Multiple Realm Issues - World Servers Down

Thank you all for bringing this to our attention. If you are unable to log into your realm due to the "World Server Down" error, please let me know the realm your character is located on as well as your location prior to being disconnected.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reports everyone; please keep them coming!

Our Technicians have been informed and are looking to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Q u o t e:
Sweet thx u think while they are in there they could Fix the MAJOR lag during Nax ;P

If you weren't already aware, we are looking to address this issue in an upcoming patch, Vuduclown. While I'd love to see that latency related issue addressed alongside this connectivity issue, I'm afraid it will require more time. Please review the following thread for more information:

Q u o t e:
With all due respect Aredek, locking other forum threads regarding Misha being down and redirecting here is frustrating to Mishans and a waste of time. The title of this thread specifies Bladefist. There's no way anyone would know to post information about Misha here.

Could we please either change the title a bit to reflect the purpose of this tread or stop locking Misha threads?

Thank you.

By the way, Eastern Kingdom (at least Ironforge) is still down.



Note: edited because I misspelled your name.

The title is currently "Realm Issues - 1/17", friend. Do you see the title differently?

If so, you have my heartfelt apologies. Rather than creating a new thread, we elected to rename a thread that was already created and had responses from a number of players from a variety of realms.

Q u o t e:


Why is no one responding over in the tech support forum?

I'm on Bladefist. I cannot log into any character. They are in various zones.

I'm afraid that Technical Support Forum is only manned by our representatives Monday through Friday 8 am - 8 pm PST. Please feel free to join us here for the latest updates, friend.

In an effort to resolve connectivity issues across multiple realms, we will be conducting emergency maintenance on the Emberstorm and Whirlwind Battlegroups shortly. We expect each realm in the affected Battlegroups to be down approximately 2 hours; however, the actual amount of time each realm is down may vary. Should downtime be extended, we will do our best to update you along the way.

Thank you all for remaining patient as we continue to address this issue as quickly as possible.

Due to the breaking news regarding Emergency Maintenance, we wanted to make it as easy as possible for our players to locate the latest information regarding this issue. In an effort to do so, we have created the following sticky:

Please continue all civil and appropriate discussion of this subject there.

It is apparent that this thread has already begun taking a turn for the worst; please leave your disagreements in this thread. Remember, it is perfectly acceptable to be dissatisfied and frustrated; however, we humbly request that you keep your posts appropriate and in-line with the Forum Code of Conduct. On a similar note, we request that our "more positive" players understand that realm issues are frustrating and your fellow players are welcome to express their discontent in an appropriate manner.

See you all in the aforementioned thread!
