I haven't been able to log in for two days now

Thanks for all your hard work!

I’m hoping things get better. I had to stop raiding because I keep getting disconnected in the middle of fights and missing my chance to roll on loot, haha

Im able to login, but its absolutely unplayable, random ping spikes up to 5k ms. with or without vpn.

just solved all of my issues by setting my IPV4 DNS IP to cloudflare (tutorials on internet)... couldnt play normally for past few days and this changed everything. Might not be your reason why u cant play, but worth try it. Also its best manual DNS server anyway, so just use it even if it doesnt work for wow.

steps to Change DNS Settings
• Open the Start menu, type Control Panel, and press Enter.
• Click on Network and Internet, then go to Network and Sharing Center.
• Click Change adapter settings on the left menu.
• Right-click your active connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and select Properties.
• Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
• Select Use the following DNS server addresses.
• Enter Cloudflare's IPv4 address numbers:
• Preferred DNS server: 1.1.1.1
• Alternate DNS server: 1.0.0.1


Benefits of Cloudflare DNS
• Top-tier Speed: Cloudflare consistently ranks as one of the fastest DNS services globally, often outperforming default Internet Service Provider (ISP) routers and competitors like Google thanks to its massive anycast network.
• Strong Privacy Commitments: Cloudflare promises not to sell your personal data or use browsing logs for targeted advertising. They also wipe audit logs within 24 hours.
• Encryption Support: They fully support modern encrypted DNS protocols like DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT), stopping your ISP from snooping on the domains you visit.
• Security Options: You can use alternative configurations like 1.1.1.2 for malware blocking or 1.1.1.3 for family content filtering

Thank you for the update. Please don't pay attention to the people here giving you grief. Most of us know this isn't an easy thing to fix, but we really do appreciate the work you guys are putting in towards it.

I keep getting kicked from the server every 15–30 seconds. This has been happening for a while now. Is this normal?

Could you add my IP to the whitelist???????????????????????????? My request has been pending for two days now.

this is really embarassing by now

especially when u play a amazing game for free lol, its insane people hating on the server.

It's really sad this is taking so long to sort out. This server had a lot of momentum and that is just gone now. I'm ok at dealing with these issues, but I couldn't recommend this server to really any of my friends. They would rather just play Blizzard servers than deal with it.

I donated to this server and support what you're doing, but at this rate seems like the DDOSers won. Glad you are trying various remediation strategies but for 6 weeks this has been unplayable. Will check in after a few months and see how its going
