Board Game Arena

i can't load pages (except for the forums)

Me neither. Games won't load. Trying to get the error message back up so I can get a screen shot and submit, but I can't get it anymore. Might be close to being resolved.

odd that BGA isn't making an announcement of the service interruption. that's what is throwing me off.

I really wanted to get on and play today wish I knew what was up??

Yes, here too connection problems.
A lot of "timeout-errors" and very often "disconnected from gameserver".
Have to play moves i already played again (turn-based).
Think because so many people are online at the moment; "2610 players online" Wow!

WOW!!!
2948 players online
Maybe we are going to hit 3000!
Too bad the site is almost not playable right now.

And yes; more than 3000!
3064 players online. Amazing!

Yes, many many players online. This happened last week on Sunday too. BGA is going to need to upgrade their infrastructure soon to handle this increased load!

the dreaded love letter effect

Dear all.

The service is experiencing a lot of stability issues today. Sorry about that.

We identified the issue and we are working on it. This is a tough one so it's going to take time, but this is our #1 priority now.
