How to get past various login bugs

[Keyboard Champion]

The endless loading screen stuck at 90%
1. Log into the game with a character that is not currently located in Draenor, and then logout.
2. Log with your main character.
This should down the Blue Bar boss.

Stuck at Logging into Game Server
1. Press Cancel
2. Go back to the account and password screen
3. Re-enter your account info
It should now let you in. Or at least let you enter the queue if your server had any.

World server is down
No, it's not fucking down. It's a, surprise!, a bug.
1. Go into your World of Warcraft -> WTF folder and edit the file Config.wtf. Search for the line SET realmName and replace your realm's name with the name of any realm that you can login into (preferably a low pop one). Save the file and exit.
2. Go into the game and go back to the realm list. Here select the realm that you just wrote into the Config.wtf file. Log into that realm and create a level 1 character, login into it and exit immediately.
3. Now switch back to your main character's realm and it should let you login.

A character with that name already exists.
Sigh.
Log into anyother of your characters and then log into that one that gives you the error.


Nice paid beta we're having here, Blizzard.

This is about as good as the little guide BlizzardCS released on character not found.

The world server down fix helped me, thank you.

That "World Sever" fix is just stupid. The reason it "works" is because by the time you're done with all that nonsense, it's been fixed.

The "World Server" is based on a per realm, per continent basis, hence the loading screens between them. Pandaria for example and Draenor have their own World Servers, so one can go down, and you can still play on the other.

Every time the World Server goes down, wait 3 minutes and try again.

None of these are "fixes"...
