if they had AT LEAST the decency to emit a “servers will be restarted in x minutes, please log off before” warning we could avoid this.

Can i ask why you even relase such bugged game with so meny issues. Is there possibilty to refund ?
Yesterday i had roll back from 20 lvl to 6 I lost 3 h
Today you took my char as hostage and you release it afrer few h?
I started playing today and joined my brother in an online game he created through the lobby. Shortly after joining him my game crashed and my character is now locked. I am unable to join or create any online games even with a new character. When I tried to delete the character I was in the game with, it says it is locked. This is a complete failure on that should have been addressed before the game went live.
I am just another player who tries to answer questions. I have done this a long time but I don’t work at Blizz. I have no idea why they releases what they release or why launches tend to go this way.

This actually isn’t a server issue and moreso a database one. Chars stuck in them during restarts thus needing to be flushed out. They are flushing them out safely to ensure no data loss and it unfortunately just takes a little bit to get through the queue.
We will provide an update once we are through the queue of them.
That sucks. Game’s broken. They’re working on it.
Seems like you’re gonna have to suck it up.
I got droped hours ago… my friends have all moved on and continued playing while im stuck just refreshing… “Hours” is a terrible timeframe…

nope, watched some, still playing. never had any trouble
worst launch of 21? f blizz.
super frustrating… still sitting here no fix 
can we stay in lobby and spamming join game or the unstuck script need us to be offline?
one blizzard intern manually unlocking accounts? yet people are getting locked out all the time so it will never be complete? vn1
Been locked out for 6 hours so far today to this error, and 8 hours yesterday for the “30 min fix” lol what a joke of a launch. Been playing blizzard games for 15 years and honestly not even surprised its just sad now, this happens with EVERY single major blizzard release.

This seriously begs some questions:
Why would they restart servers with clients still attached?
Why didn’t they give a “realm going down in 5 minutes, save and exit now” message.
And why wouldn’t they have coded a method that would clean databases before a server restart (as they are entirely on the server side)?
These are rookie mistakes.

so its gonna be an everyday thing? that was an issue yesterday too.
wouldve been nice if the problem was spotted in an open beta 
But wait… These problems happened in Beta. And they were happening before the reset. I don’t understand how the reset caused the problems that persisted since before the restart.
If only the beta was longer and was actually there to test the game instead of simple advertisement.
count on it lasting at least 2 weeks like PD2 (mod) launch did, their work around was playing on the non-peak hours servers till the population died down a little
Before the 45 minute maintenance that fixed my SC character yesterday I was sitting in a HC game as the servers went down. They did show a 5 and 10 minute warning in the chat box, but it just said the realm was restarting, not that you should manually exit the game before it goes down. That character was in a game as the servers went down and lost a couple levels or something (I didn’t actually care since it wasn’t a character I plan to play).
edit: I think it’s also possible some people wouldn’t have seen it since they have not managed to fix people randomly being booted from the game chat channel.
The fact that you have to manually exit to save progress during an official server restart is kind of disturbing and offers an easy opportunity to dupe items if they don’t have some other system in place to prevent dupes ( IE: trade items to friend before a restart, they leave to save having received the items, you stay in the game until you get rolled back).

the server down message is easy to miss because its only on screen for a little bit before it hides into ALL chat, while peoples default chat channel is GAME
