Downtime || Box Glitch

Post by stefanol »

As you may have noticed, we experienced a critical downtime this night.

Sadly, a lot of things went wrong at that time - that's why it took so long to bring everything back.

I hope everything is working correctly now. If not, let me know, I will try to fix it ASAP.

The Jirachi event is extended by 24h.

EDIT: a run of bad luck continues. As you may have noticed, the Virtuadopts were magically changed to Snorlaxes, lost their names, and lost their box orders.

All of Virtuadopts were changed back to their proper dex numbers.

Sadly, the box order couldn't be completely returned back. The state of boxes and names comes from 8th of December (IDs > 875106). That means, that every Virtuadopt adopted, moved to different box, or renamed after 8th of December will now

a)be in first box
b)have no name

Unfortunately, this is the most I can do as of now - the box orders and names were lost completely, I had to bring back the older database backup.

So yeah, sorry guys for failing one more time.

If you can't find your Virtuadopts, there is a possibility they landed in invisible boxes. Visit this URL to fix it (they will get moved to Box 1):

As long as everything works now, I don't mind a little down time. Made me stop clicking and work on other games I had left aside XD

How many more hours (roughly) until it ends? 24? Or more? I didn't catch when it started...

No worry stef, technical inventions are as good as long someone will watch over them....sadly the ones who give you space on their servers did not!
But thank you to expand the timespan for the celebi....! :D

lol I hope we don't >< Was it just too many people clicking at once? Or was it a backlog of other problems as well?

Ah well, New Year's cleaning apparently extends to servers as well XD

Well, it's entirely my server, so all thanks of the downtime goes to me ;)

Apparently, the server lost with amassed traffic (mostly caused by people spamming click tabs). When I tried to help the situation, it caused some data corruption, which took the whole site down. I stayed late trying to fix it, though I managed to fix it just now. Sorry for that. I guess it's time to look for the new server, if we want to have 24h events :D

From what I suspect, some of the older posts may have been corrupted (like, the ones from the over year ago) - it's only an assumption though.

stefanol, or on the other hand make events where you can only get one promo....so spam klicking would be avoided and everybody is happy....(yes that x-mas events were so cool)!
So don´t worry!

Omg, there's a Jirachi event?! I would've never known that if I didn't go on VA when I did. At least now there'll be something to do, I almost got really bored of it and quit.

a few minutes ago, all was correctly, but now,
my pokedex say "Current Unique Pokémon count: 1
Pokémon left to 100% completion: 385" ( i just have a Snoraxl)
and all my boxes are disorder
but i noticed, that the pokedex isnt correct too.
I clicked the snoraxl and there are other pokemons in the top (evil meowth, torchic and so on)
