Wasnt there a ddos attack right before this one? Like a few days ago? Again the issue is Blizzard only cares about this one because streamers.

If you cant see the difference then you are just arguing out of hate for a certain group.
But based on your previous posting history I am not surprised.

Regardless of this only happening due to insane negative publicity from streamers (yes its cringe) this is an absolute win for ANYONE playing HC. If you are complaining about this your actually brain dead.
HUGE W (admittedly for dubious reasons)

Soda got caught buying gold and never got banned for it. Streamer privilege does exist.

I’m sorry but all deaths caused by a server side problem should be rectified.
Is it shady they only respond when streamers post their farewell message and blizz is faced with classic viewership’s death? Yeah.
Is it still a W? Yes.

These DDoS attacks would not have happened if OnlyFangs had not been streaming. There for the circumstances are different. I for one am glad that all those caught in the crossfire may have a chance at continuing their journey.

If it takes streamer publicity for them to soften on the policy that’s fine. Often changing policy requires severe outlier events to shine a light on the issue. They should be more open to taking action when people die as a result of malicious activity. They should absolutely not take action if it’s just random stuff or people’s local internet goes out etc.

What exactly do you call going out of your way & paying out of pocket to wipe out literal weeks of progress someone else put into something?
That’s malicious harm.
The context of it being within a video game doesn’t change that.

It makes no difference at all. Either are the fault of Blizzard servers, but this only matters when streamers are involved. Bias isn’t cool.

These events can also cause millions of dollars of damage to Blizzard, as this was going to do through social media attention alone, much less the subs, lost game time, etc. Good on them to address it.
Soooooo, they’re going back to 3/12/2025 when the DDoS attacks first started, right? Because this character died in the first DDoS attack during RWF and was transferred to Dreamscythe and hasn’t been touched since.

And yet when there was HC self imposed rules, the people that ran it barely approved of appeals due to D/C.
The problem here is that earlier today the EU servers also got DDoS’d during a raid and a guild there lost 38/40 raiders. I haven’t seen clips but it’s still a point where an illegal activity was done. And yet think of the hundreds that aren’t streamers also getting the revive.
At the end of the day, there was no way this was going to appeal to one side. If Soda got the appeal, those enforcing the rules were going to complain. But if the appeal got declined, there were going to a drop in subscriptions as not all of them play retail or other versions of WoW. They gotta find ways to keep players invested or joining/rejoining. They won’t get back to their peak in Wrath/Early Cata but raising the sub numbers still matters as a company.
Alrighty, I need you to calm down and get off your foolish high horse. The targeted attack is a good thing because it drew attention to the ongoing DDoS attacks over the past two weeks or so. They’re restoring the characters for everyone affected during that time. While the attack targeted a specific group which is OnlyFangs, many players who just want to enjoy the game are getting caught in the crossfire, hell, I almost died myself but we got lucky and were able to lag our way to the inn and log out in Badlands.
I have a feeling that you’ll become best friends with another annoying troll named Konsequences, who has been consistently trolling in the forums. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knows the individuals involved or even participated in the DDoS attacks himself, or just has a deep hatred against streamers and normal players who lost their characters during the DDOS, because his number of posts has been steadily increasing.
