Loading screen/Launch Issues - please keep it to one thread. Thanks!

They tested the quests last Monday. The quests themselves worked fine when I did them there. I don’t remember a stress-test though.

Ever since today’s “maintenance” (Tues., 29 Nov. 2022), I have not been able to log back into my characters. I keep getting the error message “World Server is down”.

I am not actually trying to get to the new zones (at least, not yet), I just want to finish some preliminary work on my new Drakthyr Evoker. But I can not log into that character, nor any other character, here on Retail.

Considering the number of expansions you have released over the past 18 years, one would presume that you have accumulated sufficient experience with these situations, to be able to AVOID these types of problems.

(Sigh) . . . >__<

I’m unable to log into my Warlock character currently sitting in front of the tailoring vendor in Stormshield in Ashran. I’ve tried disabling all my addons and have renamed my interface and WTF folders.

The bar at the bottom of the loading screen fills up and I can hear chat dings and people coming online/going offline but the loading screen never disappears and I can’t control my character.

same, my main is chillin in stormwind unable to even log in . Have to play on an alt

I’m back to the pre-launch “Initializing” on the launcher, but it’s not doing anything.
