I like how it's 6.5 hour after server maintenance for WoW was supposed to end and every server plus the website is still down.  Nice job Blizz.

Roger that ****.

yeah i am serioussly disappointed with blizz right now any word as to when things will be running again?

The unbelievable thing is that they chose to do this 2 days before the xpack came out.  "Hey, you know what would be fun to do two days before all hell breaks loose with the xpack?  Lets hack on the mail system during a completely unnecessary and ill-advised maintenance window!"  GREAT job Blizz, I am SO looking forward to the 13th.

yup that sounds about right, cant wait til the expan comes out myself

Servers were supposed to be back up by now, yet they're still down. Since Blizz can't get it together I guess I'll just play Combat Arms. I can only hope Thursday isn't anywhere near as bad as it's been lately with these technical screw-ups.

incompetience is rampant these days. Blizz seriously needs to get some new folks doing the maintenience, they seem to screw up every Tuesday.

Well lets see, it's 9:30 est here and Blizz STILL hasn't got things working yet.  Well heres a wasted day of gaming.  Thanks Blizz, compensations plz

Thier whole website seems down to me now.  Man, something must be really bad.

i totally agree with magouswarlockous we should get at least a day credit or something right?

yep i agree with everyone this ****...and to think i order wotlk....too bad i wont be able to play it for a month....maintenance is great i love it

Play it!?  Man theres gonna be soo much lag that your FPS will be near 2..funny just like being in Shatt.

It definitely seems pretty shady that they are handing out false statements left and right. My guess is that they took down the website and forums in order to avoid some of the QQ. Blizzard customer service at its best. Judging from past experience with the BC launch, I'm sure most of us will not have a good time during the 2-3 weeks following the release of WoTLK.

i think more than a day refund is in order. the amount of down time that blizz has caused on the servers added to the innumerable days that the servers have been virtually unplayable do to blizzlagg is in i think most of our (their PAYING customers) opinion utterly disgraceful. a free month of play i believe should instituted by the blizz company on their own. course if i or anyone reading this owned blizz why? we all keep paying and only complain on sites like this.... therefore starting tommorrow i will be sending gm notes everyday i play about this and refuse to purchase the expansion until it happens. i will continue to play and pay, but i will be opening a ticket and calmly state why i am and that i will everyday until someone thinks about the players. any feeling and willing to follow thru send foshiz a pst on chogall server anytimr you see me on, playin TBC just to prove a point.

This really sux the servers have been down for about 15 hours now....and either the wow forums crashed or blizz shut them down...WTF IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!

was talking to a mate and he reconds this a a huge publisity stunt....and no realms will be up till the launch......has a massive hype to get ppl going and talking about blizzard/wow more and more

stop crying just let blizz do their thing we got a few hours till wrath wooooooooooooooooooooooot!

its DK time!

This sucks, I was going to use all my Honor points and marks today before Exp hit...Now im gonna get 20k+ honor and at least 40 marks a peice Going down the drain because Blizzard hasnt got their *** together...Ive been waiting since noon to play, its now 9:20pm.. My day off too. GRRRR

thing is we will pay them our money and they will still go laughing to the bank .

pretty much, seems kinda odd to be down this long just for some mail......

Do not know if anyone has this or not. But I have it on my account. I find it funny how Blizz did a three day credit on my account starting on the 11th and ending on the 13th. Would like to know if anyone else can see this on there billing page or not. Also, if this three day credit is do to the downtime today, WHY DID THEY NOT POST A BLUE MESSAGE ON THE LOG IN SCREEN.

Yup, It's on mine too.

those sons of bitches

oh yeah i have been wondering about that for a few days now and i guess i know now and unfortunatly this doesnt help me in the slightest

This goes to show that Blizz had this downtime planed for some time and did not plan on telling us about this. This crap is getting old.

a few of the servers are up but they were instantly queued

lulz and now the news server is down. gg blizz

and the wow forums are still down

I highly doubt it is a publicity stunt. Angering your entire player base days before you hope they buy a new expansion doesn't make any sense at all. The thing that is really interesting here is the fact that they have taken down their forums.

F it, its 1214am est im done. was gonna do the midnight purchase, but not after this i think ill wait till my next day off and maybe get wotlk, or just go get gears2 and cancell wow. we shall c.....

ok f them again. its 816am 11/12 and still not up. thats it cancell blizz, long live gears2 and the all mighty xbox.......

lol, You are all so immature. You want a crdit for 2 days? Thats 1 dollar. Get over yourselves. They are a big corpartion with MILLIONS of subcribers and to say that they brought down their own website. Im pretty sure the website couldnt handle a couple million peolple logging on just to QQ. And for them to get a new maintenance crew, you're all pretty smart. The new guys will have no idea what to do in a RL situation and probably lead to more downtime. So do them and yourselves a favor and grow up. If you don't like it then quit your subcription and dont get Wrath. They still got that other 11 million people.

I think its not even the refund I dont care about that, its just the whole thing is insane.  less then 24 hours to release and the game as been down for 2 days?  I am sorry but that is unacceptable.  Yes this is a GAME but it is also a business and myself as a small business owner if I ran my business this way I would be broke so blizz really needs to get better updates or do something to fix these problems that are popping up, this should of been fix BEFORE WOTLK was being shipped out!

a days credit?!?! ive been waiting since tuesday morning to play.(wich today is just wednesday) and i have to work tonight, so that meens no playing today as well.....this **** really anoying....they should compinsate for at the very least 2 and who knows...the way things are going its gonna be another day or so probably.....by the time we get to play again itll be tuesday again and then yet more **** ups on behalf of Blizzard.....if we wasnt paying to play this damn game monthly it wouldnt be  bother but damn.....i work hard for my money....WTF!!!!!!!!

So you're saying that you'd rather go through all this garbage after the release? Im sure that they are trying to get as much straight as possible before they let everyone run rampant on the fist night of the release. And like i said, Awe they took your dollar! Do you think you can run a multi million player game any better than they are? Has any other company done something like this before? They are pretty much running a miracle. Atleast they actually care to keep the game running good.

Just remeber the scale of the change that Blizz is trying to make all in one day. Problems will happen and I'm sure that we will all be credited for the extended downtime. I am sure that they did not expect to be down for so long but I am also sure that they did anticipate issues so let's give them a little time to accomplish the major upgrade. Remember it's a lot to do to get a whole new part of the world up and going. The extra server load will be huge on it's own. Each and every new mob, NPC, etc... has to be accounted for and each needs a server somewhere to drive them.

I say a few days of downtime is good for everyone. It's not like there are a few servers up and only they get to play, they are all down.

I just had to point it out that after mindnight on release date that the servers were pretty stable and ran smoothly, eh?
