My server went down in the middle of a Horrific Vision… I don’t even know how to submit that into a ticket for refund lol

Cowstanza-cairne · January 17, 2020, 2:05am

Same on Dalaran.

Doompriest-whisperwind · January 17, 2020, 2:05am

Whisperwind here got dc’d and getting world server is down. So seems serves crashed.

Just happened to me on Moon Guard.

Yeah, this doesn’t feel like a DDoS attack. This feels like the servers have had enough.

Sniperorc-azgalor · January 17, 2020, 2:06am

This character (on Azgalor) is not able to return to Vale of Eternal Blossoms. DC’d, can’t log back in. I can select my character from a perfectly good character list, but the loading bar to get back into the Pools of Power gets 3/4 across before “World Server is Down.”

Aggronaut-malganis · January 17, 2020, 2:06am

Restart the servers FFS>

Bigtexcobb-altar-of-storms · January 17, 2020, 2:06am

I got same as above but now I also get “A Character with this name already exists”
-Altar of Storms

Ditto here, I was doing the Vulpera intro quest to go back to Ogrimmar to tell Orc guy peons went back to work. And as I hand in game freezes, DC’d. I relog and see blackened character screen with “error retrieving character list” this on Spinebreaker. I rebooted comp, got to see characters but this toon doesn’t show a place where it’s at, my other alts show Zuldazar or other. I try to get into Moogin but the game crashes.
I’ve tried going to other servers but load screen goes 75% and fails.

Holydasher-fizzcrank · January 17, 2020, 2:07am

Illidette-hyjal · January 17, 2020, 2:07am

Getting a lot of disconnects, only to be met with the “Error retrieving character list” stuff. Several tries and it seems to go through, until the next disconnect.

For Hyjal, this is.

Ðevølver-kirtonos · January 17, 2020, 2:07am

Area 52, also happening “a character with this name already exists” when it does load my character list.

Mithilon-azgalor · January 17, 2020, 2:06am

World server is down. Sometimes character doesn’t exist.

Nevermóre-illidan · January 17, 2020, 2:10am

Cant even log in on my Sargeras Alts now.

Vixsin-frostmourne · January 17, 2020, 2:11am

Same. Got DC’d, tried to relog in but got " Character With That Name Already Exists"

Jordann-stormrage · January 17, 2020, 2:12am

Server reset in 10

Shen-burning-legion · January 17, 2020, 2:15am

I also can’t fully log in…I get past the character select part, game starts to load, then stops at approx. 92%; music cuts out and the game freezes there.

Festerfury-area-52 · January 17, 2020, 2:15am

I was in the Silithis area and I had my tear from my expedition to turn in so I walked up to Magni to turn in on my way to the chamber and the game crashed twice. It seams to be originating there…

Sniperorc-azgalor · January 17, 2020, 2:16am

It’s in Pandaria too. (That’s the particular world server which is down in my case.)

Seems like wherever the action is, there’s where the world servers fell over.
