[OVER!] Hour of scheduled downtime @ 11:30 pm PST

Good Monday everyone!

Because the server needs some TLC, the site will be down for about an hour tonight, December 13, starting at 11:30 pm PST. This means that the world will be closed, along with the Forums, your Homepage, and ... you get the picture. 

Follow along to see just when things will be coming back up via our handy Twitter account for these kinds of things: @isglitchup  Should be virtually painless!

  • Will you play Good night Groddle before you shut down? Can we have an EOTW party?!

  • 11:30 pm PST?

    no prob. 11:30 EST wouldn't really be a problem for me.

  • Will the time for whatever skill we're currently learning be extended by however long the server is down for? Or will there not be any delays on skill learning?

  • EOTW party for an hour long closure?

    I'm in :D

  • Oh no!
    What ever. I'll be asleep. =D

  • Solana, any disruption in skill learning times should only amount to a few minutes.

  • That's good to hear, thanks Blanky. :D

  • Y'know how flickr would be "having a massage" when it was down? What does the Glitch server get?
    Posted 12 months ago by girlhacker Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay! I'm excited about this :-)

    You couldn't arrange to just have a page still up somewhere so you can post the CLOSED sign could you?

    GNG FTW!

  • Aws. It'll make my last, long, 2am CST shift start out a bit slower. :) Thanks for the heads up though!

  • OH MY GOD.
    RESEEEEEEEEET
    AAAAAAHHHHH BURN ALL THE THINGS.

    Ahem, anyway.
    Thank you, finally.
    Be meaning to suggest a sort of weekly/monthly maintenance where you would pick a day to shut down for about an hour, like most games.
    And generally work out some bugs and kinks for the server and whatever you need to do.
    And the way to do this, and help everyone, is to poll for a week or two, and find the lowest traffic days, and do it on those days.

    Also, working....
    Working.....

  • Not a prob, since the server deserves ALL THE LOVE. Thanks for the advance notice, Blanky.
    Posted 12 months ago by Flowerry Pott Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Lol, no. No reset, or any noticeable changes. Really. 

    And hmmm, I don't know if the server would want you to know this (it's a creature of privacy), but it's coming down for a good ol' mud bath.
    Posted 12 months ago by Blanky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sounds soothing Blanky.  Can I sign up for one???
    Posted 12 months ago by AlmostSilver Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That would be... tomorrow late afternoon for me. No problem since I'll still be at work. ^_^

    The server needs a rest, eh?
    Posted 12 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Does the mud bath include the cucumber eyepatches?
    Posted 12 months ago by Captain Herbalife Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I hope the server is going to a proper spa for the mud bath!  You know, fluffy robe, the cucumber eyepatches, soothing music, and refreshing drinks.

  • We should have mud baths in Mazza'la.
    Posted 12 months ago by Sororia Rose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Man... Now I'm wanting a mudbath...
    Posted 12 months ago by Little Miss Giggles Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Secretly they're only washing our piggies.
    Posted 12 months ago by Volkov Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I heard they were going to re-fill the chickens. They were getting squeezed too much.

  • Don't forget to play the GNG song!

  • Wait! Does this mean the new housing is going up Tuesday?
    Posted 12 months ago by Treesa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Lol, no. No reset, or any noticeable changes. Really. -- Blanky

    Suddenly Blanky's statement sounds... suspicious...

    <_<

    >_>

  • New housing?
    Go on..
    Posted 12 months ago by Volkov Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, come oooooon. It means what it means!! The server needs it's mud bath. That is all. 
    Posted 12 months ago by Blanky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Suuuuuure, Blanky. ;)  (And even if it does, it's too much fun to pretend it doesn't!)

    Now that is tricksy!!
    Posted 12 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, doh. That would indeed be tricksy of me. The stated twitter page is where you'll find me then, I will have updates, and maybe even a few lame jokes, right there. (No icky twitter account required!)

  • Can i sign up for one of these mudbaths too please?

    ETA: EOTW Party happening now in the Model Home in Navran Dissent!
    Posted 12 months ago by Avery♥ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • :) everybody: dress a fluffy robe!
    Posted 12 months ago by mira gaia maia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • In order to support the server getting a mud bath, as Blanky has repeatedly said, I agree with mira gaia maia that we should all wear fluffy robes.

  • Ah. Amazon. (guessing) At least you got a notification, unlike some of us lesser folk!  just got done scrambling to tidy up after a forced reboot.
    Posted 12 months ago by Woochi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • can i go back in now? please please please
    Posted 12 months ago by Richelle Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yes.
    Posted 12 months ago by girlhacker Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yayayayyy server is back. It may have eaten the cucumbers we tried to put on its eyes, but it's in top shape. Fluffy robes should be still be worn though. Just to keep the spa vibe up. :D
    Posted 12 months ago by Blanky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay!
    Posted 12 months ago by Little Miss Giggles Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Clearly since there are button eyes, our Glitches should be able to have cucumber eyes as well for that zen, calm, I am at peace look.

  • I loved the messages from GOD and the crab countdown!
    Posted 12 months ago by Koala Kebab Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hahahahah -- this was my first time being online for a server shutdown, for some reason, so when GOD first started talking to me, I cautiously responded "...yes?"

    I was amused :D

    <3!
    Posted 12 months ago by Ashbet Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, it was so much fun having a good ol' fashioned EOTW party, hearing GNG played over game, and having GOD speak to us again.

    Please, can we do this more often? ;)
    Posted 12 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 to doing that more often! I do love the EOTW parties so very much. Thank you 1000x to everyone that came out last night (or whatever it was in your time zone) I LOBE YOU!
