Yes was on a flight path on my alt and everything froze up, exited, relaunched and now says world server down
Oh well I guess I’m done for the night then.
In this thread, the BFA expansion experiences too many people playing for the first time in two years.
It’s just N’Zoth guys, Bringing your sanity down. Don’t worry. 
SERVER SHUTDOWN.
/panic
/forums
I keep getting world server is down.
What evidence do you have that this is the result of malicious attack?
What’s more likely, a DDOS attack or lots of people returning to BFA?
I wouldn’t doubt if by the time this gets resolved, my dinner will be done, i’ll finish eating and then lose motivation to play again for rest of night … GG
Getting stuck on the loading screen about 3/4ths of the way, then after 4-5 minutes it says World server is down.
Tried to log on my Monk, loaded up, but disconnected as soon as I accepted a quest.
Area 52 server
Server shutdown? Now what am I suppose to do on the internet?
yea lack of communication from this indie company is top tier
Yeah, I can’t use portals or hearthstones. It just gets stuck on the loading screen then fails after several minutes. Time for a break, I guess.
Horrible lag throughout the day spiking now with everyone being crashed, or a vast majority.
I said might/looking like it
[SERVER] Shutdown in 8:00… Good times! \o/

Shutdown in 7 minutes on Area 52
Yeah I was leveling on Thrall, went to a quest hub and there were no NPCs. Did a reloadui and get shunted halfway across the map. Shut the game down and can’t get back on. Probably call it a night.
I think its all of em Proudmoore to hehe but I got DC’d and then it told me there was already a character with my name lol then I logged back in the place before the last place I was at so it was odd they having issues
Got booted out of Thrall Realm during the first Halls of Origination scenario. Error for my DK (the one that was doing it) is a “A character with that name already exists.” All other toons get a “World Server is down” message.
Good to know this is not just something on my end.
CS twitter just posted a message about rolling restarts. Hopefully the issues will be sorted soon.
