.
Keith is spinning up a much bigger web server to handle the load, which as a pro should be taking over by the time this message posts and you should see some improvement. As a con, that much server space and traffic is expensive to upkeep so he's going to keep investigating to figure out something more efficient.
We know this is frustrating, this is a fun time of year and we still have so much planned! We're going to keep working on delivering more treats than tricks, promise.

We were hoping that deploying more servers would help with some of the caching issues and it's been a partial success, but a new issue of 403 Forbidden pages is popping up for New Subeta. We are still investigating, but we actually think this is related to the SSL certificate update.
The other thing going on is in regards to legacy Subeta and we hope that should be resolved sooner; our SSL certificates (what secures our pages as https) were updating, so if you noticed broken images for legacy items that was the server dropping out while it got resolved. That can be fixed by closing down your browser and re-opening it, which will let your browser re-authenticate the token. If you are having trouble logging back in after you close down your browser completely and restart it, try using Subeta in incognito mode. Some people need it, other people don't, but we are still working on why.
To elaborate on what is going on, SSL certificates are a security measure that basically verify to your browser that the site is what it says it is and that it's actually loading the data from the right source, among other things; it's a very long list. Your browser loads one at the start of the session, and keeps a copy of it at the time. When the SSL certificates updated, they no longer matched what your browser had stored so for your own safety things weren't loading because they didn't match up with what the browser expected. Think of it like an office badge that lets you into a restricted building and then between one day and the next, they change the layout of the badge and need you to turn in the old one before they issue a new one and let you back into the building. Restarting your browser reloads the SSL certificate or, for this analogy, turns in your badge and replaces it with a new one.
I have both of these noted on the Subeta Server Status page (https://subeta.notion.site/Subeta-Server-Status-0c1b07f26d3e4542bd322705d1a41125), although I will be updating it shortly.
It's a less-than-ideal wave of news, we realize, but I did want to let y'all know that Keith is working on it. Thank you to everyone enjoying spooky Subeta content and community!

If you relish the challenge of cursed pet ownership, get yourself a nightmare popoko, graveyard qrykee, or graveyard noktoa today. Maybe stock up on some med kits first. Happy Morostide!
