Niantic and Nintendo are yet to respond as to when the servers will be back up. Now we will have millions of people outside….without their beloved Pokemon GO. Niantics app has gone global today, officially releasing in 26 countries around the world. But it wasn’t meant to be it seems as their servers have been compromised and are currently out of order for the foreseeable future.

This comes after a crazy week For the App after surpassing tinder and twitter for active users around the world, it will be interesting to see how Niantic and Nintendo respond to this and what the future will hold as far as server loads. The App has been having issues with the load coming as people all around the world flocked to the app as it went viral.

Well we hope everything gets figured out soon, so we can get back to congregating at parks and staring at our phones trying to catch imaginary creatures! #CantWait

UPDATE: as of JUL 16 @ 12:48 servers are back up and running!
