Man if it still doesn't work well now, how is it going to work when even more people are going to get on this for the public one.
It wont. This site is doomed. I just want to get something out of it before I abandon ship.

Exactly

Which is why I'm trying to get one nice item now and then I'm done with lockerz when I use all of these ptz.

After that, I begin planning for the launch of my site next year.

Is there gonna even be anything left when the public one opens?
 
It's not easy to deal with the amount of traffic going to their site right now. Consider this: Even Facebook is having problems with people constantly F5ing the Lockerz page, and Facebook probably has servers that are a gazillion times better than Lockerz.

They should've gotten better servers.

Then they should have planned this site's structure out better so it's not built upon the concept of thousands of people trying to redeem simultaneously.

Ya, it's poorly planned. Hopefully they have a different system when it officially launches.

We are not going live with Z-list redemption yet. Sorry for delay. This should ONLY affect 60,000 out of 4 million members though :-). The reason for the delay is very high non Z-list traffic load that has caused some PTZ display issues that we want to fix before we go live with the redemption. We'll keep you posted. We are as frustrated as you are. Hang in, Z-listers.
Ughhh.....
 
Only 60,000 z-listers out of a million+? Nice. Thought it was more.

Absolutely idiots trying to redeem when they are not z-list.. *facepalm*

Fuck thatt shit. Just yet ? What does that mean ? In a hour or two when it's 3 in the night here ?

So given those figures, there is probably 200 000 people trying to access, becuase I assume most people that aren't Z-listers are not idiots trying to get on when they can't get anything. Yes its a random guess and has no basis at all really, but its a large amount when compared to the amount of people that should be trying to get on. Yet there are 4 million other members, so lets say that half those people try to get on, there is no way that site is going to work.

So as of today I'll have 250ptz and 19 invites. Should I cash in and bail out or save for a PS3 at this point?

Get something and bail the fuck out.

Prices are rising after this one.

Still, you have to keep in mind that we will probably be able to get more points by playing games and watching videos with ads.
 
I'm pretty much losing hope that I will be able to get something decent on the general redemption, especially if the slightly less than 4 million users number is true.
 
Data issues continue so we cannot post yet. We know this is frustrating for Z-listers and we're all hands on deck fixing the issues. We don't want a redemption that has lots of bugs on it. Again, this is for Z-list only and does not affect general membership. Thanks for your patience. We'll have another update in 15 minutes.

Wow!
 
"Hey guys! We know your frustrated but we really want you guys to know we're just upgrading the software! Don't expect any new servers anytime soon! This does not affect general members either!"

Talk about a terrible lie...

Who actually believes that Lockerz is actually doing anything? It's not like there's a magical software out there that one can code to deal with a massive influx of users. Because if such software exists, send it to GAF. :lol

I think they're just trying to wait till people get tired of waiting and then stealth open the site or something.

I wonder if they have that many legit members though. Everyone who rushed to become a Z lister spewed out 20+ invites. Sure, there's no real investment required from a user besides answering bullshit questions, but the site still has that scammy feel to it. Even if it's legit, they chose the worst way to bring it up.

The site is shit, so many people won't get anything. They'll also have to inevitably raise the prize values by a sizable amount to deal with the people with built up points they're never able to spend.

Finally....we're getting very close. Posting is gradual over next 5 minutes. Sorry this has been so difficult. We added some extra goodies to say thank you for your patience. Tomorrow's redemption at noon may be late as well depending on traffic load. This was why we did not want to post ANY times to avoid this happening. More lessons learned :-). Thanks.
Wonder what the extra goodies are.
 
So whats going on in here? They announced the z-list restock was going to be at noon and it's now 9pm and the site has been broken all day? I haven't been following the thread so I'm just trying to catch up.
