Bowl Full of Lag - VMK Down 3/1/07

[Leila33]

I got a message that said it was too full to enter. Then I checked on the main page and it says there are 6999 players online right now.

Heck, I always thought if it was 999, there was always room for one more!

Ok, I guess I am getting the goofyness started tonight

The title pretty much says it all. Gr. Double gr. T I Double-gr. Why, VMK, why?

 

[Tink-a-boo]

Im getting a message saying: The kingdom is full please come back at another time. Its so sad!

 

[mickey@dvc]

Just enough time to barely miss the ending of the host game.

They max out at 7000 players...I spotted that number about 10 minutes ago and ha da feeling people would be getting the "Kingdom is full" message. Then a couple of minutes ago I got the "VMK is closed" pop up (the one you get when the game closes for the night) and now I just got kicked off. I'm not all that pleased....

 

[jeffgwins]

Well here is the latest development! Now i have a new word for the gator waiter! !

 

[hdmonkeybug]

Well at least they sent us notes in the game to let us know that they are trying to fix it That makes me happy

that is really sad! I got a message saying that vmk has crashed and i need to login again. I wonder why

 

[jeffgwins]

Just enough time to barely miss the ending of the host game.

They will open at exactly 6:30pm pacific time. I know this because i can't get on vmk after that time tonight. Just see if i am right! It happens everytime.

 

[Tink-a-boo]

I wonder why its so busy.... anyone know??

 

[California_Dreamin]

I guess it's just one of those days? At around 2 o'clock there were no more than 2,000 players online and then suddenly an hour later it was maxed

Anytime mking624! That's me, always the frustrated journalist waiting for a breaking story. And this just in........... "VMK is currently having more crashes than the Stock Market!"

 

[Tink-a-boo]

Now im getting the: VMK is closed, sign. Could this get any worse?

Edit: Just tried logging in again and got: The server is too busy to process your request, try again later

 

[mking624]

Yeah it seemed really odd for a Thursday that it spiked up so high so quickly. Now every time I refresh the main page (which is every couple of minutes), it can't seem to make up its mind if has around 6700 or about 7000 players. But anytime I try to log on, it says the Kingdom is closed (not full, just closed).

I got that message just now as well...saying it was either due to maintenance downtime or to capacity issues.

 

[Tink-a-boo]

Yup.. its so painful not to be able to log into VMK

 

[mom2cookies]

see that's what's so great about dis ppl..... always finding the sunny side of vmk. LOL Very funny Ant.

 

[California_Dreamin]

Okay, so how about we take this time, step out, and explore the real world?
