A Very Unfortunate Downtime

1 Week Gold Account Medal




Happy Luminaire to all timezones! For those of you that checked Subeta earlier today, you may have noticed an issue in the way that Luminaire presents went out. Unfortunately, an incorrect script was used to process the many gifts given by generous Subetans, and they were given out via the (much oudated) "stocking” method for many users. This caused an influx of sidebar events rather than the (much preferred) method of seeing your gifts gathered on one page. More importantly, and more detrimentally, it caused some gifts to go out more than once - a big problem for things like Custom Wearables or CSC cards!



We've spent the last few hours trying to figure out the best route to take. We considered manually deleting items, but we couldn't be certain which items were legitimately sent in multiples. We were looking at doing a rollback, but it's about the worst day of the year for that, (not that there's EVER a good time for a rollback) and wasn't possible to set up until tomorrow, meaning the site may have been offline for up to 48 hours. We obviously didn't want this to happen - not at a time of year where you want to be well-wishing your friends on the site!



So we've come to this: we trust you guys, and we don't think it's fair for you to lose any effort you've put into the site because of a mistake on our end. So we're asking you this: to please delete the items you may have received via the "stocking events". (HERE is a handy link to your events page in case you want to keep track of what you received)We ask you to take some time to enjoy the holiday while we work on our end to resolve this as quickly as we can. We will be updating you as soon as possible (this could mean it might take a few days) with the link to the Trees so you can open your gifts properly. This is a special time of year for everybody - including the staff - and getting things like this resolved is a lot more difficult for us.



If you did not receive any stocking related events, you’re in the clear and don’t have to worry about deleting any items. You’ll just have to wait for the trees to open, which we will make a separate news post about!



Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience or upset caused, and as a goodwill gesture, you can now get a 1 Week Gold Account Medal via the free gift. We are also giving each user 250csc (added to your on-hand credits), putting a few extra gifts under the tree, and until Monday ALL quests are weekend quests.



Happy Luminaire, thank you for continuing to support Subeta, and here's to a slightly less chaotic New Year!

Uh-oh, it looks like a bunch of people donated their stuff to the donation center instead of deleting it. Maybe clear it?

Well, thanks for keeping us informed. Guess that means I'll have to wait a few days to see what's under my tree. But at least things are being worked on & I get a free week of GA out of all this. Thankfully, I didn't get any stocking events so nothing to sort of there on my end. Thank you for taking the time out of your holiday celebrations to fix this very frustrating issue. You guys are awesome!
Demeter
As far as I can see, I don't see any stocking events, so I guess I'm in luck c:
Thank you staff, for doing your best on this holiday. We sure appreciate everything you guys do <3
Happy holidays, dear Subeta Team! (and everyone else, of course ^_^) Hope you all can celebrate it well, for those who are celebrating.
And thank you for the GA and CSC!

This is going to hurt. I received a bunch of boosters and amulets and now I have to delete them. Oh well, I'll get them back. Thanks for all the hard work and the CSC.
jKat
Yay I missed Subeta. Your team does a wonderful job you actually give a damn. Great decision guys I'm sure the majority of users will be honest, after all your giving us an awesome gift in return. I'm so glad I found this site. Mistakes happen sometimes, I hope the team still had a great Christmas despite this. Big Hugs.
Luka
I did not get any presents nor events pertaining to those. Is this alright? Or should I have them already?
Weena
no need for the gold medal and csc but thanks anyway ^^ I never get presents so I don't have to delete anything lol
just2b
You guys rock Thanks (and sorry) for working on Christmas. HUGS
Natsume
Oh man, I just scrolled down. LOL. Thanks you guys ;w; Unfortunate something like this had to happen today of all days, but thanks for all the work you do!
Gray
Oh, Subeta. I ain't even mad. I'm more surprised when there isn't downtime. I totally vote for a nostalgia hour of downtime each year. Just so we know we're on the right site. ;]

On a more serious note: thanks for working on Christmas!
Shelbi
This REALLy stinks as my first lumi. I was so pumped for everyone to see all the nice things I worked all year to get them!

BUT I do appreciate the staff trying to fix it and make up even though it was out of their control in some way. So I won't be too much of a Debbie downer. Here's to hoping to a fast fix and happy lumi!

WE LOVE YOU SUB STAFF!!! TIS OKAYYY! <3
Francine
Oh yeah I forgot about quickstock! thanks!
Amane
@Amber Wonderful, thank you so much!!
Sekhmet
I just had to delete 250 items, including 3 Swashbuckles. THE PAIN
Fray

METROID
Thank you for the free 250 CSC! I almost wrote in a ticket asking if this was a glitch or not. (thank you @Amber for letting us know otherwise!)
Kevin
@Amber
Can we get an evil stocking challenger to spend the free 250 csc on?
Thank you and everyone else by the way :)
nier

Julie
Aw thank you for your hard work on this holiday day. Thank you for your generous gift of a week gold medal.
We appreciate all you do for us. I was not on so I'll go check my account.
Smugleaf
It is a Lumineve miracle! :D
Natsume
I appear to have more CSC than I had before.. I believe 250 was added to my account. Was this intentional? LOL
Also I have no idea how to even open my tree gifts, so I think I'm alright?
Rah STAFF
@Fate - good thing! You don't have to delete anything, you just have to wait until we open up the trees again :)
luv

Amae

I'm confused.

Thank you guys for all that you do to make this site work. Just sorry to hear you had to work on it during your holiday time.

Thanks for the free week, it was very generous.

Happy Holidays. <3

Cresenta
Nvm, reread and it makes a bit more sense now. -_- feels stupid Thanks for getting the site back up.
Lirikai
Thanks, you guys!
Amane
I'm also assuming a separate post will go out when tree gifts are accessible...? I don't seem to have any unnatural events, so I didn't get hit with the stocking method. :0
Kaje
so sad because luminaire is the extent of my holiday celebration. thanks for the things making up for it...such a disappointment, though, especially to those of us who aren't having a busy holiday with family and friends.
Fate
I wasn't on site when all this happened, so from what I can see, I have no events whatsoever. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? LOL
Cardamom
Thank you all for working on this holiday, not something you could have predicted and you did admirably to try and fix it! <3
