First of all we would like to apologise to anyone affected by the unexpected Maintenance the past 24 hours.
Marapets was experiencing lag yesterday as one of our many disks failed. Normally we would just shut it down and switch to a spare disk but with the issues last month, all of our spare disks were being used for other things.
To be on the side of caution, we closed the site right away and ordered a replacement with expedited delivery. This was received this morning and replaced right away.
We usually do full site maintenance every 3 months (software updates, hardware checks, etc) but with the problems last month, our maintenance was way overdue. While the site was down, we also completed this maintenance.
We have also ordered 14 new SAS and SATA hard drives so that we have more spare disks on the empty bays of the server and a few spare for the future. These will be installed next week and once done, this will not be an issue again in the future.
The Clubs and Pound are now back to normal. We have restored everything as best as we could. There were several features of Clubs that were not working before that are now back to normal. As the Pound is back to normal, please do not disown pets that do not belong to you - open a Support Ticket instead.
We have a new and improved Search on Auctions, Trades, Attic and Galleries. This will allow to search keywords like 'Chibs' or 'Potion' to find groups of items easier.
We also have a new Wardrobe Search so you can find your clothing items much easier!
Price Checker has new features. Whenever you hit a 'Check Price' link it will now show you how many of the item you have in your Attic and Gallery with a fast link to them. It also will show how many of the item is currently on sale in the new and improved Trades.
There is a new feature to help you price your Shop Stock. ou can change the settings of what stock is shown. If you select 'All Stock' it will show as normal, but you can select 'Only 0MP Stock'. This will show all items that are not currently priced and will make pricing and 'Auto Price' much faster.
If you have many different usernames and have completed the Unnecessary Perfection Instructions, you can now change their order at the Town Hall.
There have been many, many other changes to the site that have been requested by players and are answered in the Editorial.
