We are aware of several realms that are unavailable or having issues at the moment.

Looking into this now. Feel free to post below if you like, but our techs are aware and looking into the matter.

Thank you very much for your patience.

It appears to be primarily the Bloodlust Battlegroup.

We have a service status post on it now.

Q u o t e:
Hello all - we are aware of the current realm issues occurring on several realms in the Bloodlust Battlegroup. We apologize for the frustration this is causing and appreciate your understanding while we look into the situation. We will provide updates as we are able. Thank you again for your patience.


As to ETAs, none yet given I'm afraid.

Will this thread be updated or should I check the other status post?


Most likely both, but if I hear anything, I'll be sure to pass it along here as well.

Actually, let me retract that, it's going to be up for you VERY shortly.

We can see them ever so briefly before you can.

See my statement above, Wan, those should be next.

I jumped the gun just a smidge :)

You should see all those very soon.

Awaiting word back folks, we know there are several realms that you may not be able to get to the character selection screen yet.

Just list them here, that's fine. We are looking into this.

Indeed, this may take a few minutes.

The rolling restarts are still continuing, but those should be finishing very shortly.

Our techs are on this, we do appreciate your patience.
#299 - March 3, 2009, 2:26 p.m.

Yup, still bringing realms online. Not forgotten about ya'll, it may be just a bit longer.

Q u o t e:

So the realms that appear online and won't get past log in screen, still need to be restarted?


Most likely, yes. That's usually the case if that issue occurs.

Q u o t e:
Indeed. Thrall is supposedly up, but NOT accepting players. Is it too much to ask for Blizzard to get their sh!t together and properly notify what the hell is going on? I must say that Blizzard's performance has been terrible on a wide variety of fronts.

1) Please fix your info to properly state what the hell you are doing instead of a vague "some servers may have longer restarts(or maintenance I assume) than others.

2) Fix your customer service skills. I know there's 11 million of us playing the game, but to treat us like the way you have been is wrong. And it will likely result in people finding some other way to waste their money.

I've been with you guys for THREE years now, and your performance is getting progressively worse. Care to respond to that?

Just my 2c.

Oh, and posting a bogus link to some realm status forum in YOUR OWN GAME is fail.


What bogus link, and I've been updating folks here all night long on progress.

Was there something I could actually help you with today, Tharwyn?

Deathwing was up then it went down. It's back up and the same thing is happening.


Checking back into Deathwing - thanks!

Q u o t e:



The forum link that you had in your information window was outright wrong. Tried it, forum doesn't exist.
It just seems that your (not you personally, your company) has been hosing everything you touch of late.

This is not the first time that this has been a problem, but I see no attempt at fixing it.

Am I aggrivated? Yes. I have the unfortunate situation where I can only play in the mornings, and all of your shinanigans are hosing that up.

All that I'm asking is that you provide meaningful information in regards to what you plan to do to the game. "Some realms will require longer attention" is a catchall to CYA. Post what realms are screwed and need more care instead of a blanket statement.


I'm still not seeing a broken link, I'm sorry. Did I quote someone else?

A link earlier in this thread was about Bloodlust, that was an issue in the wee hours this morning - and this thread just continued.

Most of these are coming back now, looks like one or two are needing a bit more nudging and should return shortly.

Q u o t e:
Well I mean when you're told one thing and another happens, don't you get kind of upset about it? I mean if I weren't putting $15/month into this game, I wouldn't care.

On that note, Deathwing is back down. Let's hope it works this time. :D


We relay estimates, and what we expect to happen, Cowl.

Sometimes when working with technology, the best laid plans don't always pan out exactly as expected.

Our techs are working with this until all realms are available again.

Q u o t e:
frost wolf character screen isnt loading has the server crashed?


As this is no longer March 3rd, nor does it have to do with all realms, I believe this thread is no longer necessary.

Frostwolf, had a minor hiccup and has since recovered. If further issues arise please create a new thread if there is not currently one on the first page.
