We apologize for this morning's interruptions!
Our database had some hiccups this morning, which prevented things like feeds and the Site Trivia from resetting. Feeds have been cleared and the Trivia have been rotated for the day. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Other areas that are also affected by daily resets have been updated, too.
We believe that we've been able to apply a fix but will have to continue to monitor the databases to see if it will be a viable long-term solution (i.e. there is a small possibility this could occur again). If the site goes down again, don't worry — we're on it!
There's more of me to go around now!
Cave Attempts Reset
Daily Cave attempts have been reset to 0 due to these hiccups. Enjoy some extra tries on us!
Trade Center Updates
The front page of the Trade Center now lists every trade in the Trade Center much like Auctions do. To view your own created trades, click to My Trades in the navigation.
The Trade Center front pages show 20 trades per page and show the oldest trades first. Newest trades are added to the last page. The Newest Trades page has been removed. "Trade spam", while basically impossible with this new page structure, is still prohibited.
Auction Updates
Instead of the entire auction block being clickable from the listing, auction titles are now hyperlinked in red. Click the red hyperlinks to get to the individual listing page. We found that the "entire clickable block" didn't allow people to launch auctions in new tabs/windows by CTRL (CMD) clicks.
The Auctions Search is brand new, now allowing you to find auctions by item name.
So many updates! So many helpful changes!
On Kanji Characters
Kanji characters and other non-English character sets are no longer allowed in either usernames or creature names in our filters. Existing creature names that contain Kanji or non-English characters may be forced to rename their creatures, depending on the content of the translation.
This is being enforced to ensure that names do not contain inappropriate words in other languages.
Cash Shop Travels Retiring
June's Cash Shop Travels will be retiring this Friday at 11:59 PM ECT. Get yours before they're gone.
New Sundaes to Collect
Find these new flavors of sundaes restocking at the Bean Sack. You can still stay cool at the end of summer in the warmer regions of Ark!
New Cash Shop Travels Arriving
