Happy April Fool's!
Hope you enjoyed my superb acting skills. *takes a bow as Lilia, Avast, Suzie, Jerry, etc.*
I know absolutely nothing about how restocking actually works; I just threw together an algorithm, said it was the official one, and watched the show :) Here’s hoping you didn’t waste too many hours on getting those hundreds of Draik Eggs that “restocked” yesterday!
Anyway. Shop Warlock lives on for your personal amusement and showing your friends how hilarious it was. Feel free to pass that link around for as long as you like.
Now, back to fancy business with Dress to Impress. Since the beta app seems to have been serving us well over the past few days, it looks like full migration day is fast approaching. The old and new servers are on slightly different databases: everything before November is the same, and everything after is totally separate. (Some users noted that their points went down significantly after we started automatically pushing users to the new server. Their points earned on the old server still exist; the new server just doesn’t know about them.)
Merging the two databases looks like it’ll be a fun challenge. The ideal result would be a true merge: contributions on the old server and contributions on the new server would be all grouped together, then we would recalculate everyone’s worth-their-weight-in-some-kind-of-pride-I-guess points to take into account contributions on both servers. If that proves not to be feasible, scores from the old server will take precedence.
Oh, hey, a quick aside: I know that many of the illnesses and cures from Neopets’s April Fool’s gag are glitched, only showing their appearance on one particular pet species. Since absolutely none of those items have anything to do with real outfits anyone might ever make in the future, I’m okay with that. Just thought y’all should know :)
Anyway. Hope you enjoyed the Warlock, and I’m looking forward to working on legit stuff for y’all in Dress to Impress ;) Thanks!
