WoW Server Crashes

Post by Winnow »

Players have figured out a way to crash the World of Warcraft servers and it is spreading like wildfire. Nearly every server has been rendered useless thus far and Blizzard has yet to release a response.
Very simple way to knock the ENTIRE SERVER offline for 2-3 min
1. Be lvl 70 with an arena team
2. Invite somebody to the arena Team
3. LOG OUT
4. Make them accept the arena team invite AFTER you have logged out
5. GOOD ****ING GAME
Have fun!

The reponses are funniest. Like people who have nothing better to do than read Digg threads about a game they don't even play calling other people nerds that need to get outside.

There are a lot of crappy comments on Digg threads but every once in awhile there are some gems that crack me up.

All realms will being undergoing rolling restarts to resolve an issue that resulted in realms going down. These restarts will begin at 5am. Each realm's downtime is expected to be minimal.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter.

this is up there with the most hilarious blizz fuckups ever


1st place is still a tie between the Hakkar disease and the slash command that sent you back to your flagpole in WSG

Let's not forget the Baron Geddon bomb on a pet unleashed in the AH.

It's not like other games haven't had similar things happen.

The Hakkar disease doesn't even rate as a fuckup in my book. It was GLORIOUS and should never have been changed. Now the WSG slash command, yeah, that was pretty fucking bad.

Yeah, the wow aids epidemic was truly epic comedy, and seeing all those dead mules in the AH and bank was one of the highlights of my WoW experience.
