Server game PUBG in China is down

Coronavirus outbreaks make people discourage their activities in the open. Not a few of them fill their daily lives by playing games to make Tencent's server broken.

The incident took place in China, where one of the cities in his country, Wuhan, was declared as the source of the spread of the coronavirus.

Shops and public places in the Bamboo Curtain country are closed, many people also stay at home and spend time playing games.

As a result, one of Tencent's games, Game for Peace PUBG Mobile version for the Chinese market, was overwhelmed by the surge in traffic received by his server during the Chinese New Year holiday yesterday.

Gamers also complained about not being able to log into Game for Peace.

"Almost everyone in China is online, which is an extraordinary situation," Founder of Chengdu Gaming Federation Charlie Moseley was quoted as saying on Abacusnews, Tuesday (1/28/2020).

#GameForPeaceCollapsed hashtag has become the most popular on Chinese social media, Weibo. Tencent immediately rushed to increase the capacity on his server.

To compensate for the losses suffered by its users, Tencent then gave prizes in-game items.

"His enthusiasm was extraordinary, so a small problem occurred," Tencent said when Game For Peace was down last weekend.
