You are still new... you forgot to blame Cinco. :D

[Survivorfan]

He will learn eventually

[Jaesiah]

Lol woth as crazy as cinco is I wouldn't blame him for anything. That's mad crazy yo!

[davidis57]

An update was posted on FB. Amazon is having trouble with their servers and the problem is beyond our control it is being worked on.

[Arterra]

Cinco cast off his blame shackles with his awesome video appearance. I say we target another dev... Can you guys tell us who works in accounting?

[Redbridge]

loving the youtube video...

Poor devs need to somehow shutoff FB posting when something like this happens. Those players don't listen to nothing or nobody.

[waisted menkey]

Oh gawd, I don't even wanna look. Was gonna go to the fb but now glad I checked here first. Thanks for the heads up devs... Looking forward to playing some, just got game yesterday lol

[waabery37]

Just so everyone here knows whats goin on with fb "why i no able to log in to PL?"

[RobertVV]

It is taking so long

[WILLIAM cmy]

Would there be any kinds of compensation for such service interruption caused to us?

[skavenger216]

Would there be any kinds of compensation for such service interruption caused to us?

I would say no, its not like we pay a monthly fee or anything. Now if we had to pay a fee for server access then I would expect a credit or reimbursement. But as it is now, logging in and playing is free, all you have paid for is content. If anything, amazon owes a lot of companies, STS included, something for the downtime.

[Ladylove]

Lol I love how the server goes down for not even a whole day and people FREAK OUT. THE SKY IS FALLING!!! I CANT PLAY PL!!!!

[StompArtist]

Lol I love how the server goes down for not even a whole day and people FREAK OUT. THE SKY IS FALLING!!! I CAT PLAY PL!!!!

Think of the children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dalonewolf]

So this is what it feels like to quit pl...

[Ladylove]

-scratches neck violently- ZOMG I NEED PL SO ITCHY

[skavenger216]

Lol I love how the server goes down for not even a whole day and people FREAK OUT. THE SKY IS FALLING!!! I CAT PLAY PL!!!!

I hope these people never decide to give WoW a chance..... the WoW servers go offline for 12 hours every Tuesday for server maintenance. They would be pooing themselves once a week! Lol

I guess what I'm saying is that the servers being down for a bit isn't that big of a deal.

[anglfyr]

I used to run an ircd server.. server problems.. it happens.. its normal. So chillax guys!

[Drekkthar]

Is server being down reason I cant intall update as well?

[CanonicalKoi]

What device are you using, Drek? For IOS, it may not show up as an update. Just search Pocket Legends on the app store and install--that's what I had to do for my iPad.

[Meabegitag]

LOL how much longer will the Servers be down? lol I'm goin to a restraunt and need to know what time It will be back so I can get my PL fix for today LOL

[Elf-Orc-Naga]

Thats why i cant connect. Well Im patient :) waiting for amazon blah blah to be fixed... Thanks for the information dev! Ps i thought asomer handles bug problems? Just wondering where he is. Keep up the good work for all the devs!

[Drekkthar]

Samsung vibrant / android.

[Futumsh]

No estimate from Amazon currently - as soon as it's fixed on their end we'll get the servers running again.

[darkerelf]

Been checking all day, feels like I have no life without PL. Wish there was some kind of progress note to ensure the community. What would I do without Pl.. so frustrating..

[darkerelf]

I also saw an update in the market for 1.7.1.1, what's to come? Is there any info of that in patch forum?

[azulflame]

[Pokechmp]

Playing PL... Testing if servers r up.

[Wbto-Angeluscustos]

[Pokechmp]

Servers still down

8:45 CST

[Xymorg]

Zomg! Turns out I have a whole family that lives here with me! They are kinda like PL friends, but their gear is strange....

[Dark Avenger]

Ugh, bad time for PL to go down. Gonna be up all night working security and nothing to do FML...

[polonewnew]

This is the Amazon Cloud .... hoho

[Fabunni]

It must be Armageddon!! Roflmbo :)

[Rudyrokz]

does anyone know if playstation network runs off of amazon severs too?.....Nothing to do, PS3 AND Pocket legends are both down. :'(

[maddogcharlie]

I found these things made from trees in a box at the back of my closet, ....i did start reading one but fell asleep pretty quick, no good we need our PL back.
...........but seriously the Amazon thing is massive we had to resort to redundant failovers today because of it so not much spacetime can do, ..... Except rest then work twice as hard next week to get Blackstar finished :)

[skavenger216]

does anyone know if playstation network runs off of amazon severs too?.....Nothing to do, PS3 AND Pocket legends are both down. :'(

Yes, PSN also runs off the same servers.

[Necrobane]

What about the xbox network?

[japanboy]

Wait... Hope server up as soon, and wait here dev news....

[Claritamystic]

Easter made PL fail!

[DOAPSaint]

Whoa... You still play Clarita??? Remember we farmed swamps together a long time ago. I deleted you off my friend list cuz I thought you quit... Easter is tomorrow for me so I hope it's back up by then

[KaotiicxDream]

Don't apologize Sam!!!! It's not ur guys fault ;-)

As I said earlier:

What's wrong with Pocket Legends? Nothing. What's wrong with Amazon? A lot.

[Acyer]

Yeah sam take this time and work on B* hehe...

[ICantSpel]

My 1 day off in 2 weeks n its down ;l

[Claritamystic]

Whoa... You still play Clarita??? Remember we farmed swamps together a long time ago. I deleted you off my friend list cuz I thought you quit... Easter is tomorrow for me so I hope it's back up by then


college exams hit me hard but yes I still play! Those where the days DOAPSAINT;)

[Rudyrokz]

Yes, PSN also runs off the same servers.

Ok thanks for the info.

[Stull]

If Cinco is the guy in the awesome PL video announcing the main spine content is free, and what-not, then he seems like he would be fun/annoying to hang out with! The guy is over the top!

[Kindread]

Cinco looks like a lvl20 barbarian lol. Put him in armor and give him a two handed sword and he'll look legit.

[legitmerchant]

Looks like Amazons North Virginia servers are still down.... Looks like I'll be getting some studying done after all ;)

Check here (http://http://status.aws.amazon.com/) for Amazon's EC2 status

[Lijane]

Still not working.
I have suspicious that problem with amazon servers is problem with Spacetimes Studios money -Amazon wants more cash...
Its normal If nobody knows whats happen and why-its always question of money.
But im sure problem be solved soone or later

[Primal]

Better check here (http://status.aws.amazon.com/).

[Aerospacegod]

Why wouldnt they simply(probably not simple but doable) allow the cali servers to share the load while one is down...seems like this could cost lots of people money, not just spacetime.

I just want to login and try my new helmet and shield :P

[braluk]

Looks like they project most volumes to start coming back online within 5 to 6 hours. I can't take it anymore!

[mejslll]

that answers my question ... thanks
