Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Mod Mini-Announcement

                    Mod Mini-Announcement
                
✨ Hello everyone! The mod team just wanted to give a quick announcement.

✨ October 31st will be our first INTENSE HORROR EVENT.

This is a mini-event BUT it has the potential for the effects to last through all of November.

Due to the nature of this event, this event is entirely OPT-IN!. Characters will have the ability to be as aware or as oblivious to the goings on of this mini-event as you would like.

✨ The mini-event will be open only to the in-game community.

✨ There WILL be some potentially triggering subjects in the event, PLEASE take care of yourself first and foremost and only engage with as much as you are able to handle.

✨ The Test Drive Meme is still going on if you would like some much more light-hearted Halloween Shenanigans!

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
