Vials and decay times

People will complain about anything! Some were only loyally
reporting, I know, and others were just making sure. Still,
you'd think we had destroyed something precious.

Today we shuffled around the decay times on some vials.

All decay times that were changed, were increased, meaning
that the vials would last longer.

Why did we do this? Because after the recent changes
with IMAGINE and new vial issuance, we had a LOT of vials
that were going to decay at the same moment. Over 14,000 in
fact! Now, normally a few hundred vials might decay at any
one time. Fine. But fifty or a hundred times as many vials
decaying at the same time might have caused more slowing
than would have been fun.

So we spread those 14,000 vials across a much longer
period.

ALARM! DISASTER! VIALS ARE GETTING YOUNGER!

Calm now. All is well. Take it as a gift, and enjoy.

Penned by my hand on the 13th of Lupar, in the year 454 AF.
