I feel like the power grid attack should be more concerning than this WoW attack so guessing thats the priority atm lol
I for one canât wait for the next T&E video to see Taliesin refer to the s%*tshow on the forums.
Itâs a DDOS attack. Blizz canât really do much to stop it. Just console yourself with the knowledge that the idiot behind it is bragging on Twitter and will undoubtedly be arrested and tossed in jail soon.

Looks like she has edited the original post. It made a little more sense because she was stating that she wasnât going to give more details in order to not give any credit to those who might be attacking via a DDOS.
Trust me, she wasnât being a jerk in the original post 
got kicked off when i logged back in there was only access to Mythic server US then i lost access to that.
Was on for a good 15 minutes but no more âŠ. how has such a big company not found a way to block or deflect such attacks
Assuming thatâs not just something that was setup as bait. It could very well be a completely innocent person for all we know.
There actually were a few times in vanilla where Blizzard gave everyone a few free days of play time because they had outages similar to this.

servers are back up aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I feel like the Blizzard engineers probably arenât going to be working on the power gridâŠ
well got 10 min in of killing before he went back after the us servers⊠he is gloating on downing them as fast as blizzard fixes them⊠i doubt this will be solved before the end of the weekend⊠All because poor little johnny had his bots banned
Well considering EVERYBODY knows who the person(s) who are doing it are⊠and constantly giving him/them the attention he/they want, no point in Blizzard doing so. We know whatâs going on, itâs a DDoS attack. Could be directly to Blizzard, however said person(s) have already said theyâre attacking the service provider, the backbone of the WoW servers.
So instead of them constantly prowling on the forums and answering the same questions over and over again and having to give out details, Iâd rather they keep it short and sweet, like they did and work on fixing the issue, like theyâre doing.

Yes folks, there are issues.
And no, Iâm not going to give more details.
Being worked on.
Thank you for your patience.
Whatâs really cool about your post, is that you know more than Blizz. I am not sure where you are getting your info, but according to the above quote, it seems like they are not giving any more details.
Blizzard is doing what they can. Now it is time for the community to step up and do their part. What do I mean by this?
Let me lay it out in simple terms that even a Orc Peon can understand it.
The group or person behind this attack is doing so because he is getting attention. The more we discuss it, the more we publicize his actions the longer he will continue this attack.
So how can we help blizzard as a community?
BY SHUTTING UP simple. Quit discussing the person. Act like its no big deal and move on. Go play Runescape, something else for the time being then come back.
