Why are all the realms down with no explanation or announcement?

I genuinely do not care about how long you’ve been on the forums… honestly even flexing that you’ve been on the forums so long is weird and gatekeepy. stop it.

WoW got hammered by an infrastructure change with very unexpected results, we’re working to get everything back up asap.

The root of this one is an update to the teeny little service that bootstraps the VMs and delivers OS updates etc. Deployed fine in test, on Live, WoW did not approve and we locked up our file stores globally. We’re left with a lot of manual cleanup to get things moving again.

Thankfully WoW’s site reliability engineers are awesome and are churning through the work, we’re making sure there’s no other surprises waiting for us and then we’ll get you back in as quickly as we can.

China finally figured out how to piss off all the EU/NA players. Figured if they can’t play, we can’t either.

Thanks for bringing that here from Twitter. I was kicked off years ago.

I blame Goblins. They’re always tinkering with crap.

That’s called a repair. Maintenance is changing the fluids, rotating tires, etc.

This seems pretty serious, to be down this long, I belie.ve it be a hack or an exploit
