I have spent most of Monday trying to figure out why we were unable to play any Scrabble games at GameSpy Arcade. From what I was able to ascertain from GameSpy Helpers is 2 possible scenarios;
1) The site servers are down
2) The site has shut down due to nonpayment
(Please note this may have been from a prankster in the helpers lobby)
I am hoping it is #1, because that leaves a good chance that we will be playing again soon.
IF it is #2, we be screwed simply.
The GameSpy Helpers really had no idea what was going on for sure. I was unable to find a phone number to call and ask directly. IF anyone knows of one, Please post it here or send me an email.
From reading the posts in GameSpy Helpers, I saw that no one on GameSpy was able to play any of the games today, so it could be either of the 2 possibilities. Usually we get some kind of notice via email if the site is going to be shut down for any maintenance, so I was baffled when I tried to play Scrabble earlier, then found out there were no games working right.
I have emailed Katt6410 to see if she knows anything about it, but have not heard back from her yet. Hopefully, she is trying to find out.
IF anyone knows what is going on with GameSpy Arcade PLEASE post it here.
I hate this, because it reminds me of what happened when MPlayer got rid of the Scrabble site a few years back.
