Perfect time to have lunch.
Frontiers Servers down?
- Thread starter Deamawa
- Start date
But I just woke up (EDT). It's too soon for a nap.
Seriously though, I can wait. No big deal
Edit: it's actually EST now, but I'll leave it as-is. Too many good replies to change it now.

It's always EDT when I wake up, which in my world, means Elite Dangerous Time.But I just woke up (EDT). It's too soon for a nap.

Except for when it's not. Which is now apparently.
Switzerland zero points
i guess you didn't read the previous 10 pages?
I didn't see the downtime notice and was having a nice little on foot climbing challenge at one of the engineering bases. Didn't get booted until I told my ship to take off
Another vote that goes to Slovenia without knowing why XD
Several people have said it's clear what the problem is. Frontier host ED on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which of course has lots of different tiers depending on how much capacity is needed. Frontier very clearly underestimated (by a country mile) how many players would want to try the new PowerPlay and / or the Mandalay on top of how many people would be playing anyway, and the AWS servers couldn't be scaled up quickly enough. Thus, as is always the case when too many requests are made of a server that cannot process them all, they all fail and the server crashes. 
ED Ascendancy is quite literally a victim of its own success.

And in the star port bar, zero pints.
Ah, but star ports don't sell that.
(but they should)
Wait. what? I thought folks a while back were saying the game was dead, yet there's now too many players?Several people have said it's clear what the problem is.
