The smiley mini items we had told you about earlier will be released tomorrow, according to the first March issue of Pogo Insider! Here are the graphics used in the Insider:
From the monthly archives:
March 2008
When you’re trying to get into a game room and get a message reading “This service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”, it means there’s a problem with the Pogo game servers. They may be performing some kind of emergency maintenance, the servers may have crashed or gone down, or it may have been planned.
Other messages and errors you might get include the following:
- “System Too Busy” error: “Our server is currently busy and can not process your request at this moment.”
- “Tokens Unavailable” (or your token amount may be zero — gasp) and “This Pogo Mini is unavailable” where your mini should be on your home page
- “Your info could not be accessed at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.” when you try to view Badge Central
- The Mini Mall may be replaced with a message that reads “Sorry! The Mini Mall is down for maintenance. Please try back later.”
Do not panic!
We repeat: PLEASE. Do. Not. Panic.
Pogo will be back up soon. Your tokens, mini, badges, albums, gems, and everything else will be just the way they were before the servers went down. And you might get a new game, new mini items, or absolutely nothing out of the harrowing ordeal of being Pogo-less for a few minutes (or — dread the thought — hours)!
These outages don’t always affect the servers for deluxe games, so if you have (and haven’t finished) Tri-Peaks 2, Lottso! Deluxe
Pogo has created several new backgrounds and mini items that have a relaxation/spa vacation feel. (Remember the Dr. Kathleen Hall items? Like those, only much classier.) There are scenes from what appears to be a mountain retreat, a beach, and an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The mini goodies include candles, a small round cushion, a mortar and pestle (looks more like a chilled bottle of champagne to us, heh), and a relaxing water feature fountain. There is also a yin-yang t-shirt, a silk robe (pink for women, light blue for men), and a yoga outfit in darker shades. Expect these to be released in the near future.
And do you remember the “Life of the Party” lampshades that were released a while ago? They’re coming back for a while, too. Expect those in the near future as well.
