Apparently if you want to authenticate your game tonight, you'll be out of luck. At least for the time being.Authentication? Logging in? Who needs that?
There has been some conflicting information out there. According to Bornakk, all the issues have been resolved. However, according to Billtesdes the authentication issues are being investigated.
Judging by the number of you sending in tips to WoW Insider, I'd say things are definitely broken at the moment.
We'll update this post when more information is available.
Update: This issue is apparently fixed.

I'm not using a battlenet account, and I can't get on either.

Guess I'll just have to wait til later to ride around on my pretty purple raptor.
I was so happy when I saw that color would be available as a mount. The Sunscale raptors of the barrens provided my fledgling hunter with one of her first pets, and I've loved that skin ever since.

I had the authentication problem just after the download process. It's working now, 3hs after. Don't know what happened.

I can't log in on my non-Battle.net account either.

No battle.net account here, and still can't get in on either of my accounts. BLEH!

Don't have a battle.net account and have not been able to get beyond the "Authenticating" screen for over an hour.
Just saying.
Texan May 19th 2009 7:31PM
It is actually affecting me, and I do not have a battle.net account.
DareD May 19th 2009 7:31PM
On the plus side, I am no longer sitting there until I time out. I now get the Unable to Connect message. Perhaps they're rebooting the auth servers?
Sysgoddess May 19th 2009 7:31PM
Yep, no authentication and no play here on Ravencrest (US). QQ

No luck authenticating into Durotan. Got kicked just as we were setting up a raid, and the door is shut.
