Additionally, the large number of people trying to get into their parties is causing technical issues on the site. Please be aware that we are currently working very hard to fix these issues and get everyone playing again. All Parties that were scheduled, but could not be enjoyed while we work on the issue will be refunded. Thank you for your patience while we resolve these issues.
