Stuck at authenticating...

I'm stuck at authenticating in the log-in process, I tried flushing my DNS.
It's 11:03 central time here, if that means something.

By the way, I don't know the difference between central and PDT... so :(

There is some maintenance being done on the authentication server at the moment that may be causing some issues with login. The process is expected to run until 9:30 AM PDT.

Please try to log in again. The maintenance is complete so there should be no more hang-ups for those that experienced them.

I'll look into it.

For anyone still having issues please restart WoW and see if that resolves it. Otherwise things should be shaking out for everyone and there shouldn't be any more issues logging in.

It's very likely that with a lot of people trying to log in at once that the authentication was hit up relatively hard. That should be eased as people get in.
