RPGNow is a mess today

I paid for some stuff, and get weird programming errors. So I sent in bug reports, because I can't get the items I paid for. And the site was very slow all day, and previews don't work on a lot of stuff. Kinda sucks, since it is a sale day.

It being a sale day might be why they are lagging.

Just sayin'

Got the same thing just now. Big Sale day, I reckon.

Re: RPGNow is a mess today

It's the online equivalent of big line-ups at each store, people getting trampled, disorganized stock, etc.

Re: RPGNow is a mess today

After all the hype about the Adamant sale on DriveThruRPG I tried going to my account and when I forgot my password it was all I could do to get a new one until I realized their address e-mails seem to go straight to my Spam file. Once I actually changed my password I got a "down for maintenance" error until just now.

EDIT: And now it lets me order but doesn't let me load.

Re: RPGNow is a mess today

Yeah, I bought a couple items at DriveThru today and paid via Paypal. When I got redirected to the site, I got some error message that the servers were down for maintenance and try again later. When I did get in, I didn't have links for the products I purchased, so I emailed Customer Support. They tried to blame Paypal, citing a lag in payment, but said they were able to fix the problem. When I returned later to download the items, I got more weird error messages. After several retries, I finally got the items to download, the last of which is still running now. Obviously, they're having problems with the load due to the sale.

Re: RPGNow is a mess today

I ordered from them about a month ago, and wierd crap happened with my order. No email invoice, no record of hte order in my account, but i got billed on my credit card.

While i was trying to sort it out with customer service, the stuff i ordered showed up in the mail. Closed that ticket right out.

Re: RPGNow is a mess today

Tell you what -- if anybody tries to buy Adamant stuff during the sale and are unable due to site errors, go ahead and take a screen shot of the error message.

If you're not able to make your purchase by trying again later during the sale, go ahead and send me the screen shot after our sale ends (on Tuesday the 1st) -- I'll honor the sale price for you. We'll work it out -- you can Paypal me directly, and I'll send you the links myself.

Re: RPGNow is a mess today

The problem I'm having is that my shopping cart seems to randomly tip over and spill its contents.
I finally got 5 items in it and checked out before they disappeared.
I'm going in for Round 2...I'm shopping almost exclusively in the Adamant Entertainment aisle.

Just saying...I hadn't paid Adamant much mind, really.

The sale was nice...I'm largely broke until next semester...but a couple of bucks for a couple of book? Doable.

Then you hooking up the unemployed fella yesterday or today.

Now this?

s'why I don't feel so bad about shamelessly plugging your sale at a few other boards...that, and Thrilling Tales is pretty darned awesome.

Good show. I'll be paying you guys closer attention from now on. Way to foster the goodwill. I hope it turns into overall success for you.
