GodvilleMaintenanceThe last few weeks turned out to be quite productive - pet variety has increased (thank you all for your suggestions!), the game got yet another bunch of new phrases and content (credit and thanks to all players and ER voters) and the forums finally became more mobile-friendly (if you have any thoughts on mobile forums please share those in comments).
Everyone loves it when things work better than they did before and we’re no exception. That’s why in a few hours we’re going to fiddle around a bit with our servers to make them work better. That will cause interruptions and game availability issues, but hopefully most of you will hardly even notice :)
*NOTICE: Due to the maintenance, the game won’t be available on Aug 4, starting at 3 AM (Pacific Time, GMT-7) for approximately 2 hours. We’ll update this post once everything is finished.*
UPD: Everything seem to be up and running, but if you run into new issues let us know via ideabox.
UPD: Sorry folks, but some heroes were inaccessible today due to some sudden server hardware uprising, Luckily, humans have won this time, so everything is back to normal.2012-08-03T21:30:26ZNuanen<p>Thanks for the heads up!!!

I vote for that!</p>Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:19:53 +0100Xzzwxs<p>Also, is there a way to go back to the old forum views on mobiles? I rather preferred the old way. As an option, of course, hold your hate mail. :)</p>Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:23:25 +0100Nuanen<p>Xzzwxs: Just hit ‘standard view’ at the bottom of the page in the forums. :)</p>Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:45:38 +0100Quetzcatlipoca<p>I just got a stripeless zebra for my new pet…</p>Sat, 04 Aug 2012 02:43:37 +0100StarDancer<p>Where can we find a list of new pets?

Just sayin.</p>Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:11:40 +0100Nicosa<p>What are the new pets?</p>Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:15:08 +0100Omg I Am God<p>Some of the new lines are hilarious as well as the new monsters.

I’ve been hopinh somebody would make an article on them).</p>Tue, 07 Aug 2012 17:00:02 +0100Quetzcatlipoca<p>Nevermind, just saw the updated pest section… especially like the alpha centaur and even more so, the vogon poet.</p>Tue, 07 Aug 2012 17:07:27 +0100Izanaki<p>This is unrelated, but I was just buying charges to resurrect my pet and had a lot of trouble with it. Paypal kept on being super-buggy, saying things like how “an account must be premier or business to do this” or some-such. After 20 tries or so, I got it to work, although it was still slow on processing and I wound up doing my transaction twice (..not a big deal for my 4-charge buys, but bet it’d annoy someone buying a larger amount!). Another person in my guild had the same issue of having to try multiple times until PayPal worked – perhaps you might want to contact them and see whether the problem is on your side or theirs?</p>Sat, 11 Aug 2012 18:20:26 +0100Saphira Darkshadow<p>Refresh failed anyone know what’s that about its been like that all day?</p>Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:00:07 +0100RogueSaber<p>I have the same problem “refresh failed”. ‘Unable to refresh since 1:11pm’.
