Missed the fun... not because I was asleep or anything, but because the site was always going down! Oh well.

For the people in Europe complaining, it's not like the shop was full of absolutely amazing things.

Well that sucks.
I made it to the shop once yesterday but the site went down immediately after.
I have sads.

Somehow I doubt this was the case, it was most likely that they needed a lot of people online consistently to keep tweaking the site/sever configurations and this was the only sure fire way to do it. Now that they know that the problem is basically a hardware issue, they need to take a little bit of that pressure of the servers and had to pause the giveaway. The staff doesn't do anything on purpose to be unfair, they just don't tend to explain why they do the things they do... and when all people want to do is bitch and moan about life being unfair, I can totally understand as the whiners tend not to listen anyways. Anyways, thank you for the few common things I got, I can't wait for the server to be repaired so that I can be greedy again :P
i feel as tho this is a sucking up method for the site running so crappily and all the nonsense we're being drug thru for the new server...

The giveaway wasnt actually to celebrate anything. I believe Keith said it was done just so they could finish tweaking the site to handle a large load of users. (which the giveaway brought in).
Thats likely why it didnt last very long. :)

"Would have been nice to open shop when you can actually play on the site without the sql errors every other refresh."
Agrees!
The site is running nicely this morning (Tuesday) which is really great!

My daughter was on last night and I knew I was going to miss it. This only having one computer and her taking over all night is really getting in my way.

Aww... it was kinda late (past 4am) and with page loading issues, so only managed to get an item. Thanks anyway! ^^

I missed it too because I'm in the UK and I was in bed at the time. As we're told to check back later in case it starts again I'm guessing that this was a short test because of the server move.

I think that this would have been far better to run when the site wasn't lagging really, really badly before the giveaway even occurred - I tried to get some stuff last night and the site was so slow, it was next to pointless. And now it's over.
Oh well, I guess.

It told me I had to wait before grabbing something from the free shop when I hadn't even taken anything yet! 8(

A giveaway is great. But sure wish they'd waited until Friday and run it through the weekend instead of starting on Monday when I have to be gone all day every day. Hope it goes through Sunday.

Awesome! However, free shop + lag makes me want to bang my head against a brick wall. It's lagging so much (literally 2-3 minutes to load that page) that by the time I see something and click it, of course it's sold out. I've tried about 20 times and only managed to get two items.

I've never had the site tell me 'Item was previously purchased' before :/ And then tell me I had to wait to get a different one even though I got nothing.

Are you guys doing this because of the move "to the clouds" and the slowness it caused? If so, that's rather considerate and much appreciated.
Hell, either way it's appreciated! ;D

For some reason it won't let me get anything from the shop! D: It says I already have and need to wait, but I haven't..

Awesome... although I tried to get something, it was sold out, so I clicked on something else and it wouldn't let me get it. xD

I can't use the price and remove button in my shop. It doesn't work. Also, I can't use the "wear outfit" feature in my wardrobe.
Is this a problem other users are having too, or is it just me? I'm using Firefox 3.6.17.

Thanks for the giveaways, but...when I tried to go, it took forever to load, (literally two minutes) and it's empty even though it restocked just now? and one minute ago?

I love the fact that you're doing a giveaway and most of the time I appreciate it, but is this really helping the site in any way? I can't even get to the Free Shop, let alone get items from it. I understand that it would be nice if the site carried on as normal, but sometimes it just doesn't work. It's a nice gesture, though. I'm trying not to come across as rude, as I don't want to be rude.
