Blizzard broke.

Website, game, forums, armory.


All down.

Weed out the weaker ones I guess!

Damn, I was in the middle of recruiting a 70 Warrior.

Thanks a lot, Blizzard. Really. We don't need any more warriors.

Haha, that'd be sweeeet. Darwin in ACTION.

Then after it's all over, and we've weeded out 4 million people that have been contaminating the gene pools with stupidity, Blizzard can come back and be all like, "Just kidding."

I'd stop playing WoW for a day or two for that. That's all it'd take for the Dregs of Society to kill themselves, right?

What... the hell just happened!?!? @ o Even the site's not working!

"They're all dead Dave, everybody's dead."

I was runnin' my little level 34 buddy through SM too. *sniffles* He was gonna get his key.

Also... did anyone else get a "Someone with that user name already exists" message when trying to log back in at first?

Izrail
01-19-2008, 11:35 PM
Heh, every time I hit "refresh" there are one or two more people signed onto the site. Think we'll break our record?

LorFedorovic
01-19-2008, 11:37 PM
Well everyone's flocking here to see if they could figure out what the hell happened. XD It's the first place I thought of after the WoW main site wouldn't load.

Izrail
01-19-2008, 11:38 PM
And everyone who didn't click "keep me logged in" just got kicked off. Nuts.

Skafloc
01-19-2008, 11:38 PM
And.. the servers all went into a rolling crash. Just as we were starting Netherspite. Seems it regional, as the folk from Texas are still online apparently, while the rest of us are out.

Damn Texans! Conspiracy I say! So the Cowboys lost, get over it.

Zunari

That's odd... the main site works for me. Course, it doesn't say anything useful...

The TNG will always be here for us, even if Blizzard perished. Non-rping WoW population, feel your lifeblood slowly drain away!

Are you in Texas, Zunari?

Zunari
01-19-2008, 11:41 PM
Nope, Toronto, Canada

Alekander
01-19-2008, 11:42 PM
Nope, Toronto, Canada

It's a Texan-Canadian conspiracy! Texas is seceding to join Canada!

Kelven
01-19-2008, 11:42 PM
Booted in the middle of an Arc run. That's the fourth Arc run in the last 24 hours I've had dissolve for some reason or another. I finally had a reliable group, so clearly the last option WoW had left to stop me was to make the WHOLE WORLD EXPLODE.

I apologize for any inconvenience the Arcatraz' vendetta against me may be causing you.

Aetheril
01-19-2008, 11:43 PM
Texas, joining Canada? I would expect nothing of the sort! Extremely unlikely!

And...that's what makes it a perfect conspiracy! Nice catch there!

And we thought those Texans were being ultra-patriotic, when really they were preparing to sell out to the Canadian WoW players.

Zunari
01-19-2008, 11:44 PM
No, it's Florida that we're conspiring with...aw crap, I've said too much!

No, if it were like Night of the Comet, there'd be little piles of dust where the players disconnected...and empty clothes and shoes lying around.

Now THAT would make one hell of an event.

At least you know you have the most robust routers. I got back to (CONNECTED) and hung up there.

Serves you right for lol'ing

Aetheril

True. Mr. T brought down all the servers so he could program in the Mohawk class. So if we all get a patch...consider it a gift, foo!

They say they are investigating the problem with their ISP.

LorFedorovic

You'd suddenly see "Number of people on forums is now 2" somewhere if we could get on.

Friend just told me 3 major US routers went down. It's like some major hack that happened, nationwide.

Just got home a short while ago, can't log on. They are located not too far from my house, I should drive over there and beat them with pieces of black licorice until they give me my virtual dollies back so they can live out their fake lives once more. Or, I could get off my ass and do some writing. *grumbles*

I wrote a new journal entry and for once didn't bash gay people too bad. Ah, the joys of character growth. Lelea will be running around Silvermoon naked and making out with women before you know it. Only then can she truly become Sin'Dorei.

Maybe we should do a poll of blood elves to see in which direction everyone actually swings.

Um, I think elven men are more qualified to play the feminine role. At least the way Blizzard designed them. However, woman on woman action will attract a fair deal more men than male on male. Hah. ;p Lucky you.

((Unlucky me!))

I started drawing this week. So far, I have learned that I have -no- drawing ability. I may scan some sketches in for people's entertainment later.

So, it ended up being nothing more than troubles with AT&T? AT&T owns our souls?

Anyways... I actually DID do something productive in the end. I've got me a nice new profile out of it because once I got on I was so thrown off of what to do I just kind of grabbed my mail and logged again! *shows it off like Vanna White* Will be posting said profile in the morning when I can properly check for typos.

Blizzard's been having problems with their ISP service lately... they went down for about 45 minutes not too long ago due to an "internal networking issue".

That and when I first started playing on TN, I suddenly got booted off and couldn't log back in to just that one server for something like 3 days. It turned out that there was some hub that was connecting the majority of Northern California and parts of Oregon that had to be reset, and like typical ISP companies, no one bothered to look into it and they spent 2 and a half of those days telling probably several thousand people "It's a problem on your end. Reset your router, and if that doesn't work, reset it again, and if that doesn't work, reset it again, ad infinite". On the third day, it got fixed finally, and a Blizzard GM acknowledged that it had been a non-player side issue.

Chikt

Wow. Blizzard screwed something up big time if nobody can get into instances.

And so then they do an unscheduled shutdown without telling anybody.

And then before that, the world server goes down and half the population drops of the face of the planet (My little TN population warning in Firefox went from FULL: Queued to Low in just half a second).

It feels like some sort of event of epic proportions in-game. Like you have 10 minutes to say goodbye to your families, get those last few quest items... and then you fall off the face of the planet and wonder where you went oh so wrong.
