2012 MYSTERY BOX Official Release!

Thanks to all for your patience - despite the big upgrade a server can can only take so much of a hit! Should be back soon - keep trying!

Crashing like crazy for me.

Weā€™re all floodinā€™ the DB with requests. Ironically, probably only a few have been processed as a result. :wink:

Same. Probably not getting one :frowning:

Right when i added them to my cart it crashedā€¦ really hope i get at least one of them.

My excitement has about 2 or 3 minutes left.

Yeah I do not think Ill be lucky enogh to get this either with the crash

Iā€™m really kinda pissed right nowā€¦ if theyre expecting such a large quantity of people, why donā€™t they prepare for itā€¦ GET BETTER SERVERS.

Site crashes every time I add it to my cart! And then its gone when I reload! Anyone know if they are still there? >:(

If I donā€™t get one I will be so sadā€¦

OH. MY. GOD.

Yep, thatā€™s where Iā€™m at :frowning:

Not better servers, even with better servers, the flood of requests all at the same time would probably crash it anyways. Might take out some of the fun, but a queue system similar to what blizzard uses when they sell blizzcon tickets or what they use for EDC tickets might be a better option.

I canā€™t even load the page! :frowning:

They did, apparently. :wink: From a business point of view, you donā€™t get ā€œthe best servers in the businessā€ for one sale. The servers are more or less fine the rest of the year. :wink:

What some businesses do is use virtual servers that can dynamically scale to handle one-off floods a la ā€œslashdot effectā€. These are apparently not those.

Iā€™m realy amped/frustrated now after Yonutā€™s postā€¦ Lets goā€¦ YYE! Lets goā€¦ YYE!

Swerve homie.

LMK whatā€™s inside :wink:

I found the mystery bag page and I added it to my cart but now Iā€™ve lost it again!

GAH
