The auction is tonight.

This is why the GMs disabled atmo-pets for the day. It was basically expected.

Same here. The game collapsed under the weight of atmo at the token auction hall...

Another reason to dislike most atmo items.

UGH! I just bought grooba coins (15 minutes ago now) to go to the auction and enter the raffle. I can't even get out of my house! Hope they delay it a while so we can get situated.

I suspect that at this point this has less to do with atmo items and more to do with 200 F2P alt accounts trying to jam into the same room.

I think we're down again. I'm frozen in game.

Maybe these auctions shouldn't require everyone to be in a specific room together?

Just FYI guys, rather than post 'crash' or 'down again' etc., the twitter is updated on these statuses.

I loathe twitter, but I've got it open in another tab.

Whatever they do will accommodate these problems, yes. Whether that is to push the auction off for a while during patching, or just push it off for an hour or two.

Considering the GMs have asked players to turn off/remove atmos and the tweet "If you have atmo items, please remove them or turn them off to assist with any lag issues"

I'm going to assume it's a combination of both, but of course have no idea on actual % of fault for this event.

I just don't like where atmos are currently, especially as they've gotten more extravagant.

The most recent one was marked for plat. I don't know if it was a mistake or just that the crash is so big that it took down multiple instances

It's the DRprime account hashtagging DR plat to let that instance know what's going on.

I'm assuming this is because Simu only runs a single server and virtual machines the different instances, so when Prime crashes due to resource allocation (i.e. the atmo items consume all the processor power) it kills the other instances too.

Course then TF should have been hashtagged too, but who cares about those guys.

Yes, you can follow us on twitter or just open the DragonRealms twitter here in a new tab to keep an eye on updates https://twitter.com/DragonRealms

We're not always able to use the #drprime hashtag while prime is down because of how things are set up, so just disregard that part. The updates are still accurate even if the hashtag is not. :)

Plat never crashed. Likely hashtagged wrong. Hope they fix you guys quick

IIRC, there are multiple rooms that function as auction rooms for these kinds of auctions.

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Haha, could tell almost the second they disabled whatever anti-crash measures they put in place for the auction. Went from 0 lag at the auction to massive lag to crash.

Two streams vanished from the XML feed in the auction area: atmospheric window, and room window.

I dunno, it seems like something about these is causing a lot of strain. :\
