We certainly apologize for the inconvenience, and we more than anyone want the service to be available. When we launched Pocket Legends, we were only 6 developers. We chose Amazon EC2 and have been happy with them over the past year. Now that we're a tad larger, it will be an extremely high priority for us to make sure we can handle future cloud outages.
Unfortunately, if you look at Amazon's status page (http://status.aws.amazon.com), the North Virginia data center we use is unavailable. We're now looking into setting up servers on the both the east and west coast of the US in the event this happens again, but even if the west coast Pocket Legends servers were ready, we still cannot access our game database (which is where all the account and player data is stored).
