Why are the servers down and other questions

If you're having trouble logging in, experiencing difficulty in playing the game, or simply can't access of play World of Warcraft post Patch 3.0.2, head over to the F.A.Q., there are a lot of good answers to important questions. Even those not answered by our very own F.A.Q. assembled by Eliah. If you've got a question that isn't addressed here at WoW Insider or there, that's probably when you can head on over to the forums and bug Blizzard. Or... you can try and see if your realm's back on. A little patience goes a long way.

And to top it off, those of us who logged on early and learned our mounts/pets have suddenly found them missing. Top it off with laggy, broken servers and complete mod incomatability, and you have a fun patch day for everyone!

Totally expected, yet disappointment still embraces me....

That guide was pretty uninformative.

If you need something to do while waiting for your server to come online, try reviewing this FAQ for spelling and grammatical errors.
"I can barley play"

I like barley, don't you?
Cow Oct 14th 2008 10:03PM
I don't like barley enough to want to *play* with it..

I like how only my server (exodar) is up in that screen shot :p

At least Blizzard appropriately named the patch - Echoes of Doom.
That sound you hear is the server exploding as 5 million users attempt to log in at the same time.

I thought 12 hours was pushing it, but If they need more time I'm fine with that. Playing a broken, crashing and laggy game is no fun.

So... why are we still playing then? ;-)

I knew I shouldn't have bothered to come home early... sigh.

My 2 servers are Dalaran and Gnomeregan. They aren't even on the list as offline. >.< Poof! Gone :-)
webrunner Oct 14th 2008 7:12PM
Well one was taken over by troggs and the other one left for Northrend.

What is scary is that my server (Ghostlands) is not even on the list. Not even as offline.
Trem Oct 14th 2008 7:18PM
I hear ya. My server is also that way (Shu'Halo)
Ashley Oct 14th 2008 7:43PM
Mine, Quel'Dorei, is the same way.
