I believe Minecraft.net is down.

Patience, young padawan.

Just wait.

yup minecraft.net is down so go to single player for a little bit

Half of Amazon has crashed. Reddits gone down as well.

DDos's? Nah, probably not. Highly unlikely.

Tobias Möllstam is on it!

Huge hardware issues at one of their nodes (AKA fire apparently)

Amazon servers are down. Just wait.

Major service outage

Good, now I can work on my CSP stuff.

Fire in the amazon server room caused this? I would like to know which employee is getting burned with it

No, their servers just went down. It's a technical issue. There was no fire in the Amazon server room.

Thats pretty good because if their server room caught fire, I don't think we would be playing multiplayer for a while.
(Unless of course mollstam found the fix he is working on )

I don't see what he can do about it, it's not a Mojang issue.

Mollstam is making his own servers for Minecraft.

looks like either the IP got reassigned or there is some DNS issues... minecraft.net is bringing up a hotel website now
