Lies? That’s really unfair. We all known there is an ongoing situation, and I’m sure Blizzard is actively dealing with it. It is likely that the world servers are technically up but functionally inaccessible because of the attack.
That literally makes 0 sense. If they are functionally inaccessible then they are down.
LOL jesus christ. You think you know what is wrong based on a couple of symptoms you are experiencing. “I think blizzard should update the realm status page to be what I think it is. They should do this instead of finding out what the actual problem is.”
I am having 0 connection issues. so the realms themselves are fine, by the way. Why don’t you take a break and check back for a blue post in an hour? Yeah it sucks that you lose a form of entertainment you paid for, but such is life. You ever get a flat tire???
But that’s not what you originally said. I agree it is inconvenient that we cannot play not but I can’t blame Blizzard for being victim of a DDOS attack.
What I can say is that 2 hours is a long time and this has happened many times before. My faith in their upper management has been shaken a bit in recent years. I am curious what actions have been taken and what kind of crew is there on a Saturday.
The monitors that check status are likely in an interior network zone and able to talk to their world servers. We are outside of the network; the DDOS has a greater impact on us. You need to learn about network architecture.

You obviously have no idea how DDOS works. This is 0% Blizz’s fault.

No, they are inaccessible.
Please go back to serving fries instead of pretending you have IT knowledge.
Lol fact of the matter is, realms have been down almost an hour now and realm status page is still showing green across the board. That is a lie plain and simple 
Except it isnt a fact. because I’ve had access to any and all realms all day.
Atiesh is available. Clearly, you are lying.
Most realms have been down well over 2 hours.
I am not sure why Blizzard hasn’t told us anything on the official forums yet. If you are going to criticize them for anything, that is the route to take… and ask why a multi billion dollar company with the best tech talent in the industry at its disposal constantly has issues with DDOS defenses.

Got in just long enough to see a server shutdown message in 1 minute. Cool
THE servers are up if you are in it already. But good luck trying to get into a server having these issue
No, it makes perfect sense, the servers are UP, the attack is preventing us from accessing them, this isn’t difficult to understand.

Good, that means Blizz is trying to do something about it.
to quote sigma:
“the universe has no obligation to make sense to you…”
“World server is down”
Fact is fact. Even Blizz admits their servers are down. Don’t have to be an IT specialist/rocket scientist to understand that. So much hate here. Simply pointing out the discrepancy between the realm status page and actual realm status.
Will check back in and play later on or whenever it is back up have a great day everyone!
I got excited because I played for an hour straight.
Now am here again.
Finally some sort of recognition from Blizzard. Albeit a bit snooty:
this thread was from September…you should get a snack or a nap. Mental health and self care are important. 
WoW is hosted on Amazon’s servers which are pretty much state of the art
