Nope, amazon has no estimated time they think it will be back up.

[DOAPSaint]

Do we. Have any type of time period in which the game should be back up?

Grammar much?
and I doubt anybody knows for sure... We'll probably just hear when it's all fixed up.

[Venomi]

Gotta love the devs, apologizing for stuff they have nothing to do with. Relax guys! No need for apologies, most of us realize that this is beyond your control. As for the idiots on Facebook, ignore them. Even the most intelligent people turn into retards the second they log into Facebook. Facebook does that to people somehow . Lol

LOL so true

[Yoshura]

Best bet is to just forget about PL for the next 24 hours and save yourself the stress.

[DOAPSaint]

I wish there were other games like PL on the iphone that I could play while I wait... ITS JUST THAT NOTHING COMPARES

[Greyhorse]

Gah! Aieeee! *twitch* *flail*

There is a game like PL but way better graphics so you need a very high end phone (tegra 2 tablet recommended) and you need wifi to play online and its a huge file and each update you have to redownload it. I played it for an hour and said f it to much screen lag to enjoy and my phone was recommended as a high end device able to play it but the game pretty much only runs smooth on a tegra 2 device. I don't want to say the name here so pm me if you're interested. Edit - It's free on android market now and supports 3G/4G.

Interesting read about the cause off this outage.. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/04/2...sites-offline/ sorry Pl / STS, I know this is horrible for you. as for us players it sucks too. I just hope it gets fixed soon for everyone, Pl and us gamers

the amazon now has problem with some of EBS volumes and this results in data not being able to be send/receive from host to server. therefore the server is unable to send/receive data between client and server.

HOST = AMAZON
SERVER = STS
CLIENTS = PLAYERS

so in short just wait for xx hours. its won't be up for at another xx hours. its a 2 digit number but less than 20. guess it yourself.

SpaceTime chose Amazon instead of managing their own servers, so in a way, they share responsibility for our inability to access the game. I understand that the EC2 outage is Amazon's fault, but SpaceTime does have some responsibility to their customers to choose a server model that is reliable. Granted Amazon Cloud has some of the best uptime % in the world, and they are a great choice, but just because you chose cloud computing, doesn't absolve you entirely of all responsibility. I think SpaceTime knows this, and that is why it's reasonable for them to apologize a little to us. : )

Old-school server anyone?

Wow this guy is asking to be banned! Rember people this is a free game with no monthy subscription to provide devs with money to host thier own server, program, comeup with new ideas, etc. Besides even if they did manage thier own servers who says it would be more or just as stable? Cloud has been a very reliable host but this outage is a very big black mark imo.

I don't think the devs are to blame at all... Cloud has been very reliable and was probably the best choice. Now that the servers are down everyone suddenly thinks that it was a bad decision to choose Amazon. I'm betting that this will never happen again once it is fixed, and blaming people and complaining about it won't put the servers up any faster. I'm shocked how many people are posting and complaining that have barely joined/posted in the forums before!

If they managed their own servers, this game would not be free. They would have to charge a monthly fee to play.

he is not talking about who to blame. he is talking about responsibilities and he subjected it in a very reasonable way. he is not trying to blame sts for choosing amazon, neither is he blaming amazon for having this problem from what i understand in his post. and responsibilities is what everyone needs to make it a better world in technological or physical state.

hmmm...?

but just because you chose cloud computing, doesn't absolve you entirely of all responsibility.

Why would he say that at all then?
Also, he edited his post a few times to make it sound less like an accusation...

[burgerdeel]

Any way we can get an email / push notification when the server is up?
