Instance Servers DOWN (Not Stuck)

We're going on 6 hours of having no instances at all. I understand that you've been looking into the characters that have gotten stuck in instances or the loading screens, but is anyone working to get our servers back up? If so, is there an ETA on when something might be fixed? If it's not being looked into, please do. We're all bored sitting on drakes in Dal =(

Well, there are restarts coming :)

What exactly is happening - what message if any are you getting?

Ok, for those getting that particular message - do you have the little LFG eyeball icon on your minimap?

If so, do you have the option through it to return to the dungeon?

Transfer Aborted. Instance Not Found


Do you have the little LFG eyeball icon on your minimap?

If so, do you have the rejoin option from it?

It may take several times, but if you have that option please see if that will get you back in.

We've tried that. Still cannot enter an instance.


May I ask how many times you tried? It may take several.....at the moment.

It is working for some players.

Don't shoot the messenger guys, I'm simply trying to provide what small tips I can that may help and pass messages along on parts that still need addressed.

For those few above that think I should not have my job - you are more than welcome to send email to [email protected] - but don't troll here if you wish to retain your ability to post on these forums.

Thanks!

I think you're also missing a point, we can't get "Back In" because we were never in, the users have basically discovered that we cannot connect to the instance servers, we are just wondering if you can give us a time frame on when the problem will be fixed or not.


If you got queued even once but knocked back out - technically you did as far as the system knows.

If you have that icon and option, the system thinks you are in a group.

You further proved to me your inability to do your job by deleting my post questioning why your spending more time deleteling/editing posts than getting us more information on what the problem is and how soon it could be before its fixed.

I myself work in a customer service position and understand how frustrating it can be dealing with upset customers, however i work face to face with customers and your merely have to respond via a forums. I know that i should be doing whats in my power to make a customer feel like i am concerned with their situation. You however have displayed nothing but carelessness for our situation to the point where you arent even fully reading what our problem is.

Your superiors will be getting an email and possibly even a phone call from me.


Derailing a thread does not help in the least, Koris.

I can also give suspensions for trolling.

Please don't force me to do that. This thread is about being unable to enter instances, please confine your posts to that subject - thanks.

BTW, this is a mixed issue in here. We are very aware some realms and battlegroups are having different issues.

The suggestion I made earlier still holds for the majority. If it's not working that would be because the issue is a different one and our techs are aware and working on the situation.

Im getting a message saying that " cant log into world of warcraft at this time. try again later. does this have to do with the realm restarts? idk if something went wrong when i installed WoW tonite. its been 8 months since i played so can anyone tell me?


Have you merged to a Battle.net account Coop?

If not, you need to do that first. You cannot log straight into your old WoW pass/ID anymore, you use your new Battle.net info.

http://us.battle.net That should get you started if you need to create a Battle.net account.

Please, any other blues reading this thread, please please please just reset the instance servers for the Cyclone battlegroup! If it doesn't work, it's not like thousands of people will be inconvenienced due to the reset. It can only help the troubleshooting process. If it really is something more than just an instance server reset, please inform us?


They know about Cyclone, Soulfròst.

I am terribly sorry, there really isn't anything we can do from here to speed up that process, the techs are on it.
