Support - IP Address Limit

The Google Geocoder (which Turf Wars uses to handle turf placements) has a daily per-IP address limit on requests. Each time you tap on the map while in turf creation mode, a request is made to Google. Players who share a household with other active Turf Wars players, use a shared connection (such as an office), or use any other apps or websites that use Google’s map services, may run into this issue more frequently.
To work around this, try switching WiFi networks, or if you are using a device that works with 3G, try using 3G (i.e. temporarily turning of WiFi in your device’s Settings app) when claiming turf.

If you can't switch, try waiting a few hours. If that's not long enough, then it should work the next day.

Yesterday a player pm'ed me & said that after he turned his iPhone off & back on, he could plant turf again.

I contacted support. They said it was to many people planting at one time. If you have wifi it shouldn't happen as much.

This has not worked for me on any attempt. Every night, about 30 or so mins into hopping, this "google geocoder limit" pops up. It's really becoming a nuisance. There has to be a solution. ?????

Worked for me the other day. I hadn't planted in over a day and yet was over limit. Turned my phone off and back on and worked like a charm.

Sorry to hear this. We've received a recent surge of reports about the geocoder limit being reached, and are looking into the cause and possible solution. We will post an announcement once a workable solution has been found. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience while we work on this issue.

It seems that early in the morning (before 9am est), it works fine on 3G. Perhaps it's the massive amount of traffic.

It worked after I turned on and off airplane mode for a few seconds.
