Whilst I am certain that none of the above will fix your issue, I am quite happy to give you my assurances that they will, in turn this should achieve 3 things:
a) Really, really, really annoy you, because it so obviously isn't going to fix it.
b) Really, really, really annoy you because I am talking to you like a 4 year old.
c) Give you some insight as to how your players feel when they contact your support desk.
On a side note and to make a serious point. Some dude over at BB made a long post talking about how you radically changed the Easter Event this year to add "game balance". Whilst I can certainly see that game balance is something you would strive for, and whilst I can see why some of the changes were desirable form a game-play point of view, it suggests that BB have forgotten some of the fundamentals of TSO.
You see, what was better about last years event and spotted eggs was THAT THEY WORKED. Yes i know that they didn't work the first time and it took you several events (years) to make it work properly but fundamentally the advantage of the spotted egg system was that it worked. i.e That you troubleshot the issues years ago and then just reran essentially the same event. Given your inability to write new code and/or deploy it properly have BB not made a fundamental error in judgement with deciding to change each and every event every year. Does this not condemn the players to have huge in play (no-play) issues for each event whilst you troubleshoot the new code?
Like I say I am not criticizing your desire to add game balance, however surely things would run much smoother if you only recognized your weaknesses and worked around them, rather than pretending they do not exist!
In short, it is very difficult to see where the "added game balance" justified the extra risks you took with the code that subsequently blew up in your face!
