League of Legends server issues?

[mirror's edgy]

League of Legends is a fun little online multiplayer action RPG-RTS... thing currently available for free online, but the free to play niche comes with its own issues. The company runs servers for a very large client base, I just started playing the other day, and now I can't seem to get my foot in the door. I logged in for the first tutorial, had fun, but I've gotten a "server busy, try later" message ever since then. I've heard that the US has the largest player- server ratio, resulting in bandwidth being a precious resource, but this is a game I'd really like to get into. My weak laptop is most likely part of the problem, but does anyone more familiar with the game have a solution?

Well I play on the EU servers and have never had such an issue. But that message sometimes comes if the servers are offline for updates or something like that.
You might want to consult Riot Customer support if this problem persists.

They have very recently had some server issues, which they sometimes get for short periods of time but this one is a bit bigger of an issue, so it should be back up soon

I've heard that the EU servers are a lot less crowded, fortunately.

I certainly hope that this is just a temporary problem on the other end, and the news makes me feel a bit better.

I and my friend had this problem yesterday, but not today. When was the last time you tried?

Heh, you should have tried being on the EU servers a few months ago. Absolute chaos. It's probably a temporary problem and will be fixed soon(tm)

YOu're not the only one who's had this problem though.

also here's some [HEADING=1]shameful shameful self promotion of our League of Legends group.[/HEADING]

Man I'm not classy or subtle at all XD
