22/01 update:
Wintergrasp available again

We found a solution for instability issues that were occurring in Wintergrasp and we hot fixed all realms overnight. You should now be able to battle for Lake Wintergrasp again. We will continue to monitor Wintergrasp and realm stability closely.

Battle For Wintergrasp Temporarily Disabled

The battle for Wintergrasp had to be temporarily disabled on all realms, due to an issue affecting the realm stability that appeared after this week’s maintenance. Until the issue is resolved, Lake Wintergrasp will remain under the control of the faction that controlled it prior to being disabled.

We’re actively working to resolve this issue and we’ll provide an update as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your continued patience.

[Edit: Clarification that it was disabled due to newly introduced issues, not anything prior to the patch.]

Thank you for your continued patience.


While I applaud your willingness to take hard measures to stop serious problems, I wonder; what happens to VoA? Will Wintergrasp ownership rotate?
