CALLING ALL AUSTRALIANS [+ anyone else with technical forest issues right now]

I'M IN YUR COMM SITES, POSTING MULTIPLE BLOGS IN THE SAME HOUR ♥ *brick'd*

Sososooo, I'm creating this post for the purpose of troubleshooting/in the hopes of perhaps getting to the bottom of some technical issues that I, as well as a few others, have been having.


Basically, the other day I put up THIS POST on the support forum in order to get some answers and perhaps fix the problem I've been having lately in-game, where other deer about me will suddenly become 'stuck in limbo', for lack of a better description (for more details on this, please read the post linked above ♥). After some discussion with Raz, it seems that this problem, or variations of it, seem to be common for a few of us-namely, those of us living in Australia. It seems these issues only happen during certain times of the day, namely between 2pm-6pm, plus or minus a few hours, and such. If you read through the comments, you'll see some posts detailing how Raz and myself had our respective problems occur simultaneously in-forest today, which seems to support the theory that this is perhaps a server-side problem or issue with the game that affects those of us in the land down under, as of late.

In order to fix this, Michael wants to see how many of us have the same or similar problems. And so, I have come here to round you all up for a good ol' fashion hoedown against the technical problems the purpose of finding out whether there are more of us with similar issues.

And so, if you are experiencing problems like the ones detailed in the post linked above, whether you live in Australia or not (though if you do live in Aussie, feedback on whether this happens for you, even if it doesn't, is muchly appreciated so that we can gather more clues ♥), please post here and detail what's been happening, your country if you are comfortable with that, and anything else you deem relevant to this, and help us get to the bottom of this rather random issue~! ♥ Also, if you have a problem with your feedback being forwarded on to Michael/being copy-pasta'd on the support forum, please let me know and I'll leave your section out-just figured I'd put this here, in case anyone didn't want their feedback included :D

Thankies very muchly guiiize, and here's hoping this sees us discovering a solution~! :3 ♥

YES. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT

YES. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT FIX UNTIL 12AM. OR 1AM.
This 'limbo' can last for five hours. :/
HELPPPPPPPP.

aodfiuad OH LAWD. WELL THIS

aodfiuad OH LAWD. WELL THIS IS QUITE THE BREAKTHROUGH. THE SERVER CLEARLY HATES US AUSTRALIANS WITH OUR FROM-THE-FUTURENESS, AND BEING TERMINATORS WITH MASSIVE ABS AND SAYING 'I'LL BE BACK' ♥

Truly though, it's interesting to hear that you're having the same issue as me-it's lasted for me for like five hours or more too, it's so strange! Shocked I DISLIKE IT SO MUCH, especially when it first started and I didn't know it was happening and was wondering why everyone was so quite :B Thankies muchly for posting this Ammy-the more information we gather, the more likely we'll get this fixed!

I THINK HE'S GOING TO GET ANNOYED WITH ME TOO WHEN I START FORWARDING THIS ON~! :B *hugsquish* DUN WORRY AMSTER, WE'LL GET THERE IN THE END, I'M SURE Laughing out loud

I SENT HIM SOME INFOS, BUT HE

I SENT HIM SOME INFOS, BUT HE WOULD TOTALLY LOSE IT. This way we can get more people to reply ^^ *Slightly shy~*

HE TOLD ME ' I know that this is a problem. And I know that it is annoying.'
I was soooo embarrassed. XD but he softened it up with other ways I could try and help. HE NEEDS TO USE SMILEYS. :3
The lag makes it hell to play Talla. ._. because it is often hard to tell if the game is in 'limbo' as you so hilariously put it.

@ Ammster: Oooh, really?

@ Ammster: Oooh, really? Shocked That's crazy, I'm glad I made this post then! Perhaps if we get more people to reply like you said, this will get this fixed-I didn't realize people had contacted him about it before, like I said I didn't even realize that others had the same problem! :B And aaaw don't be shyyy, there's nothing to be shy about-you're having a technical problem and you want it fixed, that's only fair I think ♥ *hugsquish*

Oooh that'd be it Sticking out tongue Awww that does sound a little embarasssing, poor Amster! D:, but it's good he's trying to help us, yeeey! I wonder what the problem is? Shocked LET'S USE LOTS OF SMILEYS AND MAKE HIM JOIN US IN OUR SPAMMAGE >:3 I'm giggling ♥ But yah, hopefully if we give him all this information, he'll be able to have more of a clue what's going on, or we might get some more info on how to fix it. D'you mind if I ask what he advised you to do? Shocked I'd love to know possible ways to get around this!

And oooh YES it makes it hell to play my deer too, especially since they're both so 'active' when I chuck them in the forest/they never stop moving :B And yes, it takes me ages to realize too-and then I'm like 'oh gawds I hope nobody thought I was ignoring them'. But hay, at least we know now that it's not just us-this is definitely a step in the right direction, methinks! ♥ Thankies again for your contribution Ammyness!

@ Starkface: asodfuad OH MY GOD. That just proves it's an issue with the server or whathaveyou. How interesting! Shocked IT HATES UUUS. It is irritating I agreee-and I think maybe that's why it hasn't been affecting you as much, I find late at night it doesn't really happen for me at all so, thar you are! Shocked Thankies for letting us know Stark, hopefully we can get this fixed!

And asodfuad ZOMGOSH. I REALIZED YOU WERE FROM AUSTRALIA LIKE, YESTERDAY, WHEN I LOOKED UP THOSE WHO WERE IN AUSTRALIA TO FIND OUT IF ANYONE HAD THESE ISSUES :B Was totally going to spam you but had to go to bed, but since you're here I'LL SPAM YOU HERE INSTEAD WITH LUFF. ZOMGOOOSH EPIC. If this isn't too stalkerish, d'you mind if I ask what state you're in? I'm in NSW bb~ ♥ Laughing out loud :D Laughing out loud GO US AUSSIES, WEEEEW~

@ Starness: YEEEEY SUPPOOORT Laughing out loud :D Laughing out loud Thankies so muchly Star, your cheerleading is muchly appreciated ;D *hands you pompoms*

oasiuf LAWL LINK IS FIXED.

oasiuf LAWL LINK IS FIXED. This is why I shouldn't post stuff late at night. SORRY ABOUT THAT, forum post can be found here Laughing out loud

I'll show her this thread

I'll show her this thread later, but I know Raz has been having bad problems as well.
Darn TEF being racist against Autralians.
This account is a biography holder. Nothing more.

(USA) Oh, humm, I've had that

(USA) Oh, humm, I've had that same problem since I joined o.o

Thought it was just my slow-mo computer :'0

But~It seems to happen when there are more than 50 + deer in forest

@ Vendetta/Sonata/OH MAH GAWD

@ Vendetta/Sonata/OH MAH GAWD WHAT DO I CALL YOU NOW :B ♥: Tee hee, aaaw thankies muchly Sonny buuut, Raz already has been linked to the thread-in fact, she was the one who inspired me to make this! :B Thankies muchly regardless! But hay, the fact she's been having bad problems means that it's definitely TEF being racist against Australians-obviously our awesome just can't be handled by the server, hurhur ;D ♥

@ Kittyness: Oooh! Shocked That's really interesting! Perhaps it isn't just Australia then! I'll be sure to mention this, definitely-I thought it was my slowmo computer tooo, til I realized it wasn't just me/when a clean install didn't help. Sorry to hear you're having the same issue, but thankies for letting me know-hopefully we can get this fixed for you and the rest of us soon! Laughing out loud

WORK IT, BB~ &hearts;

WORK IT, BB~ ♥ ♥ ♥ Tee hee! I'd so laugh if the cheerleading made the problem fix itself-then we could make a religion called the Holy Church of Dannii, where we worship your technical fixing skills through the art of song and dance. THANKIES AGAIN, OH MIGHTY GODDANNII ♥ *worships*

I think we always do tooo, it is majorly sucky, most definitely-it's possibly due to the fact that unlike most of the rest of the world, we have internet data limits and much lower speeds. We're very behind the times in regards to internet stuffs, it's so icky-I don't wanna bring politics to the TEFc, but seriously hoping one of our political parties gets in at the upcoming election, as they're going to spend like, 63 billion dollars giving us all fibre optics and massively increased speeds, as well as 94% coverage over our country instead of the current like, less than 50% or so. There's even the possibility that we won't have internet data limits anymore, and that internet might become free for us. That would be like, epicsauce, right thar ♥

/ END RAMBLE :B

...you know, I was talking to

...you know, I was talking to a friend earlier about what a religion made by myself would involve. -dying now- LET THERE BE MUUUUSIC, SWEEEET MUUUUSIC~

sdfsdf GO POLITICAL PARTIES GO!

GIMME A Z, GIMME AN E, GIMME A B, ANOTHER B, GIMME AN I, GIMME AN E, WHADDOWEGOT?

THAT PERSON UP THERE.

NOW JOIN THE CHURCH OF DANNIIOLOGY. |8

dfdsfsdf you are amazing. -dead-

Yesyes. c: Actually, when I

Yesyes. c:
Actually, when I contacted him he said that no one had mentioned it to him! That's was many a week ago now, though~!
*Squisheded* *Squishes back*

;D T'was! I just want him to know the status at the moment, like when it is worst or a day when it isn't so bad. =D
8D <8> >D He said he had no idea what the problem was - only that pictogram troubles have been a problem for a while and he wants to know the solution. Personally ( though the expense may be larger ) I think a new server would work. This one is a meanie poop D:
Around 6-ish I have troubles getting spreadage of the pictograms. I find that being on before this time is the best way to stay on. Otherwise, even if you get the pictos to spread, some will still clump at the bottom and there will be lag. Still, better than nothing.

EXACTLY THE SAME. For Talla, it's really awkward, seeing as most of the lag happens when someone really scary is chasing her. XDDDDDDDDDD. SO SHE STOPS AND LOOKS AROUND LIKE "I LOST 'EM" Then suddenly we are released from limbo and they're standing overtop of her. :c

<33!! YOU ARE EPIC. ALWAYS BRING A BANANA TO A PARTY, THEY'RE FULL OF POTASSIUM.

Just throwing a quick post in

Just throwing a quick post in here to say that this is happening to me right now, and has been for the past half hour. Anyone else experiencing this~? Shocked

*gets to replying to other awesome comments*

*walks in and sit on a chair*

*walks in and sit on a chair* oh hi, I think this is my place too ^^""
though I am not australian (I am brazilian), my connection starts to be awful everyday at the same time in tef.

When the connection starts to be troublesome and I am already in game I have those problems having to put everything in the lowest details and even then, can't play the game without lagging all the way (frame rate these days was 2... TWO).
When I am not in tef at those times and try to log, I simply can't connect, it is sad ;_;

I wish we all could play tef normally ^^"

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHSHSHSHSHH

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHSHSHSHSHHASHA SHA SHA

I hope you Aussies get this issue resolved soon :c

I live in Canada, but the

I live in Canada, but the same thing has been happening to me. More often than not my pictos don't even bother spreading, but when they do, they go right to the on and off limbo, freeze and go, freeze and go.

It's really bothersome; if I've calculated right, the current limbo I've had has lasted 16 hours.

:/

I really want to go on my game... ♥

Ya I have been having this

Ya I have been having this problem too... I'm in Canada though, but it seems like a lot of people are starting to get these problems

Mine is that the pictos wont spread for like, ever (which i never had problems with)
or if they do spread everyone is stuck in one position and even spelling them doesnt work

Hay guize, sorry for the

Hay guize, sorry for the delay in the replying~! D: I'm super busy with university stuff right now, and was also having trouble accessing this blog for a while there, it just didn't wanna load! :B

I really appreciate you all coming in here and letting us know all this stuff, and definitely looks like this is more than just Australia, now~! I've had the same problems that all you guize have had, exactly the same-I'm currently stuck in limbo and after logging out just then, it won't even connect, I get 'error'. So, looks like this is becoming more large-scale. Hopefully this will make a possible fix more urgent to find, and we can get this fixed super-soon~! ♥ I'm so sorry you all hafta go through this too, and I agree-like, whilst I appreciate the fixing this for us might be a low priority for the wonderful Tale of Tales team, it is pretty irritating and yanno, it's better to let them know what's going on so they can know there's something up if it's of interest to them. Hopefully this will lead to a fix, but regardless, all your contributions are muchly appreciated. I'll see what I can do in regards to alerting TOT/Michael, and get back to you all soon ♥

Sit tight, lovelies! Laughing out loud Also, Dahji, great to see you back, I was wondering if you were okies as I hadn't seen you for a while! And of course, your siggy still cracks me up. And Kita, welcome back also? Laughing out loud Good to see you around again, eee! Fofo and Danniiface, many thankies for the wellwishes, YOUR CHEERLEADING IS MUCHLY APPRECIATED Laughing out loud HERE'S HOPIN ♥ Ammy, how has this been holding up for you? Shocked It's interesting to know Michael doesn't know what the problem is, I hope what we've gathered here can help! Shocked POTASSIUM IS SUPER IMPORTANT TOO *brings bananas of course* And Panda, I really hope that 16 hours of icky has ended for you by now! D: ♥
