Someone made a redstone computer in Minecraft to emulate Factorio, so they could make a train computer in Factorio to emulate Terraria, so they could make a hoik computer in Terraria to run the servers.

Blizzard resurrected ENIAC and has been growing it ever since.

Windows '95

Maybe it’s written in Malbolge

Realms are probably running on Virtual Machines set up as cluster servers. Someone probably accidentally deleted the virtual hard disk files (hamsters) for all the servers.

“Blizzard uses 20,000 systems and 1.3 petabytes of storage to power its gaming operations. WoW’s infrastructure includes 13,250 server blades, 75,000 CPU cores, and 112.5 terabytes of blade RAM. The Blizzard network is managed by a staff of 3 people.”

they’re using hamsters for sure…i’ve heard it from multiple reliable sources

They just got a phone call. The servers should be back up soon.
