Pokemon Go International Rollout Halted due to Server Issues

Pokemon Go is a huge hit among the users and looks like its developer Niantic is facing hard time. Pokemon Go is the faddish game which is based on augmented reality or AR especially designed for iOs and Android systems. Recently company planned for a global roll out but it looks like company has halted the plan because of the heavy load on the server. This suspension will let the developers have the time to increase the capacity of the servers.

Business Insider released the report in which John Hanke Niantic CEO tweeted that for now users sitting in the other countries might not be able to get their hands-on this game until there are enough servers to handle the capacity. We have been working hard to fix this server issues and thank you all for your endurance. Once we are done with the server issue we will soon be launching this game in the other countries as well.

Amazon CTO Werner Vogels tweeted a friendly tweet in which he suggested Ninatic to use the Amazon’s web service hosting cloud services. He tweeted: “Dear cool folks at @NianticLabs please let us know if there is anything we can do to help! (I wanted that drowzee)”

Hankee also said that they were expecting their game to gain popularity but not to this extent. APP Annie Statistics provided a report in which they said Pokemon Go hit the number 1 spot in less than a day on US’s Apple’s App store.
