2 hours and still zero word from Blizzard

[Cleganez-stormrage]

Several servers have been in complete limbo and Blizzard is doing nothing to address it. Disgraceful.

Well it’s Sunday ya know.

[Hambamwam-westfall]

The word is they’re working on it.

Deal with it. Go outside. Read a book. Watch a movie.

Stop crying about a video game.

Several servers have been in complete limbo and Blizzard is doing nothing to address it.

Technically, there is nothing they can do. This DDoS is attacking the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of 6 hosted realms (e.g. Herod, Thalnos etc). This attack isn’t even against Blizzard but a 3rd party provider. All Blizzard can do is communicate the issue to the ISP and attempt to mitigate the problem by-proxy.

[Fabermor-frostwolf]

You mean the notice in the footer of the BLIZZARD LAUNCHER and On their Twitter isn’t communication?

[Istanbully-herod]

I’m not sure why people make new threads without taking 5 seconds to glance at the forums/blue posts, but here ya go:

@Kaivax

Today, Saturday, September 7, the World of Warcraft service has been negatively impacted by an ongoing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. For several hours today, we’ve repeatedly seen WoW realms targeted and taken offline by the attacker(s).

It is our top priority to resolve any issues that prevent players from being able to smoothly play World of Warcraft. However, it is the nature of DDoS attacks that players may experience the game becoming unavailable. If you are disconnected or have issues logging in, please be patient and wait a few minutes before trying again.

We will continue to work to address the situation.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

It’s call freedom of speech and people can say whatever they want, when they want. A negative response is positive how?

[Cleganez-stormrage]

That post is from yesterday. Today is the 8th.

[Roxferatu-herod]

Blue post from yesterday … days mixed up?

[Balloon-aerie-peak]

On their CS twitter, they mention it again. I can’t link to that

Edit: its the same attacks from yesterday. Its all on their twitter today.

[Hambamwam-westfall]

I hope you know freedom of speech only applies to the government censoring you. Says nothing about a private company.

All of these post are basically spam from impatient children who can’t wait for the game to be fixed.

[Mcbeardsly-dalaran]

It’s the same stuff going on. Tell me who taught you guys to use the internet so I can scold them, the amount of outrage paired with ignorance around here makes me feel like I’m in a WalMart.

[Friskyfox-barthilas]

Isn’t that the whole purpose of a forum

[Fabermor-frostwolf]

And you know it’s literally in the launcher in RED at the bottom

Players are currently experiencing high latency and disconnections as a result of DDoS attacks towards certain internet service providers. We are currently monitoring this situation and will provide updates as they become available. Please follow @BlizzardCS on Twitter for further updates.

[Balloon-aerie-peak]

Yes! Thank you for posting the information on there

We all know your addiction to gaming is causing you to go insane not being able to play for right now. But don’t take it out on people that don’t deserve it.
