You will have to wait until the system stabilizes. It won't be instant.

Rerolling will stay disabled for at least another day (I'll monitor how it behaves with the first day of breeding today) refreshing images is back available again.

Last night we had almost 250 people playing simultaneously. Most creating horses, checking on foals aging up and playing with the new chimerism mechanics. Normally our system handles this just fine because we have a render farm that handles our image generation. The more requests we get the more servers get spun up for our render farm. It all happens automatically in the background. Well, last night on top of huge loads for us Amazon (who hosts our render farm) was also experiencing huge global loads. They simply ran out of the type of server we use. That meant we were capped at 6 servers running images when we probably needed 8 to 10. That combined with people refreshing images over and over when they didn't load fast enough caused the bottleneck.

Because this issue was mostly situational we do not expect it to be any sort of reoccurring issue, but as I said above, we will be keeping an eye on it today before opening things back up fully.

I have been able to ET today.

I think we broke it again

It's probably an Amazon issue again.
