log in problem
 

ok i was in a pvp match a few mins ago and right as i exit my game crashes so i keep trying to log back and it always says theres a problem verifying the account id and so i go to the website and that wont even it says problem loading page is this happening for anybody else is pirates down?

yes site just went down a few minutes ago

I saw this post and gave it a try. Yup, I'm locked out too. I really am starting to wonder what in the world is going on down at their headquarters. They've been having so many problems lately that I really am worried that something may happen. I mean, there were those major issues with the rollbacks about a month or two ago. And now recently there are even more issues. Less major, but still there.

I'd just wait a little bit. Hopefully it'll be back in the morning. I think I'll send them an email. I'll probably just get a generic reply, but it's worth a try.

EDIT: Just checked the POTCO site. Its down too. I'm looking at Toontown... looks dead too. So its not POTCO only. Its all of Disney's online games.

Test is down too. I tryed opening the launcher but nothing happened.

Well, test has been down for a while mate. I think that issue is something completely different.

OK, well at least it's not just me. Everything appears to be down.

yeah toontown is down too they did say yesterday they were having network problems u dont suppose they are having ddos issues do u?

yes major redo for test apparantly they working on start a pirate but i dont know how it could affect all of the site

All disneys are down. :psmiley27:

This might lead to something bigger...

I am starting to see a pattern. Maybe it's a coincidence but some other non-Disney online games are having issues too.

I think they are all on vacation. We might see resolution Monday.

Aye, DDO is not owned by Disney and if they are also having problems then this is something much bigger. I fear what this may be, and I truly mean that. I have a RL friend who plays DDO, so I'll ask him about that. Very strange. Although I don't know what in the world could be wrong if other online games are having problems. After all, they don't share one massive server, unless you count the Internet itself. But we're all posting here so the Internet is fine. Very strange... as I may have said before, let's wait a bit. Some things fix themselves, and in that case, I suppose we can forget about this... unless something else happens...

Well mates it look like the zombie apocalypse has finally arrived! GET THE BLUNDERBUSSES, AIM FOR THE HEAD!!!!

I wish there is a zombie apacalypse, it would be EPIC!

Don't we all wish for one. -sighs softly-

wait, would that be the undead French or undead Spanish zombie apocalypse?

Yeah....

This is very off topic xD

EDIT: POTCO is up and running!

This is not a coincidence. The other day Playstation Network is down! It was down (And maybe still is) for a good week. I know that Fusion Fall had this same problem. There must be some explanation. I am thinking that it is something to do with hackers... but... why isn't WoW going down?

Because WoW has 11 million players, and probably a massive staff that has set up cyber defenses so it can't get harmed. I do think that your idea makes sense, lumpy, as its the only conceivable way that ALL of these sites can be going down at once.

- Gets a Flame Thrower and burns them all :D- - Brings an unlimited ammo Gatling gun off of Resident evil 5 -

LOl i would Prolly die the first week :D :DalmationEgg::SnowWhiteEgg:

As long as it gets fixed, I don't care if its hackers, zombies, solar flares, or the ghosts of outdoor games. Jimmy G says its up and running so lets game on!

I think they are off because its Easter and also Good Friday. Remember, they want to celebrate it too! So thats my prediction of why their closed.

Hackers would be a truly scary thought particularly if credit card info was compromised

What a coincidence, XBox Live was done not to long ago I heard...

I didn't logged at XBL all last week. But maybe there were problems there too.

From wut im hearingfrom my friends about all the gaming system online's it is caused by " Hackers " but i dont have a clue about the regular online games such as POTCO and Fusion Fall, or Toon TOwn, etc.....

Well, did anyone read my reason above? They could have the day off!!

I doubt it, according to IGN a big one is having the same issues as the rest of the online gaming worlds. Apparently PSN is down too.

WoW has been having issues (of the same general idea as what's going on with POTCO) lately as well. The boyfriend plays quite regularly and reported to me when I was fussing about our POTCO issues that WoW seems to be having the same problems; he originally thought it was just his end of the game but said he's got a good number of friends with the same complaints. 11+ million players and a big ol' staff don't mean a thing if The Interwebs just decides to bite the dust. :laughks2:

Well, the test launcher is not quite fixed, but it is different.

Now, previous news is displayed instead of a blank box, and several configuration options that were previously greyed-out are now open to click.

Still broken, but progress.

This is getting bigger. PSN already admitted that they were hacked. And they are sure that they lost vital player info.

it works on my mac i dunno

Finn, your login to the Test server works on your Mac?

I think I know what could of caused this problem. (Im a computer programmer) Over the past 2-3 years Toontown has been h a c k e d.... But... that does not effect the website in any way. The only way to bring down a website without manually h a c k i n g it... is using Telnet. This program overloads a website and causing the servers to shutdown, like in this printscreen im attaching.
Chances are the servers will be back online in a few hours after everything resets.. and hope the "bad guys" don't do it again

3472. That was some detailed info. Thanks.

I thought the only Disney game that was "hackable" was Clubpenguin. But who ever hacked in POTCO have cracked in pretty tough.

Yep POTCO is so buggy and hacked
