Posted April 23, 2011 If it is down for mant. I am sure I know why. As a fellow programmer I know that is it not as easy as it sounds to make sure not only the eggs pop up random at incriminated times but also to check each player for what they have then move to a different egg and check that one. On top of it he is combining last years in the same basket with this one. That means hes adding more code and more work and more checking to make sure there is no duplicate eggs. The code behind this has to be well done and I am sure he is working on making it better for all of us. The downtime is well worth the wait on what we are getting here a FREE special egg hunt on a FREE game where he pays for the server itself. If he reads this I would love to personally thank him for all his hard work and time. To you from me TJ a big warm THANK YOU! Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 That is the Coffee Bean. Unroasted BTW. I wasn't sure what everyone's preference was, light medium or a nice dark roast, but I figured you can roast it yourselves. Does it come in decaf? Share this post Link to post

The site always goes down at this time, after all. And I think you can relax. Although people seem disappointed and rather anxious to get back to egg hunting, I don't see anyone screaming for TJ's head on a stake or anything like that. I think they understand.

Posted April 23, 2011 It's never been down for me at this time before, so it doesn't seem to be regular maintenance. Not only is it down, every time I refresh the DC page it crashes FF. Share this post Link to post

FF doesn't crash for me when I refresh DC. Also, I've seen DC go down tons of times at 3 am. Sometimes the maintenance finishes fairly quickly, so maybe you just missed it.

Posted April 23, 2011 Dragcave link's been broken for me for nearly an hour now. D: Share this post Link to post

Yeah I'm usually up this time and it's never down like this. I think they are fixing the double egg issue, which is good. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) I've seen it go down plenty of times at this exact time [3a EST] However, I've never seen it stay down this long. Normally, it would last about 20 minutes or so for me. Edited April 23, 2011 by xXAngelicEvilXx Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 Double egg issure? I think I was on at this time not only today, and every time the cave was up. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 Whether it's normal maintenance, egg hunt bugs being fixed, or both, does it matter? The site's down for the moment. It will be back up eventually. All we can do is wait. I don't think it makes a difference what the cause is. :3 Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 I've seen it go down plenty of times at this exact time. However, I've never seen it stay down this long. Normally, it would last about 20 minutes or so for me. Well that's what I meant by 'never like this'. I should have been more specific. Time wise I've seen it go down but never this long. Plus right before this there was the double egg issue. So it would make sense that they would use a normal down time to fix the problem and it is just taking more time than a regular down time. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 Thank you, TJ! I just came online and it's down now... Well probably it'll work later. Share this post Link to post

Posted April 23, 2011 wow is it really happening??? yaaaayyyy! can't wait the site works again. thank you TJ and artists! Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 I'm really glad they decided to do the eggs again this year. It was fun last year and I'm looking forward to adding more eggs to my collection. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 Probably not, but it's a bit silly to announce it on Twitter when nobody can get the eggs. To be fair, we had a good three hours to start hunting before it went down, and it probably won't be down for relatively all that long, so why not announce it? Share this post Link to post

Posted April 23, 2011 Lol, cave is down again. Always the same at events. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 23, 2011 Lol, cave is down again. Always the same at events. Well, although there often is more downtime during an event, it's really not all /that/ long relatively speaking. It does indeed feel longer though when you're impatiently waiting to be able to continue hunting for eggs or tricks and treats or event dragons. Share this post Link to post

Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah, this can't be the regular maintenence downtime. It's usually up by now (I know, 'cause I usually watch the clock until it comes back up each night). *wants egggggs!* I guess I should follow the others and get some sleep, huh? Share this post Link to post
