PoodleCorp Downs PokemonGo, People go Depressed

Posted on July 16, 2016 by Lee J

Updated at bottom to reflect Pokemongo servers upgrade.

Well it didn’t take to long, PokemonGo servers have come direct attack from PoodleCorp and as a result have been suffering some downtime.

It all started about 11PM EST Australia time, when PoodleCorp member XO, tweeted out "can anyone verify for us if PokemonGo is online or offline, it looks offline to us" along with a screen cap of some very big response times from the global PokemonGo servers.

Which was followed by a post from the main PoodleCorp account.

PokemonGo #Offline #PoodleCorp

— PoodleCorp (@PoodleCorp) July 16, 2016

Then a few hours later XO tweeted out that it was just a little test and that there is bigger targets to come.

Just was a lil test, we will do something on a larger scale soon .

The ddos seems to of been fairly effective with a redit thread containing some if not a lot of people complaining as well as the amount of people on twitter who are not so happy about it to.

The Pokémon go servers and my hopes have something in common. They're never up #PokemonGO

It's just getting worse…one minute #PokemonGO is down, next minute my bus is cancelled!

Update

Just like to point out that the PokemonGo Servers did indeed today expand and claim to of had issues as well.

Cheers to Roв0т;Cυɴтѕ for pointing this out.
