I saw another such report a couple of days ago but with that link I was able to test it myself and seem to experience the same thing. I also generated a link of my own and it is getting the same error.
I’ve let our teams know so they can see what might be happening. I likely won’t hear anything until tomorrow but I’ll provide an update as soon as I do.
Having the same issue. Created a link, logged in and could not create an account using my created link. I’m getting the “Whoops! Something’s wrong with your link.” error. I have directly copied it and triple checked the link and its correct. I have tried the link with multiple browsers, all the same issue. I can create a starter account without said link.
Not working. Tried it with 2 different people. They tried new browser, incognito etc etc… nada - 2 work friends want to join me but I don’t want to lose the bonus… so guess they wait until it is fixed
I generated a recruit a friend link to invite some friends to play wow with me. When they click the link they get a message that says: ‘[My name] wants to play with you’ However when they login to their existing account (which has not played wow in over 24 months), they get an error message that says: Whoops! Something’s wrong with your link.
I have re-generated the link for them to test and they still get the same issue and it’s happening with multiple people. I have verified that my friends have not played wow in the past 24 months, they are not my recruiter (in the past).
I noticed a similar issue in CS issue: 1806245. It looks like blizzard had to fix on their side:
It is a known bug right now, and there are a couple of threads already about this. No one here can really help you at all, as this is a player help player section. Not a line to the devs
What should be my next step? this is my first time really posting to the forums. Is there a thread I should follow for resolution? Should I be posting my question somewhere else?
There is currently no resolution, other than waiting for them to fix the problem. Hopefully they actually get it together and get a fix rolled out fast
That’s fine. How can I tell when the resolution is available though? Surely if development work is being done to resolve it, then there is a thread somewhere one could follow to know when a fix is rolled out?
The Bug Report forum generally won’t as it is a repository for bug reports that our QA team collects from. They rarely will post or otherwise acknowledge an issue there.
I’m going to merge this thread with the others so things are a bit more consolidated.
Thank you Vrakthris. Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand the process. I appreciate the info and help getting my issue categorized appropriately.
Hopefully we can find a resolution before the 7 days expires (One of my friends I was trying to recruit has already started playing)
