Can someone help me with Puzzle Pirates?

Question

Hi, Did puzzle pirates shut down or something? I can't go to yypedia, log on, go to the puzzle pirates website or anything. Please help!

Answer 1

Hey yeah I've been playing it for 5 years and it's never happened before. I've been asking the same question but get no answers. Is there an outlet for us to find out whats going on? Well anyway I'm going through withdrawal. I hope that guy is wrong and they didn't run out of money. But it can't be anything good. If you find out any more information send some my way. Thanx!

P.S. The Three Rings Design website has been down for 2 days as well!

Answer 2

Cant believe it is taking so long to fix - over 12 hours!!! They should have backup servers or hot standby servers so that if anything goes wrong on the main, they can switched to the backup.  

Answer 3

Why don't you try accessing it from miniclip.com?

Answer 4

Hypnos posted this a day or so ago:

"Our director of infrastructure found that there is a routing issue inside the network of our ISP that is preventing us from contacting certain sections of the internet.

This will also prevent some players from accessing our servers. We've filed a ticket with our ISP and will report when it is fixed! Our apologies for any inconvenience; you can contact me directly at hypnos (at) puzzlepirates.com with further concerns such as subscription time, badge days, etc."

However, the whole site went down tonight for a bunch of us, so whether its totally broken now, or just expanded to more people, I don't know.

Answer 5

Their ISP has broke. Will be fixed in a day or 2.

Answer 6

Puzzle pirates did shut down cuz they ran out of money to host the game.

     Ps:Its boring

Answer 7

I actually have it downloaded to my computer and still can't access it.  Maybe if it's a DNS issue and we knew the numeric IP things would help but unless someone who actually has access can tell us I don't think anyone who lacks access will be able to figure it out.  (Most sites that offer it as a service are unable to access it as well)

Edit:  I just looked through the logs and found the IP for Malachite and I can't ping it directly, so that doesn't work either, guess we'll just have to wait it out.

Answer 8

I am also finding it hard to access the Puzzle Pirates page, as well as links through other sites(miniclip.com) and the whole threerings page.

I am not sure whats going on, but i know that people that have PP downloaded to their Desktops can access it.

Answer 9

DON'T SAY THAT IT HAS SHUT DOWN!

Lol.

I love that game.

However, when I last left it, a lot of things in the dub oceans were being renovated so it may be that.

Lol.

Wouldn't they have given notice or something?

Ohhh, I really hope they don't shut it down.
