I'm on the bubble in two. The message said to wait in the lobby while the servers are being restarted. It didn't say anything about waiting four hours.

OK, from looking at the My Account Activity link from the websites, i find this:

I was in 12 SNGs @ $22 each. i think i had under 800 chips in each of them. My refunds are as follows:

27, 22, 24.22, 22,
27, 27, 27, 27,
22, 24.22, 24.22, 24.22

SO, overall, im pretty happy the servers crashed since i didnt have more than 800 chips in any SNG.

I hope a compensation bonus will be launched in all skins.
100% match up to $500.
It's disgusting that things like this happen and a COMPBONUS with 2x raked to clear is the least they can do

Any guess as to what they do with this?

If the server never comes back up they could offer you a million times deposit bonus and make it only require one hand to clear. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I wonder how many people would rush to their local Western Union in order to get in on that offer?

So 5:00pm EST is the magic number? 27 min. and counting...

For all of the times this could ahve happened it had to be a Saturday right in the middle of day, I bet they lost at least $1 million because of this. Crazy.

I'm guessing that since their support system is in India and they had a 7.6 earthquake hit them, they may not be too concerned about our poker-playing capabilities.

Almost 6 PM ... Party is still down for me. Has anybody called? I would but I don't have the number written down...

10-08-2005, 05:56 PM

/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I missed that. Damn, mother nature is not [censored] around this year.

I have 6:02. The earthquake may have hit them harder then they thought. Even if they are fine at the headquarters, the earthquake could have knocked out somthing important.

Party has their servers in Montreal. Apparently the servers are down. So it's unlikely to be related to the earthquake.

This is the "specific and credible" Al Qaida threat that Bush was talking about the other day.
