The Pokémon Go Servers Are Down And The World Has Stopped Turning

The Pokémon Go Servers Are Down And The World Has Stopped Turning

Unconfirmed reports of global riots.

HEARTBREAK, DISASTER, RIOTS, CATASTROPHE; the Pokémon Go servers are down.

The light in our lives, the saviour of modern day smart phone apps, the Mona Lisa of life went down this afternoon and the world simultaneously stopped turning.

It seems that the servers can't cope with the popularity of the game, as the amount of people logging into it are causing it to crash and freeze.

When will it be available again? We don't know. What can you do in the meantime? Weep. Cry. Worry.

Or, if you're feeling a bit feisty, go and do something productive. Live life like a normal person.

Niantic is yet to comment on the issue, but it best get its act together.
