Egg Game Issues

Sorry to everyone who had problems with the egg game. It was left set to a slow test mode that allowed really high scores and caused problems. Please shut down the game and relaunch.
zOMG servers restarting at 2pm PST

I've made some changes so that the golden egg will spawn more often. Please expect the servers to restart at 2PM , PST. They will take 2 minutes to restart.

I'll also assign one of the servers to have no easter event as some of you have requested. That server will have the prefix "[no event]" added to the server name.
Lanzer broke Easter

Sorry my latest changes had some horrible bug which stopped eggs from showing. The servers had restarted and things are working again. Sorry for the trouble!

sweatdrop ho boy... we are so so sorry...

Hey, zOMGaians. The event started to tax everything like a rabid Ivan last night, so we had to turn it off. We are going to be working hard to get things back in order.

Stay tuned!

Site Update

Ok... So here's what's happening. A dragon came and started attacking the town businesses job system DB, then the Vanguard was unleashed to destroy the beast, but when they moved in to attack, it took flight. The Vanguard fought with all their strength and wit to keep the dragon from breathing death and destruction upon the town below cascading database failure. The Vanguard was able to keep the dragon at bay, but not before it was able to launch fireballs destroying towns folk possessions inventory, and another destroying the village market marketplace. The beast even attacked the local fields where the annual royal games were underway. games and event

Then... things got weird...

Site Update - update

...Then... things got weird...

...the entire world just disappeared and the Vanguard and the dragon were in a vast white void! php syntax error caused site whitescreen

The Vanguard attacked various dragon limbs but even after the wings were destroyed it somehow kept in the air. we made many code changes that should have addressed the issue but nothing did.
Then the Vanguard realized the dragon was really a time-travelling dragon and...

What actually happened...
Our job system was overloaded, we suspect from some particular games making large amounts of requests. After addressing that issue something was still generating massive amounts of queries keeping the system overloaded. After debugging most of the day we pinned the issue to old code firing off job calls for a system that we assumed was properly disabled. This is now fixed and we are waiting for the slave servers to process some of the backlog before bringing key features back online.

TLDR

  • Job system overloaded
  • Took long time to find cause
  • Now waiting for servers to process data


We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. The code we were dealing with has been untouched for about 10 years!

ETA 30 min. - 1 hour
Easter Event Update

Upon closer examination, we found out that it was our new Easter Egg Matching Minigame that was causing problems.

The problems cascade into a lot of different errors, including our logging server bringing many systems down.

We now have the issue under control, but it takes time for some database to recover.

As soon as the system stabilize, we will re-enable the zOMG Easter Event.

We will fix the Easter Minigame tonight, and it should be back by tomorrow.

Sorry for the trouble! We're working around the clock to bring everything back up!

Diedrich's egg game is back! Hopefully, the imps and dragons have been purged, but we will be watching it closely to make sure it doesn't cause any more problems.
