We're tracking down some issues with inventory databases. More details when we know more.

Database Issue Fixed
An inventory server had decided that it was time to go into a reverie and contemplate its CPU. Our rockin' ops team swapped out the server and everything should be back to normal now, including posting.

zOMG servers offline for maintenance

We're making some small changes in preparation for Deadman's Shadow. We'll have the servers back in a couple hours.

Among the changes:

    1. Rings with the reflect mechanic will reflect knockback as well.
    2. Reflect is limited to a portion of your base health (random range around 1/8th).
    3. Reflect damage will scale with the level difference between you and your target like other damage
    4. We have the UI elements added in for a new orb type

Event Forum Takedown

Just a heads up the Pie Hard event forum will be archived this coming Tuesday, this means users will no longer be able to post in the forum but it will be available for viewing.

The event emotes have been added to our patch rotation and should launch some time next week. Special thanks to Carbonphyber for taking the time to make sure they would work in most areas of the site.

Even after the emotes are made available site wide, the hidden emotes will remain hidden... to my knowledge two have yet to be discovered...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Alchemy Stuff
A baker's dozen of new formulas has been released into the Bifrost. These formulas use common components, and if you are a zOMG player you will be well situated (hint, hint).

Also, more stuff on alchemy (and please pass this along to those interested):
  • The feedback thread has been moved from Site Feedback to the Alchemy Forum
  • Users were asking for more formulas that were attainable with common, farmable components. The formulas we've released today should hopefully provide that, and we are also releasing new formulas on Tuesday that will (also) use farmable components.
  • We definitely heard the feedback about the various RIG formulas. We will take a look at them; it is likely that any changes will be in the form of an alternate path added to the formula.
  • One key issue here is that many users were concerned with the destruction of limited items. We are working on something that will re-release "endangered" components consumed through alchemy back into the wild, probably through some mix of the marketplace and dumpster diving.
  • Any marketplace releases would be on a one-week bid placed by an NPC -- hopefully this will exert downward pressure on the prices.
  • Using DD would make the items available even to those users that don't have a lot of gold.

More details on this next week, when we can have the writers craft our random napkins into the semblance of English.

As always, your feedback is appreciated.

Jigsaw and Word Bump
Jigsaw and Word Bump servers have been restarted -- this should help fix a number of the issues with gold granting / BC granting that users have been hitting.

BG Fixes
- brief glitch with spurious drops by Memphis + others have been fixed
- you can now catch multiple drops without glitching the game (yay!)
- releasing new fish in a bit -- Enki the Merman. Enki glows and drops at the same rate as Grunny Sub; we reserve the right to adjust either glow or drop rates up (only) in the next week. The box contains both new formulas and the components for those same formulas.
Guilds Chat

Have a guild? Want/need a private place to hangout with your other guild members? Then read on!

We just released the ability for guilds owners to purchase a permanent chat space for their guild. You'll find the link under the Moderator Panel. Once you purchase a room, the link will be prominently shown in a tab.

World Page Re-Design Feedback

Hey guys, not too long ago I had started a feedback thread in SF on planned changes for the World page. Since then we've made new mocks taking the feedback we received into account.

New CAPTCHA
We're going to be experimenting with a new CAPTCHA. We previously tried it with BG, but for various reasons it didn't work in that context; we'll be trying it in profile comments next.

The CAPTCHA should be easier to perform (it's more readable), but it will ask you to type a slogan from an advertisement or something, rather than giving you contorted text. Note that some of them will look like advertisements.

Please let us know what you think in SF. As a small "thank you" for participating in our experiment, we are granting a bit of extra gold whenever you run into the new CAPTCHA.

New emotes update
We've realized that only some features on Gaia can use the new emotes. As of now, the public forums and profiles can use them. Other apps (namely PMs and Guilds forums) will need some work to be able to use them.
We'll keep you updated.
