Minecraft not connecting

[Pew1998]

I have no idea why, but as soon as i tied to log into minecraft to come play, it says minecraft cant connect to minecraft.net. Can anybody help?

Same thing's happening to me...Maybe Notch is putting in 1.2.6 update?
(Not likely, I know. But still...)

[Pew1998]

Ok, good its not just me, I was worried lol. 

[Creepercicker]

same  i just wanna play!

[ViperZeroOne]

Yea, this isn't on our end guys.  Please be patient while Mojang tries to figure out where the power switch is.   

[Pew1998]

LOL!!! Thats good viper. Maybe they will find the big red switch.

[Duinis]

Oh. Shiz. DON'T TOUCH THE RED, MOJAAANG!!

[Pew1998]

Lol, the world will explode into a giant block XD

[ViperZeroOne]

Haha!  I'm gonna fire up Twitter and see if they have anything on their feeds.

[Pew1998]

Ok keep up tweeted. XD. Keep us updated. ^)^

[ViperZeroOne]

Well, according to Twitter;

- Jeb went out for a birthday dinner 13 hours ago.
- Mojang posted about XBL Minecraft 8 hours ago.
- Notch posted about RPG's about 10 hours ago.

Nothing about the current outage.  Trying their various blogs/sites to see if there is anything there.

[Pew1998]

Ok thanks for the update. 

[ViperZeroOne]

Ok, here's what I was able to find out;

- Nothing posted on Minecraft's Facebook page.
- Nothing posted on Mojang's website.
- Nothing posted on Minecraft's website.
- Nothing posted on the official Minecraft forum.
- Unofficial Minecraft forum has "Login Server Status - Offline".
- IRC channel is going crazy with chatter about the servers being down.

Well, there you have it.  Since it's the login servers that are down I'm going to ASSUME that anyone who's already in-game is fine.  Don't log out if you're in-game or you won't be able to get back on until the servers come back up!

Lol ok, lets hope notch hasnt gone mad XD. Jk, lets hope they get it fixed tho.

[Pew1998]
