Egg Cave Queue Service Outage

Egg Cave Queue Service Outage

Egg Cave relies on an external queue service to process heftier system jobs like creature evolutions, certain notifications, updating happinesses, and sending verification emails. Our external queue service provider is having intermittent DNS problems, which is interfering with our ability to communicate with them and process these jobs.

Long story short: if you're waiting for a creature evolution or for some other system task to occur under your account (like a verification email or daily sign-in reward), these may be delayed. We will post an update once our queue service is fully restored. Some pages may return a 500 error during this time.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Update 9:22 PM ECT

The issues appear to be resolved now! Thank you for your patience.

Uhh just about a minute ago I posted something in the Forums and a 500 error thing popped out...? Just me? :/

@shadowfaxe Yeah, I tried feeding creatures and the error appeared. I believe they fixed it though.

Ah, I was wondering what was up. I kept getting 500 or 419 error pages.

what should we do if we still get error pages?

@wererage what page did you get the 500 on? Let me know.
