Default Re: Has anyone gotten refunds for PP\'s connection failure last night?

Yes....many players experienced outages at ALL major sites including Party, empire, UB, full-tilt, stars, etc.

I never got knocked off of any of them.

It was a geographic problem evidently.


I was on Party after all the 2+2'ers were complaining about getting knocked off. It still had 32k players logged-on....a few minutes before the outage it was at 40k players.

I checked out the Stars $11-rebuy tourney and it was continuing like normal even though there were 3 or 4 players sitting-out at most tables who had gotten disconnected.


Google was down also...and I think yahoo might have been as well.

It was some major too-doo between a couple of the big server companies or something.


So....I'm not arguing that they shouldn't give you refunds.
but it wasn't specifically a 'Party' outage.
It was a 'general' outage of some sites in some areas.
There were MANY players who never lost conenction with Party or Stars or anywhere else...while other players couldn' log-on to a single-site (but still had internet access and were posting about their outage probs right here at 2+2).
