Pokémon Go |OT| As in "Go Outside"

Im kinda scared. I deleted the australian version of the app and downloaded the dutch version. Now Im scared my saved game won't carry over. Ofcourse I cant check with the servers being down.

Can anyone ease my thoughts?

My GF's save worked between different versions. Can't be 100% sure for you of course.
 
Game are saved server side. No worries if you login to your account.

You mean my gmail account right?

Pfew. Thnx. Im level 10 so ive put in a good few hours.

Edit; you know what was fun? Yesterday on friday night I went out in the club as usual. People where playing pokemon go lol including the girl i am interested in. Well the two girls im interested in actually haha. They even played the pokemon theme song in the club.

the hype is insane. Earlier this week we organised a pokemon go get together. I work for a website, gamer.nl, a big dutch gaming website. So we made a facebook event for a meet up on the market in a city called haarlem. The marked was filled with people, 500 folks at any given moment. It was insane.

I downloaded the APK a week ago and just the other day deleted it and downloaded the UK version when it released. It was all there.

Will be fine. I was playing the US app in Indonesia and switched to the Dutch version earlier today before the servers crapped out and saves and everything carried over just fine.
 
You mean '04?

Yeah, WoW is really old.

Well, I was thinking specifically about the launch of LK and that whole month of fun we had in Naxx before they fixed their issues. Nothing better than downing a boss and the server kicking you out of the game. Good times.

But yeah, it was a mess before too.
 
Where abouts are you? I assume close to Liverpool? I'm in Runcorn there are 2 Pokestops within a 10 minute walk, and that's one of the better places!
Yep, near Liverpool, and not too far from St Helens which I assume will be quite populated with Pokestops too - but anywhere outside there it seems really sparse.

Hopefully something they improve when the servers are sorted, because they'll need to - people will only play so long if there's no Pokestops / gyms near them. I'm lucky I work in the city so I can at least catch some Pokemon in the week.
 
Game launched in my country just few hours ago. Too bad they didn't prepare for this properly. But I guess I am used to this by now.. I played a lot of Blizzard game midnight launches.

I was really excited to play this. :(
 
It does. It tracks everything for me up until around 30 mph. Went on a 30 min drive the other day to hit up pokestops in a small town I work in, I hatched two 5KM eggs I started that day.

Sweet. Time to be the slowest driver alive lmao.

I kinda assumed that the game stops tracking at speeds faster than running or cycling. Running was my guess.
 
i just destroyed 3 gyms within spitting distance of each other and claimed them as my own, as soon as I go to take a snapshot for proof, the servers crashed (I went to position it so it would show all 3, but it bugged as i was adjusting.
 
Me and friends started a fun Pokemon adventure and servers are dead 😞

Damn, I don't get to go outside my area often and I was quite excited.

At least I got some new Pokemon early in the morning.

SHOW US THE RECEIPTS!!!
 
It doesn't track distance at driving speed anyways.

It does on mine. There's a delay in the tracking. My 15 minute commute to work every morning gets me about 2K, and there is only a slight area where traffic is slow moving. However, the 2K does not show up for a good 5-10 minutes after I get to work. It's not immediate.

Think i might start taking the bus to work. London traffic sure is slow.

I was actually gonna leave the house today, then the servers died :(

I drive all over for my job and it never tracks at driving speed. I though I could just leave it on and get distance.
 
Pokémon GO Wire (unofficial channel ) is reporting it as a DDOS attack.

Millions of people trying to log in could be interpreted as a DDOS attack :p

There is no real difference between a DDOS attack and millions of people logging in at once. So no, its probably just the 26 countries trying to get in.

When I was getting mileage added I was driving through subdivisions at around 20-25mph. Sometimes slower if I didn't have anyone around me. And like others have said it doesn't add time immediately, it was about a 2 minute delay to show progress.

I even started going through downtown more when leaving for work just so I could get slower traffic.

Pokemon Go. Road Rage Savior.

I mean, yeah, but they've usually got some sort of stupid logic to it don't they

well, whatever, it's probably not the case anyway. and if true I don't want to be able to understand these people

It's most likely not. Most people judging by Twitter don't even know it launched in other countries today and just think the game is fucked again. That's what happens when you don't communicate with your clientele
 
damn, went for a walk with my brother and didn't notice that the servers were hardly working until we were past a few poke stops and they were not working, trying to log back in just kept freezing on the warning screen.

RIP several pidgeys I could have found.

Yeah, communication is... poor, to say the least.

I realise they're all focused on the launch and on fixing the server issues, but it's not difficult to hire a social media / communications role whose responsibility it is to keep the social channels up to date with what's going on.

It seems like this success caught them off guard, which given the numbers is understandable, but stuff like having someone keep social media up to date is just basic stuff which should have been covered from day one.
