[Szeeshan]

ITS A KNOWN ISSUE NOW, STATED BY BLIZZ, WORKING ON IT
"Hey all,

We are currently looking into the connection issues for all realms. We'll try to provide updates as they become available."

So in US too huh. Same thing here in Europe. Pretty interesting, I always thought everything would be seperated to prevent stuff like this happening. Read on the WoW forums Hearthstone is having troubles too.

Szeeshan for president!

Started happening literally exactly as I sat down in my chair after 12 hours of work, evidently. I'm sorry, everyone. This is my fault. These are the two hours I have before bed, and good old Murphy and his darn law has to shit all over it.

Virgin brigade out renting botnets off people again to stall people's fun because their own feeble existence is about as exciting as rubbing yourself down with a rubber chicken.

Same as every previous expansion. People get dc'd, bombard Blizzard servers with login attempts, login servers crash.

Same happened to me brother, it's all our fault

Blizzard can't do shit.

But yes, it's a major DDoS attack.

Well... they COULD, but since hiring hitmen are frowned upon in today's society, their really aren't many legal options for them. You need to understand that to Law Enforcement/NSA/FBI etc (even Blizzard to an extent), this type of thing is viewed as nothing more then a childish inconvenience. Top of the line hackers don't waste their time with neckbeard level spamming (which is basically what DDoS attacks are)

Murphy had kebab again, the bastard.

[Luciferstwin]

They why don't they just DDOS all the time and shut Blizzard down? Why do they only do it sometimes if there is no retaliation or defense against it?

Because launching a DDoS requires lots of resources and money

Pretty much.

Right, then enlighten us, so we can give the information to Blizzard. As it stands, you cannot even type one sentence without fault, so I am holding my breath here. But I am willing to learn - so rock it out.

lol just use cloudflares on server side and in game as well. and on every realm too. guess why ddosers cant ddos youtube,fb,twitter?? because of beter protect. blizzard just dont want to protect their games. blizzard is too greedy

[Metallourlante]

Directly from Blizzard EU CS twitter:

Some #WoW players may be experiencing latency or disconnections. We are investigating this now.

I laughed at the word "some"

Fcku this, its time for Battlefield 1 Beta

Lol..no..it really doesn't... I could do it from my computer, with my rural internet connection... it is neither hard nor is it expensive. Which is why it is usually very successful, but only for short periods of time

[Luciferstwin]

When 80 %of the realms read "population low" in the last days?



Or you people could inform yourselves how DDoS attacks work?

Servers only state "Low" because they increased the cap on on servers.

I wouldnt even waste your time with HordeFanBoy. Hes a known troll who knows nothing... just go look at his recent posts lol

And have 600 ms latency, no thanks.

Look up the difference between DOS and DDOS.

Dude, I told a really awful joke last night before the servers just took a shit.

So it's your fault today, but I blame yesterday on myself.

Launch was still smooth. I probably had 3 hours out of all the hours since launch that were messy.
