#### [UPDATED] Happy Imagination Day!

Today we pull the giant knife switch to turn on the new Imagination system! We need to squeeze a few chickens and rearrange some bits for imagination, so we are turning off access to the game for a bit today. Your characters will be run through our patented Imagino-matic 5000 to prepare for Imagination.
When we come back, you will almost certainly have a different level (the level curves in the new system are different). You will also be able to spend imagination (iMG) right away, but only on character upgrades (this is NOT the housing reset, so you won’t be charged for land expansion until that happens).
We do not have a hard ETA for when the servers will be back up, but we will provide updates on progress as the day progresses! We will also provide more information on the switch later in the day.
UPDATE (1:15pm PST) - We've completed the player conversion process and now we are testing the various systems affected by the change. You have probably seen some of the changes to skill learning times and your character! Even with all the moving parts, we are making good progress. In a few moments we are meeting to review our progress and determine roughly when the game will reopen to general players. I will update this post after that meeting.
UPDATE (2:15pm PST) - We are getting close! Only a few more items to tweak, one last round of internal testing, and then we will open the game again.
UPDATE (3:30pm PST) - Wow, we are on the very last task on the List of Things that *Need* to Get Done Before Opening the Game Again. So, we are doing that, double checking and we'll be back as soon as we possibly can.

- This site must be getting amazing amounts of traffic right now with people all jittery and anticipatory...

- My money hasn't come back. I lost about 250k, if I remember how much I had correctly.

- @superlark Not really. The text and few images people can load on the forums and home page right now probably doesn't even compare to the huge amounts of bandwidth necessary to serve up the game.
  Now in a bit, when the game comes back online, I'll be truly impressed if their servers can handle what will probably be their biggest load in history.

- My Currants have righted themselves (for now)! Also, so glad I took nostalgia-inspired snaps last night.

- *bounce bounce bounce* So excited!

- It's unlikely to be their biggest load ever. That probably happened when the game came out of beta the first time. Now, the die-hard population is likely much smaller.

- I bet the "last task" is deflating the giant emo bears.
  Posted 7 months ago by Golden Retriever | Permalink
- So what changes is everyone expecting to see? I'm really excited and considering staying up (it's midnight here now) to see :)

- Looks like the currants are being returned. Cool. I think that conversation may be coming at a later date.

- Ok yay currants returned.
  Posted 7 months ago by Lorraine ♪ | Permalink
- I'm so nervous. Any second now....
  Posted 7 months ago by I Love You TS | Permalink
- Pascale, while that may be true, I believe there were 27,000 players at the end of first beta (I wasn't among them). Now there's 4-5 times that many.

- Justin, I believe the largest load they ever saw on the servers was the moment before the end of the first beta...I believe we almost killed the system : )
