:( Kumos Overnight
KumosKumos is back up. It brought itself down overnight, because the scheduled downtime the other night didn't finish. I'm very sorry for the overnight downtime!
I've added the ability to choose any Virus, at any stage, once for the event.
Do Cinthia quests this weekend for increased prizes and rewards!

All right, I've made a lot of fixes over the last day. If your zombie virus suddenly vanished, you can visit the healer to have it re-applied to your avatar, with roughly where it should be time-wise.

👋 Hey Folks!
Last night the site went down for our quickly-scheduled maintenance, and unfortunately I wasn't able to complete the migration in time (even with a few extra hours of downtime!).
What happened: The database got stuck migrating the item_instances table — that's where we store all of your wardrobe items. Turns out you've all collected a lot of items over the years. You should be proud! But it also means this table takes a very long time to run migrations over.
What this means: We'll be living with the current lag and some strange bugs (like random hair) for a few more days while I investigate whether we can migrate this table slowly in the background without stressing the site. I'll have an update soon.
Cron was down: While the site was down, our "cron" system (the magical timer ⏲️) got turned off, which stopped zombie progression and other site progression. It wasn't able to restore itself until around 10AM Subeta time. Unfortunately, I can't step back in time and re-run everything that should have happened, so progression starts fresh from there. That means some folks' Zombie strains will need a little extra time, we gave Survival some extra runway because we knew there might be complications like this. I'll keep an eye on it, and we can extend it if needed, or reduce timers.
The bigger picture: I know this sucks. We're between two sites right now and features aren't working 100%, and some people are seeing weird hair on their avatars they didn't put there. I know everyone wants everything to just work. We're a very small team now, doing our best to get us there.
I'll keep you updated. Thanks for sticking with us! 💙

Whew, we've seen tens of thousands of kisses per hour, and have the lag to match it. Zombie progression is attempting to happen on the five minute mark, but it's being pushed back further and further in the queue while processing is attempting to happen.
I'm going to be taking the site down tonight at ~1AM (subeta time) to perform some critical database updates, update our indexes to speed things up and make our web servers more capable of spinning up new resources during events.
I'm expecting the downtime to be ~3 hours, and we'll come back up much zippier!
