Makai Senki Disgaea RPG, the Disgaea mobile game (not to be confused with Makai Wars) has been delayed for an estimated 3 months due to major infrastructure and coding issues rendering the game unplayable.
Players have been having trouble with Disgaea RPG for weeks as noted by the official @Disgaea_App account. Since I made the Makai Wars guide and plenty in my Discord server were (trying to) play Disgaea RPG I thought I’d put up a quick news release on the situation in english.
Announcement of the 3 month delay on their official Twitter:

The PR account for Disgaea RPG initially blamed “overseas” players (to much twitter derision):
【緊急メンテナンス続報】
精緻なアクセスログ解析の結果、問題点の1つとして、海外からの過剰なアクセスが確認されました。
現在、アクセス軽減のための対策を行い、負荷テストを継続しています。引き続き、3月中のサービス再開を目標に、状況は随時ご報告させていただきます。

The situation was so bad no one could play no matter how hard they tried filtering people out, so the game is on a prolonged hiatus until internal issues are resolved. Hopefully it’ll work well once it re-launches. Until then, there’s Makai Wars, which worked since day one and features most major Disgaea characters at this point.
Note I probably won’t make a Disgaea App guide (maybe an editable spreadsheet) unlike Makai Wars as my interest in Gachapon games has fallen below zero despite my interest in this particular series.
