Sorry if this is the wrong place, I looked else where for an answer but couldn't find it.

Kilrogg server seems to be acting up really bad. NPC's are disappearing, everyone server wide is talking about it from Shatt - Stormwind. People are stuck in loot stances, running in place, tradeskilling etc.

Just wanted to alert Blizz.

Thanks

also wanted to add no one can log out of the game either lol.

The whole of Bloodlust is experiencing issues—hence the thread title, my lieblings. ;)

Our Technicians have already been alerted and are working on a resolution currently.

No ETA. :)

Should your realm "disappear" from your list, it simply means it's been taken offline. :)

Still no ETA, but our technicians are definitely progressing towards resolution.

Thanks for your patience, folks!

Current ETA updated: Approximately one hour of downtime is expected.

This time frame could increase or decrease as our Technicians work. I'll try to keep you as updated as I can in the meantime.

Q u o t e:
Kicked from Black Dragonflight for saying the word GM
wtf is going on with gm's!

We're confused that you rolled Human instead of Troll.

Please keep things on topic, Iliketorplol. ;)

We're testing realms internally at this time. Should the tests prove positive, we'll start to bring realms online shortly thereafter.

Q u o t e:
What does it mean when you realm simply vanishes from the selection list?

It mean it's been taken offline due to technical issues. Given present progress, hopefully Bloodlust will be active again within an hour. Stick around and let's find out together.

That said, I'm sure we'd all like to be able to predict such matters before they occur. ;)

Feralas. Sunset. Fifth tree to the left of 4th Gnoll-inhabited knoll in the East.

We're bringing a few realms online—no, I'm not saying which—to do a bit of further testing.

Same stipulation applies here, as well: Should this testing show signs of stability, we'll proceed bringing more and more realms within Bloodlust online.

Q u o t e:
Hey syn

What caused them to go offline and whats the Bloodlust deal with our realms called that btw?

A group of realms—of which all of you are a part—were not performing optimally (battlegrounds were stalling, players were moved to the login screen suddenly, etc), so we proactively brought all those affected offline in order to perform maintenance.

Also, "Bloodlust" is name of your battlegroup, Wolbanky. All of our realms are clumped together in clusters, known as "battlegroups" and each is given a unique name.

Here's the list: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds/battlegroups/

Q u o t e:
While I can log in and out fine on Caelestrazs, there are other that are still experiencing the same issues as reported earlier, what with not being able to log out.

Correct. As I mentioned previously, we only fully brought a few realms online for testing. We're still working on the issue. :)

#169 - Aug. 3, 2008, 11:56 p.m.

We've confirmed that Tichondrius, Caelestrasz, and Dreadmaul are populating normally.

Still waiting on remaining realms to stabilize and populate appropriately. :)

Congratulations, Bladewind. I'm sure you'll be able to pass on your knowledge to your children and your children's children.

Let's keep it clean herein, though. Much obliged. :)

Q u o t e:
What do you mean by "populating normally"? I keep getting a "world server is down" message when logging into Tichondrius.

Interesting. I was able to log in just fine.

Is this happening with all characters on the realm?

Q u o t e:
Whatever the problem was, its gone as of 1 minute ago. I can log in fine now.

Awesome. :)

We're still slowly bringing up the realms, just to let you all know. ;)

Q u o t e:
Can we get an eta for the rest? we takin 20 more mins or another hour?

The realms are slowly being brought up as we speak; I'm sure that you'll start seeing more and more appear on the list.

How is the word Brah a profanity O.o

Wasn't the "brah" part of it. Try the three letter acronym with an inappropriate meaning.

The issues with the latency are being looked at folks. Sorry for my delayed response. =)

#282 - Aug. 4, 2008, 3:28 a.m.

Everything appears to be stabilizing. If anyone experiences any further issues, please let me know.

#284 - Aug. 4, 2008, 3:38 a.m.

Blizzard Post

Still? Seems okay on our end. I'd give it another 10-15 minutes to see if it continues to stabilize. Let me know if anything changes. =)
