    Usually this problem is caused by an instance of WoW running in the background. Restart your computer and it should fix itself, if not it is a problem with the WoW login servers, in which case there is nothing to do except wait.

    This happened to me once, I had to contact support and they took care of it within a few hours.

    I doubt you'll be waiting 2.5 days.
    Here is something to believe in!

    That's the average for all tickets. They prioritise issues where people are stuck or can't log in.

    That's the average response over the entire system. Tickets in certain categories with certain verbage have different priorities. One of the higher priorities is not being able to play. They'll get to your ticket in less than a day, usually within hours, if your character is unavailable.

    If you live outside of the US and one or two other countries, the option to chat won't show up for you.

    In this case you will just have to wait for the ticket answer.

    It can show up, but they have limited the subjects that needs live chat.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
