Flying from Hero’s Rest to Old gate and got this error as soon as I got into revendreth. I fell through the world multiple times, then died. Now I cannot log back in to that character. I can however, log into another character in the same server. When I try to load now after a few restarts, it says World Server is down, but my other characters load fine. Definetly can not be a ISP issue when some characters load up and have no issues.

Same here… i did ALL THAT and more. Wrote a lot of tickets, follow every step and still have the same “instance not found” problem. Also when i try to log in i get this “World Server Down” error depending of the day.
Besides… it’s totally random…After every maintenance it’s get fixed for a while and then… Bum! Again.
It also happens randomly in different zones of the world. Like a week ago… everytime i entered Westfall with ANY player i got an instance not found error, sometimes happens in stormwind, outland… always a different place…then it’s get fixed automatically for a couple of days… and happens again.
Since three days before SL launch it’s been like torture to play.
Same error for me - flying from Oribos to Ardenweald then to Revendreth for first time. Fall through the world and then die during the ride, sometimes at a GY sometimes returned back to Oribos. Just started happening today after all the

SAME I JUST STARTED HAPPENING IM HELD HOSTAGE IN Theater of pain it wont let me zone out
Still been happening to me all last week so glad this Craptastic team Blizz has…Have no clue how to fix it or yet even addressed the problem F them just my 2 cents worth
Every Tuesday when servers come back it is always Transfer Aborted errors. And Blizz don’t care.

It’s not on your side. It’s Blizzard
Permanently stuck in Oribos.
So i took a flight to oribos and now im floating in “The In-Between” with a bunch of other people, please tell me again how this is my firewalls problem.
Hey all,
There are a lot of different causes for "transfer aborted: instance not found: errors, but I did want to call attention to one specific cause that has been reported a few times in this thread.
Our WoW team is working to resolve an issue that occurs primarily after realm restarts/maintenance which can cause this error to show up when travelling to a new zone (either through flying or portaling). The issue does not need any troubleshooting on the user end, as the problem will clear up on its own after a bit of time.
If you find yourself running into this error right after restarts or maintenance this is likely what is happening. The trigger for this error occurs when your game client can’t successfully connect to the server IP address for the world/instance server that you’re being transferred to, so usually it is just a connectivity issue. In this specific case though it is due to the problem mentioned above.
Hopefully the WoW team will be able to get this one cleared up soon, and thanks for the reports!

Well i can assure you that ive followed this thread word for word on what to do and how to resolve this issue and I myself am still consistently experiencing the instance not found issue. I get it when i leave any city or area via flight or hearthstone, i get it when trying to enter any dungeon or raid, pretty much anytime i go anywhere else than where i load into i end up at the in between and never leave until about the 6th try. This is absolutely ridiculous, There is no way all these folks along with myself all experience the exact same issue without this being a Blizzard issue 100%. This game is nearly unplayable 40% of the time, and for the amount people pay monthly plus xpacs, transfers etc etc this game should be smooth.

Game is unplayable. Played yesterday briefly and came back last night, and I cannot use a portal, change zones, hearth, etc. transfer aborted: instance not found
Guess I will wait a few days to see if anything is done before cancelling my sub.
I have experienced similar problems – currently, I am unable to get to Ironforge. I have tried teleporting and manually flying there. I keep getting pushed back and told “instance not found”. I also tried submitting a ticket, but that system kicks back an error. This game is now unplayable for me. I’ve tried everything and am at wit’s end.
Having the same issue. Loading screens not loading, leading to either disconnects or transfer aborted error message. Occasionally it will load after minutes of waiting. Game is unplayable. It has been running fine all expansion until this week. My latency starts at 40~ when I login and slowly increases to the hundreds until I eventually log off. Loading screens don’t load 8 out of 10 times.
I’ve done everything everyone has mentioned in the posts above and nothing has changed. I’ve played this game for over a decade and haven’t ran into an issue like this that has prevented me from playing for this long of a duration.
Was planning on buying a new router prior to reading this post, it seems that has nothing to do with it. Would love for this issue to be fixed sooner rather than later.
This has just started happening to me too. My latency is normal, nothing seems amiss… I fly somewhere in SL, its time to land and… falling through the world and Transfer Aborted: instance not found. Singularly unimpressed.
Exact same problem for the last two days now, been playing SL daily since expansion release and WoW since 2005, never had this problem before.
Just today this is now starting to happen to me. I cannot get into Bastian, but I was able to move around Revendreth and doing dungeons just fine. I start flying into Bastian, it says instance not found and kicks me out into a void, falling, eventually dying and now it won’t port me to a graveyard. I’ve tried going to Bastian some 5 times now with the same result.
Started to happen to me about 2-3 hours ago. I can’t get to oribos or stormwind right now. Keeps telling me instance not found. If I try long enough eventually I’ll get in. I just need to make sure that if I am flying in SL through Oribos I remove all my gear because I’ll die if I get “instance not found” /sigh.
I just flew(flightmaster) out from Oribos and got “transfer aborted” dropped me off and now I am falling and I keep falling… nothing is stopping me from falling. I see a dot far up in the sky… Oribos. This is pretty ridiculous I know I am falling because my companion pet is constantly warping on top of me. Hopefully I hit the bottom and die… unless I will keep falling for an eternity because it’s SL after all.
Edit: after 1-2 minutes I finally hit what appeared to be the bottom and died. Wonderful. My corpse appears to be in some sort of limbo. I see crazy things and I don’t think we players are suppose to see. I’m like inside of something and when I click “return to graveyard” it loads and then the instance error.
Looking at the world map I’m in between oribos and Mald. I am under the map looking up and it looks ridiculous.
this has been happening to TONS of people especially the last couple days. Tich (my server) is currently broken. Hundreds of people got dc’d two or three times while doing Twisted Corridors in Torghast. Personally, I was on floor 17 when I dc’d and was unable to log back in for 30 mins at least. Yesterday I was constantly dcing in dungeons and depleting keys. This is a big problem for people who are pushing content and even people who just enjoy playing the game non competitively. Please Blizz, this is not an issue on our end. It is a server side issue and it started ever since SL launch. Please fix this.
