Blizzard need to sort their atitude out.

WOW is a great game. I love it. But the service provided by Blizzard in terms of their servers has been appalling. Over the past week i have hardly played the game despite actually making time for it. This is because the server either had too many issues(disconnects) or was not up.

Today is the last straw. I cancelled my subscription since they did not put up any notice of the server being down for the whole day and evening. No announcement of any kind that server is down or when it will be back up. Connection just hangs. Instead we get news that maintanence this week will be longer. Knowing Blizzard it means half the day. At the end of the day i have decided that i must play games according to my schedule. Not the schedule they try to force on me. Thats not what i pay for. Therefore little point in me sinking money into something i cant use due to whatever excuses Blizzard have to offer to prevent people playing during free times.

Does not sound like a game ontrack to earn a profit of well over $1 billion this year alone. I wonder how much of that needs to be spent to put things right?

I like it but i am upset. Its a strange feeling.

I enjoy WoW but it has been a pain in the backside lately. I lost a fair bit of AH stuff when the new 'open all' feature in the mailbox triggered an 'Internal Mailbox Database Error', and had several events where the game world has locked up so i had to relog - somehow ending up at the nearest flightpath rather than where I was when it b0rked : /

Seems like they've been restarting Draenor every day (twice today) since the last patch as the instances and battle grounds keep messing up.

Sounds like nothing compared to Burning Blade, its been offline the whole day and now its server downtime. I dont care why its happening. Fix it. I pay for this service to be working. If this happened with subscriptions outside the games industry they would be on watchdog and they would be in deep trouble.

I think you're just spitting your dummy out, to be honest. Blizzard support are actually excellent at replying to any real problems and fixing them as quickly as they can. For the record, I have had no problems logging in today.

Get real here. First you say there are problems then you say there arent any lol.

Exactly. Its a subscription. If there were standards in place Blizzard would no doubt fall foul of most of them. I remember the DC got on watchdog for similar issues on their free service lol and hardly anyone even used that.


People on my server now call it Broken Blade as its laggy 24/7. People frequently log in and out because they get lag problems. Its irritating when you are in a group and you know everyone will log in and out at least once because of server issues.
