Update Canceled

In one week, on October 7th, a new system will be put into place that will monitor people's parties for eggs they've had for too long. There's a couple of reasons for this, but the one that makes the most official sense is that eggs need nourishment and if you can't provide it to them in a reasonable amount of time, they need to be taken away so another user can have a shot at it.

What will happen is they will be sent to the shelter. And of course, if they're not adopted within 3 days, they will be gone forever. The amount of time required to hatch them will depend on the maximum maturity the egg needs and, unless changed before then, will range from 3 to 25 days. This range is tentative, but the amount is still being worked out along with getting extra time during each stage (crack) of the egg.

This is yet another big update, like the whole validation fiasco (where unvalidated accounts were given one week to validate before we deleted them all), and we don't want to give people reason to complain that we didn't warn them again. So this announcement is being posted here, with a link at the top of GPXPlus and on the Twitter. It's up to all of you to alert your friends who might be avoiding the site for one reason or another to hatch their eggs if they have anything they really want to keep.

The first run of this new system will affect the most accounts, obviously, so the site might be disabled for a short amount of time on the 7th so it can run uninterrupted with the least amount of lag. I've changed my mind. The countdown for all eggs will start on the 7th, meaning eggs that are already really old will not be instantly affected by this on the 7th. However, the site will still be turned offline temporarily while the system inputs the starting countdown for every egg.

EDIT: Also, eggs that are ready to be hatched will not be affected by this.

Please don't do something stupid like abandon all of your Pokémon and leave the site because of this announcement. The idea isn't even 100% thought up yet, and is definitely bound to change. We will make sure we do as much as we can to implement this AND keep people safe and happy who still come on the site, if only once a week.
