Sorry guys, spaghetti code finally crossed too many times and the whole games bricked. The good news though is we are making WoW2.

There are bugs in the houses. They need to fumigate.

Ports into Housing zone

Falls into void.

Forced to fight Xal’atath for my freedom

Thanks for the heads up! Appreciate you being able to open servers up regardless.

Probably would need to use the stuck character service. In theory it would port you over to SW/Orgrimmar’s graveyard since the house/neighborhood instances would be disconnected.

Probably teleport to HS location or to faction city. Just like if you log out in Darkmoon Faire when not open.

I am not going to test that though. My chars in the houses are just going to have to sit there a bit longer.

Unfortunate.

Good luck on the debugging.

This is one of those days where Ghostcrawler was awesome on the forums when he started trolling the trolls.

So you are screwing players who logged out in their houses?

Great.

They didn’t delay bringing realms back up.

They just locked us out of our Houses and the Neighborhoods.

…

Have no idea how someone would “exploit” Housing, but if Blizz turned it off instead of just letting us suffer through errors, there’s a non-zero chance this is some sort of “oh the players discovered how to get something 1% faster, better cripple the game for a week while we Spackle in a fix” along the lines of Warband Banks.

Haha, housing completely disabled?

Guess we aren’t getting dark folk walls fixed. Or the rotational bug.

Or anything else.

Please though, keep putting more housing packs on the shop before fixing bugs. :roll_eyes:

Will they delete housing do you think??

No internal QA, no testing, nothing.

Just… “Ooops, look what we found when we tried to go live”.

I’m guessing it broke because they added the housing mini game and there’s complications

Well luckily you noticed it the very last second before servers came up

Definitely weren’t just doing the stuff right now after doing nothing all day
