Try from a different computer, or possibly using a different browser. It's still working fine, as far as I can tell.

for the record the following internet web browsers no longer let me log into gemp (during the load screen I time out and get the re-log in or refresh pop up every time] (at least on my iPHone)

1. safari
2. google chrome
3. skyfire


the only one i can currently log in with is a paid app called "Photon" which lets you log on via a remote flash server... the lag is terrible but at least it lets you log in.

Can a mod ask MarcinS ( if he is good now ) and/or change the title of this post?  =D>

Can other players having no trouble with those browser post that they are doing fine? so we can try to look into this problem? =D>

I have this same problem, I have logged in using the same computer with the same browser from a different location. To  that end I have a feeling he's blocked IP's going to the site as I've still been able to access the site from other locations (campus/wi-fi hotspots). If you had anything to do with the lovely merchant crisis that happened recently this may be why he felt the need to do it. (I'm not saying MarcinS did ban IP's just working off the theory of it works everywhere but my home internet connection no matter the device). All in all I've PMed MarcinS on the forum's and gotten no reply and have not seen him online the site himself in a while so i presume hes loaded up with his own issues (life outside of the lovely service of gemp that he provides in his spare time :) ) So hopefully a mod/ Marcin will see our posts eventually and be able to contact us about our questions :)

I'm experiencing the same problem with any machine linked to my home router.  :(

I've only been registered for a couple of weeks and whilst I had set up multiple accounts, this was with the intention of teaching my kids how to play, rather than trying to exploit the merchant.

I apologise if any of my actions have caused offense and would welcome the opportunity to rejoin the community.

Because I have a lousy connection and sometimes it is me, I usually check with some sites that will diagnose if the site is down:
e.g http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/gempukku.com.html

Thought someone might find that useful...

perhaps another reset and no merchant "buying/selling singles" option is in order....

I find that difficult to believe, now that the buy/sell price system is changed and you cant do the infinite gold thing, not to mention MarcinS said that after the reset the merchant will be fixed to not slow down the Gemp while used.

Are we sure the Gemp's host isnt DDoS-ed (like the lotrtcgwiki's host was not long ago and the card images didnt load) or just down for some other reason?

EDIT: Gemp is working now

actually the whole infinite gold thing is not fixed and i proved it to myself yesterday by doing some things with the merchant just to see if the problem was fixed. i went from 150 gold to over 2000 gold in about 20 minutes. i wont say how i did it because i dont want anyone else ruining it, but come on if I could do it, so could any other person. MarcinS said in my other post that removing the merchant was laughable, =D well buddy, so is his system. i sold everything back as to not raise suspicion, it was only an experiment.

Just FYI I spoke with MarcinS and it appears he introduced a bug with the last update. He will work on it over the weekend. In the meantime it looks like the site will remain down. Sorry :(
Title: Re: anyone has server problem RIGHT now?
Post by: Grond on April 12, 2013, 09:55:12 AM
The thing is that you can no longer generate gold from that, the way you could before. If you SELL the things back, you are not ahead of gold (the old exploit was indeed that - you buy insane amount of a single card, then you start selling, since the selling price was always going down by 10%(how its supposed to be), but the buying price, when the merchant is out of stock was going up by 100% after each copy, you could generate infinite amount of gold). That not the case anymore.
Title: Re: anyone has server problem RIGHT now?
Post by: Cthulhu on April 12, 2013, 10:25:12 AM
Yeah, you could no longer generate infinite gold (we're talking billions in 20 minutes) from a single account, you can now only make large amounts using multiple accounts, that could be fixed as well, if Grond's thicket idea (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,8468.0.html) or something like that is used.

btw doing anything of the abovementioned takes away all the fun of collecting, and the thrill from opening and winning boosters, so i really dont understand why some people bother to do it. I mean why would you want to play in tournaments and Leagues at all - to win some boosters, when you have all the cards and the gold? And if you want all the cards, you have them in Casual already. So really doesnt make any sense.

edit: site is  down again it seems.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I've finally found some time to work on this problem. I believe I have fixed it, and if it happens again, I'll have some more information that might help me to track the problem.

It should be stable now (I hope), and I'll be monitoring it for the next few hours.
