After yesterday’s update activated the Erollisi Day event, some players were reporting crashing issues in Halas. Others reported issues in Antonica as players were able to spawn unlimited gazebos. An interim fix for the Halas issue was implemented, with today’s update providing a more permanent solution. Also, last year’s quests are now repeatable. All of the issues with Erollisi Day were spelled out in this thread.

Rothgar has given us the all clear on those AA Reset issues: It looks like we’ve found the issue related to the AA reset and coming up with a plan to fix it as soon as possible. Even though we’ve seen a few posts of people mentioning this happening prior to the merge and on other servers, we are currently only aware of a merge-related issue. There may be something more obscure happening to cause this problem elsewhere, and if it comes up we will look into it as well.
Originally announced as a 2 hour update, then revised to an 8 hour update, Splitpaw and Runnyeye are finally coming up after 11 hours, 30 minutes of downtime. Apparently the TSA wanted to pat down McScroogle himself before allowing this export of Frostfell goodness to Europe. Rothgar‘s comments when queried about the long update: I’m not sure why the downtime estimate was 8h. It should be publishing the hotfix which shouldn’t take nearly that long. I just checked with our operations department and apparently there were some networking issues that caused the file transfers to take much longer than...

Remember that patch that went in yesterday? The one that caused raid zones to crash over and over again? Today we get the patch for the patch. “Fixed a crash issue related to pet immunity” apparently means, “we fixed the raid zone crashing bug that we introduced yesterday“. This bug was apparently reported on the website late last week but the info didn’t make it to the developers. Remember, always /bug when you find a bug. That doesn’t mean they will always see it, but at least that gets it into their system. Notes after the break…
