*** Realm Issues - 10/18/08 ***

Hey there guys.

We're aware that there are still issues affecting many realms, and we're currently working hard to resolve them. Rather than having multiple threads scattered across the forum, I ask that you post in this thread with the name of your realm, the name of your battlegroup if you know it, and what issues you're experiencing specifically.

Please refrain from other comments here, as this is intended to be a thread where we provide updates and gather information. If you'd like to request compensation, such determinations would be made only after things stabilize, and the Suggestions forum is the correct locale for those requests.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. We are working feverishly to get things working smoothly again as soon as we possibly can.

You can check out our website here to find out which battlegroup your realm is on:

We are aware that players are not currently able to log into the following realms:

Ysera
Uther
Tortheldrin
The Venture Co
The Forgotten Coast
Suramar
Skullcrusher
Shadowsong
Runetotem
Ragnaros
Emerald Dream
Darkspear
Area 52
Azshara
Drakkari
Anub'arak
Blade's Edge
Anetheron

We are working to address this issue as quickly as possible. I'll do my best to keep you updated along the way.

Thank you all for your patience.

On a separate note, we are also aware that many Illidan players are unable to log in due to the World Server being down. We are looking into this and hope to have this resolved shortly.

It seems as if many of the realms previously mentioned are now accessible; however, it does appear that logins are a bit delayed due to the large number of players attempting to login at this time.

Please give it a few minutes and let me know if you are still unable to log into your realm.

I appreciate your patience, everyone.
