Oh, that's going in my sig! Well now that I'm trying my best to hit that next boost, I'm looking even more forward to the war than I was before!

Petpages are down -- I got the red pteri while trying to visit one.

Could this mean the war will start with the next news update? I'm so excited!

I just logged out - can't access user lookups, bd or guilds. One player opponents are gone according to people on the bdc. But last war didn't it take a few days between the normal 1 player opponents going Poof and the war to actually start?

I hope they don't start this on Friday night, like the last one. That was a disaster!

Anyway, yes things are down/not working and generally acting wonky.

I am as well, but I have to get some zZz's now, and my adrenaline can't rush before I do. :P But last war they put up the challengers, but hadn't activated them until the following monday. Most likely war could start Friday, and they would let it go on through the weekend, and on Monday, release more opponents.

But Ideally, war should start tommorow, so if any bugs occur, TNT can be in the office to fix them.

Wonder why WOE is down, hmm.. does it change your stats for anything?

Usually before the war starts we have glitches or weird happenings as they try to add it into the site.

It can heal you. I got the error trying to equip a shovel plus.

Yeah, it did. But last war was way more buggy than usual and pretty badly done -- usually everything happens more quickly than that.

It should start by Friday, at the latest. But I, too, want it to start Thursday so that any bugs can be fixed immediately and everything will be running smoothly by the weekend.

Darn pirates screwing everything up...

Edit: From Esophagor - ERROR : Cannot insert into bd_active_opponents - INSERT INTO bd_active_opponents VALUES ( 'myusername', '8' )

Edit 2: I've figured it out, every where you go that you have potential to get a new battledome opponent the error occurs. It happens at the WoE, because you can get the Pant Devil there. It happens at the Esophagor when you complete a quest, because that's what you do to get him as a BD challenger. You can't view Kauvara's Neopedia Entry, because that's how you get her.

It all makes sense now, they're getting quite tricky. The reason this is happening (as far as I can tell) is because they're deactivating all the BD opponents from the accounts, so that the system thinks we haven't obtained them as opponents yet. That way, nobody can use the makechallenge{} javascript during the war to be cheap and heal their pet with Punchbag Bob/Inflatable Balthazar. When you go to the pages, the site thinks you don't have the opponent, so it tries to insert it into your list, but you already have it, so it throws an error, which is what you see. Cool stuff.

neopets seems to be loading very slow now. I was hoping to get back in and avertise my beauty contest entries, but the loading time is killing me.

Is it all pet pages or just a few that load with the down for maintnence message?

Thu May 19, 2005 4:55 am

I hope the war can wait till I'll comeback from school, and, aren't the news usally up by now?

Thu May 19, 2005 4:56 am

Seems to be all the petpages for me. Along with everything that might have anything to do with the BD or pet stats... ooh, I wonder if they'll change the petpages to be all piratey/maraquany?!
