Ouch, Niantic, you really messed up this time….
Although personally I would have thought with all the events you have done for Ingress (anomalies, etc.) you would have figured out the best way to handle this.
Although, saying that, there are FAR more PGO fans than there are Ingress fans….
What could go wrong other than spotty Internet, huge lines, and a server meltdown?

“Niantic was not prepared.”
No they weren’t, not by a long shot.
The game itself was a nice start. Getting people out and about. When the update went out that locked out jailbroken/rooted devices, it meant I could no longer play (still can’t, although I can get the app to load and login, but never get a GPS signal, even though I’m happily able to play other AR games like Ingress. And I’m only L22 if I remember, so way behind most active players now)

Haven’t run for a while, so this 3.5k run was a bit heavy going, but being able to hit around 5min/km consistently is good for me

My run today. Combined it with a bit of Ingress playing but 8km in 43min moving time I’m actually happy with.
