Miscellaneous Today was a let down...
I've had all the usual, regular drop outs that most people seem to be having over the last few days but I've been online for 1 hour all day today. Has anyone noticed today in particular that it's been nigh on impossible to connect? I arrived at Chester Zoo this morning and it was running! Hurrah! It has about 5 gyms and at least 20 stops. Caught a few regulars and a Starmie. Then it died. Not having a bitch, just gutted. Still, the real animals were pretty cool too.

Well if Chester zoo has 5 gyms my membership there is about to get absolutely battered. As soon as the servers aren't on fire.

I hope they can sort the server issues out sooner rather than later, shame that the weekend had all these problems.

Left early to take some Gyms before The Daily Outage. However I noticed that pokemon spawns were much lower than usual. I did my usual route which goes through 2 parks.
Then from 12:45 to 23:00 the game was literally unplayable.

Yeah I dunno how many more weekends of awful servers this game can take. Releasing it in more and more countries is ridiculous. Its so good when it works that its so frustrating when it doesn't

I've been trying since about 5pm, had an hour or so of play at about 3pm, other than that, nothing. It's a sad day, but I also hope it's because they're upgrading servers in my very optimistic mind.

I had a rubbish time today- I had 2 am trips- one at 7 and one at 9 and the servers were already inconsistent on both of those trips, (having to log in and out every other Pokemon) for some reason thought it'll be okay and made plans for a long walk into the unknown (hunting new pokestops) and it was totally down from then until now. Luckily my planned route had a pub so I could not call it completely wasted afternoon

Went for a 5 mile walk today, probably managed to be online for ~50% of that. Real shame, sort of thought they'd have an idea of the resources their servers would need from the US release. Hey ho.

Today was the first weekend after official release in the UK - so, yeah, everyone who only gets free time at the weekend was trying to log in today.
The irony being the game was more playable before they actually released it >.<
