12/2 raid / connection issues

[draven]

greetings! not surprisingly, realms haven't been particularly stable so far today. it seems like they might be close to resolving issues, but no worries if you're unable to log in. we may have to push the raid back to 11pm server, but we'll see how things are at 10. if things still aren't stable at 11, we'll probably give it up for the evening.

instances are down and very little is working at the moment, so getting online is only the first step to being able to play

We have learned nothing in the last 10 years

meh, the game has evolved and gotten much more complex, and i'm sure it's not particularly easy to run the servers. there are also rumors of more ddos attacks that could be causing issues. that said, i'm not sure making garrisons instanced was a good idea, since that effectively locks characters into nothingness when instance servers are down.

rebooting the server in five minutes, so maybe that will fix things.

hopefully
