4.1K Missing Niantic POIs in Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota!

Today 8/17/2021 is the unhappy anniversary the Twin Cities missing POIs

December 17, 2020, a calamity struck players of Niantic and Warner Brothers- Harry Potter Wizards Unite game.  A total of 4.1K (as in thousand) wayspots or points of interest disappeared from the in-game map.  The POIs that disappeared were inns, greenhouses, and fortresses.  

Minneapolis and St. Paul are known together as the Twin Cities and have a combined square mileage of 6364 and a population of 668,000 people.  Not a small area.  

All the missing POIs have a few things in common,  they all disappeared on December 17, 2020, they are all within the city limits of Minneapolis or St. Paul, and they all still exist in both Ingress and Pokemon Go.  

A large local HPWU discord group has a channel dedicated to this issue.

This has been a huge issue for us in the Twin Cities area.  It has been going on for 8 months

The traces or spawns are decreasing greatly as there are no players with Spell Energy (SE) to return them.  

All the flagged areas in the red zones are gone too. Yes, I know flags are off right now, but thes flags previously in the red zones are gone.

The game developers know about and have tried unsuccessfully to restore the in-game map points. 

Why and how is this an acceptable way for Niantic or Warner Brothers to run their business?

If this were in Pokemon Go, how long would the fix have taken?

Can you imagine if this was your gameplay area? 

If it can happen here, it could happen anywhere worldwide. Please help Twin City witches and wizards get media attention to find a resolution to this issue.

    Could the developer team who fixed this help fix the missing POIs in the Twin Cities?
