    Question Is WoWhead down?

    It's been a while now since I could use wowhead. Whenever I go to that website it looks like it isn't managing to fully load any of the pages. I even tried using different explorers but nothing works. Is wowhead down is it just my PC? If it's the later, does anybody know how to fix that?

    Works fine for me.

    If you've done the usual "clear cache/temp files", reset your IP? No idea why they'd IP ban you, but being totally unable to access the site is odd.

    Yeah, I've cleared temp files but it's still not working. I don't think I've done anything to warrant an IP ban or anything, I hardly ever post there after all, most of the times I just go to check up on items or news. :\

    I believe it's a region stuff. I'm having the same problem:

    yeah fine here as well. Possible you have a routing issue from your location to wowheads location. it happens now n then, systems along the way send you a certain route(across the network/internet) but there being a issue along one of those stops causing a loss of packets and ultimately a loss of connection to the site.

    can run a tracert (trace route) in windows cmd see if its stopping some place before the site it self. if it is just gotta wait for the issue to be sorted or the route to be altered at some point. if its on the last stop(wowhead.com) then you might be screwed

    Good idea.

    Presuming you're on Windows, OP, open up Command and type tracert www.wowhead.com and see if there's a drop off somewhere.

    Hmm, I'm guessing you're right. On that link you posted you mention you and your friend are both Brazilians. Well, so am I.

    Que bosta... :P

    A revolution? That doesn't even begin to make any sense. I don't know whether to hand you a tinfoil hat or just a straitjacket.

But I'll tell you this: whether you call it server instability or whether you call it a revoluton — there's a message being sent. And that is, "Hey, you know that stuff we're doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it." I'm just sayin'.
    why exactly would blizz worry about hiding information from brazil only? lol
