General Questions About PRO

Does Nintendo have any affiliation with this game?

No. This is not a Nintendo-developed, -endorsed, or -sanctioned game; this is a fan-made game developed and maintained by a syndicate of volunteers–by both the staff and community, to varying extents.

The corollary question may be "will Nintendo shut down this project?" To that, we must candidly answer that Nintendo reserves the right to do so at any time; that is an ever-looming risk of running a copyright-protected game without adducible consent, and it's a risk we have acknowledged when undertaking this project. While there is nothing we can do to categorically immunize the project from such a threat, but we assure you that there is no need for major consternation over the project's fate; our administrative staff has ensured various legal safeguards and extenuators to milden the legal risks, which is being well-taken-care-of behind the scenes and thus isn't something you as players will need to fret over.

Will our account data be wiped?

No. The last database-wide account wipe coincided with PRO's release into the beta stage on August 14, 2015; since then, the staff has vowed not to wipe accounts anymore.

The Game

Server Downtime

Why can't I log into the server?

There is a good chance that it isn't an isolated issue with you; the server could be in an inoperative state and thus globally unplayable for others while it awaits a reboot.
Check the status-checkers for each server on the navigational sidebar; they'll indicate the current server status. If the status is flagged as "maintenance," it's indicative that it is staff-accessibly locked while updates are being performed.
