Servers are down as of 22' 10.05. 19:30 CET, its starting all over again...

Oh no.

That's what PS gets for making me loose with AAKK over 666 and flying out of a tourney as first person.

We don't need more black magic, please.

I'm sorry guys. I'll put away my lovely PS voodoo doll. 🙊

Just wanted to play a MTT at PokerStars and once again there are "connection problems".

How can it be that they just can't get it fixed?

At Facebook, YouTube and Co. there were e.g. also once server problems that had caused great unrest but then they had it firmly under control.

At PokerStars it happens again and again, currently it is as bad as almost a year ago where they were also repeatedly exposed to hacker attacks.

They don't even provide transparent explanations to the outside world, and I don't think there was any real compensation.
In the long run, they are slowly but surely ruining their reputation when they are more and more shaky as a renowned provider.

GGPoker has already overtaken them in terms of player volume. They can't afford to piss off their customers like this.

What do you think about it?

Am I the only one who's starting to get a little carried away?

I was about to go to PS but didn't come in and wondered if it was my laptop or if they were having problems again. But now I know it was Andyreas who had cast a spell on PS

 

[Andyreas]

At least they posted something on their twitter much sooner than previously:

But not a lot of info, yet.

Andyreas, disenchant PS please now
If I win something, your 10%)

 

[bowserdon]

[Andyreas]

Andyreas, disenchant PS please now

I lost control of the spell guys, SO sorry!

I only started playing again a few months ago but indeed I am unhappy with the current performance.

I checked out GG indeed, but not because of the recent events but I cannot complete the verification process. They don't tell me what's the problem and I stopped after 3 or so tries.

I barely logged in yesterday, was thinking it was my issue.
So it is a pattern then. I haven't been playing on PS for a while

I was playing some $100 spin gos and everything crashed, it was going so well, and now.

 

[Andyreas]

All tourneys will be cancelled again:

So guess I should take the time to study a bit more.

I think that's the worst answer they can gave, so once again, they could not fix their problem in an appropriate time. It's almost like they are saying: we are to weak to being a proper poker site. Very disappointing.

Glad am on here, at least now i know its not just me when things like this happen. I wont get as stessed out.

 

[fundiver199]

Luckily I got my playing done earlier in the day, so I am not affected by this. I can also highly recommend to have a second "favourite poker site" for situations like this, rather than stress and get upset about, when a site will be up and running again

 

[kunkgreen]

How can a company of that size manage to have so many problems in such a short time?! Oo'

The previous incidence was a DDOS attack. So its a bit like asking, how Gazprom can manage to have the Nordstream1 and Nordstream2 gas pines blown up. Or how 7/11 can manage to be hacked, so that all their credit card terminals are unuseable for days (happened in Denmark recently)

 

[Yermek]

Amazing. I thought it threw me out, I tried to log in from my tablet and phone

 

[gardin555]

Yesterday I was trying to send some stadistics from PS to my email , and then a windows appeared, asking to me about another email and one code they will send to me there to be able to validate my email adress with PS. I have never seen that before.
Then I write my new email adress there, trying to validate it with one code they sent to my new email account. I try to recover my old email adress to work with PS but I couldn´t did it. I think it could be one hacker attack. Of course I have changed the pw of my emails accounts, but anyway Im not calm with it.

 

[thedarkman]

No freerolls tonight! Message on Twitter that there are connection issues and tournaments have been cancelled.

 

[Only_player]

Its happended to often. Im glad that i dont play any tourneys today. I have a tilt when Im loose deep run after PS server fall down

 

[Yermek]

In my opinion, they have some kind of serious complex problem that they cannot solve.

 

[azteca6]

I tried to log in this morning and it only stays connected to the lobby. I assumed something like this happened, but it's been a couple of hours. The problem still can't enter. That's why I'm here in the chat.

Do we need two posts on the same subject?
