Is it just me, or is the lag on her significantly worse since the MS underwent the big fix(? server fix? idr now)? I can't get on here and have it work unless it's the middle of the night. :t-:(

But, anyway, I've been enjoying Pikmin Bloom a lot! It's like Pokemon Go except I don't have to constantly check it/be playing it as I walk around, so old people don't start verbally assaulting me for "being on your damn phone!"

ETA: My friend talked me into dropping waiting for my ex-bf to communicate with me about what was really up if we were breaking up or not since he ghosted me and just get on a dating app like I had been considering and I actually met someone very nice and cool? We've got a date on Saturday??? I pulled him with my knowledge of HP Lovecraft and I'm so happy I'm feeling so good about myself! :wee:

I've also had recent instances the past few days where it's near impossible to load pages on this site, that and the number of spam posts I've seen has been a bummer. :/

My day was not too bad, work was busy enough where the day went by fast but wasn't too stressful. Did have an odd occurrence where when I was heading into the store afterwards a guy came up from behind and asked me if I had a boyfriend. Weird way to flirt, but I guess it's a speedrun strat lol. When I said that I did he just said "aight" and walked away. :wtf:

Yeah, idk what’s going on now. This is the only site I’ve been having problems with, altho I’ve seen people complain about daily outages with FB, TikTok, some other gaming sites, and Insta.

I might not be able to relate to the nightmare part (I've taken so much that almost nothing is a nightmare to me anymore...), but I can relate to waking up shortly before the alarm. All because of my cat. Let him upstairs in the morning, and he will MEOW. LOUDLY. in front of my door. And he even tries (to no avail, but still) to open said door!

Everyone, please check the news--we've found the cause of the intermittent lag. Long story short--mining is causing it, and mining is no longer allowed.

This might actually be healthy for MS' economy in the long run.

I hope you're right. Would be nice to see prices come down a bit.

Re-releasing some old donis has helped immensely. But the prices for those that haven't been re-released is ridiculous, IMO. 10,000,000g (ten million) or more for ONE creature is like pure greed at it's worst. Sure, you have to spend real money on donation cretures, but the difference between one shard and 1 gold is totally out of proportion... 50k - 1 on average. Adding more ways to earn gold would be a HUGE help.. the current system is totally inadequte without mining.. and since mining IS the problem, new ways to earn gold has to be addressed sooner rather than later.

I have no problem donating to the site, even on my limited income. But I have NEVER had the time or inclination to mine for hours on end. And in the end, donation creatures are just pixels.. they have no tangible value and are not 'real'.

5 to 1, 10 to 1 or even 25 to 1 should be more than an even ratio.. 50k to 1; pure greed. Then add on the 'markup' for how old the creature is... sheesh, prices like that make me sick to my stomach.

Then if we can get the doni prices down to a reasonable level, maybe we can reduce all other prices down too. Some other types of creatures might need to be re-released too; giftborns and other limited types. Which it might be a good idea to rethink some types of creatures anyway. Any time you have somthing that is 'limited' you cause elitism anyway, and that ALWAYS causes drama. If you want to limit something, make it harder to get, not impossible. There's already a system in place for something like this... ACHIEVEMENTS. Want a second quest creature? Do a level 1 achievement.. want a 3rd, 4th, etc.. finish a higher level achievement. If you have to compleat an achievement for every 'limited' creature, the difficulty alone will keep it from being abused.

This might also reduce the burden on the site by reducing the overall amount of creatures in the system.
