We are currently having network issues at our data center which is causing the communication between our servers (primarily our web server and our database servers) to be disconnected.
We are working with the datacenter to have this fixed as soon as possible!

We've decided to phase out the journals feature of the site!
You have until March 31st to backup any content in your journal and move it offsite before we remove them completely from the site.

Right now we're seeing an usual amount of traffic going into our Load Balancer, which we suspect might be from a Denial of Service attack.
Right now we are working with our server center to get this worked out. We're going to upgrade our Load Balancer (which will require downtime, I'll make an announcement when we know what time that will be!) and that should take care of the problem.
Until then we have to deal with the bumpiness :(

The chances of finding a Splittifish while fishing has been increased!
Update: If you are on Ecks team, you need to visit her again before trying to fish. She should take your fish correctly now as well ;).

Welcome back! We\'re going to be running around and fixing the various problems that come with our hardware changes (please report anything that is wrong for you!) and hope to continue the plot tomorrow.
Until then, we\'re having a small giveaway in the Free Shop!
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during the past few days. It makes staying up and staring at screens of IPs much, much easier!

Were you expecting lively, verdant, flowery glade pets already? Looks like you were gravely mistaken! Har, har har! Instead, you may have a graveyard dillema or dragarth to hold you over.

Anyway, I have some big news! I\'ve decided to close down The Bake Stop and move my business to the Underground. I was hoping that I could keep everyone happy but... hah, I guess not even cakes can do that, sometimes.
So, if you\'re a zombie (I can use that word, now!), come on down to the Underground and visit me at my new shop, Half Baked! I have all sorts of creative treats ready!
Thank you to everyone that supported The Bake Stop before I... Before th... Uhm, I really hope I can count on the support of more loyal customers in the future!

This affects automated functions of the site such as shop stocking, daily resets and autotraining (this is obviously not an inclusive list).
There is no need to post in problems & bugs about these issues, nor to add to existing topics that you are also affected by them, as everyone is.
Thank you for your patience while we work it out!

Once again, thank you everyone! We\'re still working on the servers, this is a really complex problem that the majority of advise from professionals is literally to wait it out. We\'ve moved our traffic behind a better infrastructure and we are doing what we can to protect ourselves further from this type of problem. As you can see, the site is still going down fairly frequently, but we are working on it.
As an apology, and a symbol of gratitude for everyone staying so involved (even with this happening, over 1,000 people online!) we have a 1 Week Gold Account Medal as the Free Gift!

Luckily for all the pacifists out there, Bug Guy Joe has released the following letter:
"I heard that you people\'s was having trouble hitting bugs. Maybe you have one eye, I don\'t know, I shouldn\'t judge. Or maybe you are one of them people that couldn\'t hurt a fly! Hah, bug joke!
"Either way, I have decided that I could be convinced to, you know, give you the info in exchange for something else. Such as stacks of money, for example."

With the recent site instability this week, the custom clothing queue has grown excessively large and due to continued instability, items are waiting a bit longer for approval/denial than normal. We'd just like you to know that we are not ignoring your items and are getting to them as quickly as we can.
Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. We couldn't do this without all of you!

Anyway, I just wanted to let people know that business is doing really well. So well, in fact, that I had to hire on an apprentice. Her name is Elsie, and she is a really sweet girl and I can\'t wait to share some of my favorite recipes with her! So if you come down to Half Baked and see someone else behind the counter, give Elsie a big hello.

Good day, lovelies,
I heard some rumors that there was an especially nasty infection going around this year. Luckily I, Louis L'amour, am an expert in such things. Bring me 50 of your finest candy hearts and a sample of the poison, and I would be happy to exchange them for a bit of the right medicine. Remember, be careful not to pick up any other bugs.
See you soon,
Louis

Survival stuff (including everything plot-related) will still be available for a couple more days. Expect it to be taken down late Wednesday or early Thursday and plan accordingly.
You can cure and get reinfected to try for a different disease.
If you've cured and have replacement body parts from Rachelle, a solution is forthcoming to be able to remove them without needing to go to the Underground.
If you have not finished the plot but have gone to the prizes page, you will still be able to get the rest of the prizes if you go back after finishing.

A few areas that were causing problems:
- Trades
- Some survival plot areas (bug game, ecks/skitters not taking splittifish, the limb doctor)
- A couple of masquerade locations (turning in a schematic and the workshop)
All of these have been fixed, and I'll take a second to explain the reason that there was a problem. All of these errors were due to a specific function we use to "safely" log user data around the site so that the UAs can pull it up if you're missing an item, or it vanished into the black hole that is our server sometimes.
Earlier today we pushed a change that alters the database engine some of our logs use to one called MongoDB which is much faster for the sort of text-heavy information that is stored in logs. We intend to move the rest of our logs over in the next week. This move will free up a massive chunk of space in our database, and also free up a lot of our databasing power that can be used for a lot of other things!
Thanks for your patience today while we started the process, it's been in the works for a few weeks and we're happy to finally have it starting to roll out!

I suppose you\'ve noticed that I look a little different. I hope no one thinks less of me. I really tried to stick with my new life, but I missed my friends and family so much, and it\'s scary starting a new life when you\'re almost completely alone.
I imagine some of you are wondering about a... certain someone. Skitters supports me in whatever I do, but I\'m not going to lie and say that he wasn\'t upset. I think he accepts my choice, though, even if he doesn\'t really understand it. He even joked that he might cure and pay a visit to me above ground some time, so hopefully that means things are blowing over!
Now that I am back, I will be reopening the Bake Stop, and leaving Elsie in charge of Half-Baked below ground. Hopefully everyone will be able to have access to all of their favorite treats, now.
Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words,
Fantine ♥️

It's that time of year again! Take to the ballroom to celebrate the Atebus Revolution Masquerade! Dancing with your friends will earn you tokens which you, of course, spend in The Steamworks Menagerie or the Libertine Lounge! Remember you must be wearing a mask to dance, though we suggest getting dressed up completely in the spirit of the masquerade!
The Holiday Shop has this years most fashionable masks in stock, as well!

In technical terms, we lost one of our servers last night and spun up new ones today. The problem was that PHP (our scripting language) was calling for that server to save things in cache... and it didn't exist anymore.

Stop by the Subeautique today to try your luck at picking up a piece from these fabulous ensembles!
