The bottom line is that they were not prepared for the number of players that showed up on day one, and are scrambling to improve their infrastructure and manage the load. >Over the last 48 hours, players around the world have had difficulty logging into the game, with errors such as “cinnamonbeard,” “greybeard” and “lavenderbeard” cropping up repeatedly on both PC and Xbox One. That prompted Rare to take the unusual step of temporarily blocking new players from joining in on the fun, a restriction that appears to have been lifted for now. Still, issues with connectivity are still common, as are delays in receiving in-game currency and other rewards.
