The post Hamster Kombat SCAM? Fans Panic as Game Mysteriously Shuts Down! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Fan Frenzy on Twitter
Hamster Kombat has garnered such a massive fan following that when the game failed to open yesterday, fans were in a frenzy on Twitter. Some people were even claiming that the Hamster community had finally been scammed. On the other hand, some thought the project team might be trying to bring a new update. Let’s find out what really happened and what the current situation is.
Hamster Failed to Load
Suddenly, the game’s Telegram clicker game stopped working. The game would not load on players’ phones, & everyone was getting the same error message- “ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.”
A simple Google search reveals that this error occurs when the system cannot find the correct IP address. This means that the game was unable to connect to its server. Hence, people believed that the Hamster team had shut down the servers and scammed them. Another reason for this error is outdated information stored on the system. This led to the speculation that the Hamster team might be updating the servers.
Updates from Official Hamster
When people started facing this login error, they began posting screenshots on Twitter. Within a few hours, the official Twitter handle of Hamster Kombat tweeted that the team was aware of the issue and was working to resolve it quickly.
About 7 hours later, they tweeted again, stating that the issue had been fixed and the game was back online.
Current Status
Even though the official Twitter of Hamster Kombat announced yesterday that the game was functional again, some people are still facing the same issue. Two hours ago, the Hamster team tweeted asking players who still can’t play to press the blue play button. If that doesn’t work, they should send the /start command to the Hamster Telegram bot to restart the game, as the old commands are no longer working.
Final Thoughts
It is very hard to say whether this downtime was due to a real error or if it was planned. We are finding it tough to believe that such a huge project that gained 12M followers on Twitter, 33M subscribers on YouTube, and 200M players on the game in record time would encounter such errors. However, the possibility of a technical issue cannot be ruled out. Regardless of what happened, players are happy that the game is back but upset because they missed out on a special card. A lot of people might be unaware of the fact that HMSTR token of this telegram is already exploding in pre market trading.
