Q u o t e:
cant get in either whats the deal? no news bout it either, how about when they shut down on tuesdays they actually fix things that are wrong.



Sure thing, Bluebear, if you can figure out a way to make all computers and electronic devices to work perfectly at all times we'll be certain to implement it immediately.

Our technicians are looking into these reports but if some players can connect to a specific realm but some can't it is usually an issue with the route you are taking, not usually with Blizzard itself.

This is blizzards side...lol

Balguen server, same problem, lagged then was booted, then coulnt log into server, can get on any other char on any other server.

I shouldnt have to learn to trace ip routes to play a game, it should be fixed soon hopefully.

I happned earlier today for less time, now its back and i cant get on for the last hour, so i know they have a fix. prolly just lazy.,


Actually no, Mechamaster, the issue earlier today was completely different. I understand that you may not be knowledgeable when it comes to how the internet works but please don't use ignorance of an issue as an excuse to call us lazy or think the issue is related to another just because it has to do with you being unable to connect to a realm.

If the issue was with us specifically we would still be doing the same thing, trying to track it down and get it resolved.

I agree that you should be able to just log in and go but there are many routes that you can take to get from point A to point B, that is how the internet works, the route you are taking to that specific realm is having some issues.

I wonder if GM's get mad that people talk trash about them all the time


I don't take it personally, I understand that people get frustrated and it is easy to lash out at someone who they think has to sit back and take it. I would rather spend my time looking into an issue and try to get updates instead of disputing blatantly false statements.

Q u o t e:
Thanks Vrakthris.

I'm going to go back to playing using an IP that's working and periodically refreshing this thread. Let me know if there's any more information you'd like as I look to be in a unique position here.


I'm out for the night unfortunately but Belfaire is here to see you guys through this and will provide an update as soon as we're given one.

Hang in there folks, and as always, thank you for your patience.

Q u o t e:
Thats all any of us want is a little help =)


We can't provide you with an update if we don't have one yet. :)

Hey guys. Can I ask where you're logging in from, geographically? This'll help us out quite a bit.

Q u o t e:
I think this is ridiculous i think this should be one of their top priorties becuase we pay to play this game and last night i get kicked off and cant log back in wtf i go to bed early figureing it will be fixed by morning, wake up and still cant get in. Unless blizzard is gonna add some playing time back on to my account then they better fix this quick.


While this is still being examined Pharcide, at the moment, this appears to be occurring outside of our Network. We've certainly not forgotten about the players experiencing this issue and are still working on a resolution.

While some players are reporting some success resetting their internet connection, it's not working for anyone.

If you are tech savy enough to know how to attempt that, might be worth attempting, but it doesn't always seem to be working.

We are still working to address this issue, not forgotten about you.

Please continue to post your location, ISP you use - and if you know how to do a traceroute to the realm you cannot connect to, that would be helpful as well.

We do appreciate your patience.

Thanks!

Q u o t e:
One thing I forgot to mention it may not mean anything but I was in a 25 man raid when it happend and there was another person besides me that it happen to nobody else. The other person it happen to is my 2v2 parner on our 2v2 arena team.

This may not mean anything just trying to give all info I have.


Appreciate that.

This only seems to be happening to certain players, using certain ISPs - to specific realms.

I've been requested to ask for more traceroutes.

If anyone is able to supply that, I'd be very grateful.

Q u o t e:
I'm confused. If we are supposed to be logged into the realm were having problems with in order to do the trace then how can we do the trace if the very problem is the inability to log into that realm?


Alternately you can use the Ip addresses listed here:

For if it were not, then the world would be able to just log into any realm, and enjoy wow


The realms ARE open and many players are on them.

Just seems to be an issue for players with certain providers.

I truly appreciate the patience that each of you have shown. We have contacted the appropriate parties and are currently awaiting resolution. As soon as more information becomes available, I will let you know.

Misconceptions are flying all over the place, folks.

To be clear:

Even though the issue is not directly related to our realms internally, we are working with our contacts to address this issue as quickly as possible. Despite our desire to resolve this immediately, we can only do so much to expedite the issue.

Please remain as patient as possible.

Q u o t e:
Eredar is down as well it happened to me about 10:30 last night and is still down, any idea when they are going to fix this issue?


Eredar is currently accessible to many players, Rotinaj. Sadly, however, Internet routing issues appear to be limiting access for several players. We have contacted the parties responsible for the issue and hope a resolution is provided as soon as possible.

Q u o t e:
Is there an estimated time as to when this will be resolved?

Regrettably, there is not yet an ETA available.

Sit tight, my friends.
