  • AshwindGamer Optimistic Ashwind, Player of Old Games Reborn (@AshwindGamer) reported

    I made it to 54 on my original Druid, even with the Character Not Found issue and taking 30 minutes to get my walking in. Fun story so far! Switching to my Druid on my friends' server for a bit, because why rush? #Warcraft #Shadowlands

  • LogicQ1 LogicQ (@LogicQ1) reported

    @Warcraft Why did I make the mistake of spending money on this piece of crap game. The game is broken,. I figured ill give it another chance and it's worst than Classic. It takes me 4hrs to log in, then once you start playing all of sudden you LAG like crazy then disconnected. BS

  • Mysfit_Kris Kris owen (@Mysfit_Kris) reported

    @ALLIE_LONG @Warcraft Are you liking the lag?

  • KristaKouns Krista Kouns (@KristaKouns) reported

    @Cadhik1 @Warcraft It's a marketing problem. Companies owe it to their clientele to set reasonable expectations. Don't excitedly invite all your fans to sign in on "Launch Day!" if they can't actually sign in. People are justifiably upset. They were intentionally built up then let down.

  • protonile Proto Swaggins (@protonile) reported

    Just got an error from #WorldOfWarcraft that the "Character Name Is Already Taken" when trying to login to my main... 10/10 Launch -_-

  • DinoDaMunchy Dino (@DinoDaMunchy) reported

    Bro @Warcraft get your **** together and fix Area 52... literally the only server thats not working.

  • CaseyNewton_TL C. Newton (@CaseyNewton_TL) reported

    @Goldenforce772 @CaptainVG313 @KZ_T19 All that trash heap World Of Warcraft does is cause more trouble than it's worth. People and their raid obsessions often break up families. #WorldOfWarcraft #Shadowlands #Warcraft People in sensible games like Star Trek Online have common sense to put real life first.

  • Buzterwow Buz (@Buzterwow) reported

    Really like watching people like @Asmongold play wow with no lag, no quest turn in lag, no loot lag, and yet the rest of the @Warcraft population is stuck in Bastion in the infinite log in loop. Of the millions you make @Blizzard_Ent you would think you would have better servers

  • NelrockM3 Nelrock (@NelrockM3) reported

    @WatcherDev @Squishei @WarcraftDevs Or...by having a linear questing path that...you guys were warned would cause problems exactly like this? You guys should be experts at this by now. It's disappointing to see these decisions that will lead to obvious problems.

  • Adelius83 Adelius (@Adelius83) reported

    @Warcraft FIX THE SERVERS!!!!

  • ThethingsIsaid J Veal (@ThethingsIsaid) reported

    @Warcraft Got any tips on why my characters are not showing up on Illidan? Gotta love all these streamers not having issues, while I have to play other games until I get even a word about whats happening with our server.

  • WatcherDev Ion Hazzikostas (@WatcherDev) reported

    @Squishei @WarcraftDevs We're working on fix now. The issue is actually exacerbated by people all spamming AOEs and trying to get the tap. Allowing Mothbane a second to dismount will make it all work smoothly (easier said than done, I know). Anyway, a fix is being tested.

  • moonglowSiberia eluniya ⊬ ✨ (@moonglowSiberia) reported

    @lights @Warcraft I remember back in Naxx days I took my laptop and hid in my closet so my dad wouldn’t know I skipped bedtime to raid with my guild but my laptop would overheat and cause mad lag so I had to sit out a few boss fights lol.

  • acriminousJ acriminousJester (@acriminousJ) reported

    @jordanfisher @Warcraft Use your influencer magic to tell these doornails to fix their servers, whoever you are.

  • XtraliveTV XtraLive TV (@XtraliveTV) reported

    @Warcraft @Blizzard_Ent Fix your **** blizzard illidan server is crapping out right now

  • BarakehSalameh salameh barakeh (@BarakehSalameh) reported

    @WarcraftDevs I can’t login what hack fix it please

  • GeorgeEGarzon George (@GeorgeEGarzon) reported

    @Warcraft fix your game!! 6 hours and can’t even login! What is this????

  • JoseAntonio86 Antonio C. A. (@JoseAntonio86) reported

    @Warcraft The best advise that I can give you as a customer is fix the dam servers you are not an indie developer

  • YoTeeJay TJ (@YoTeeJay) reported

    are we close to a fix @Blizzard_Ent @Warcraft ?

  • enderdragongf athena (@enderdragongf) reported

    @Warcraft Lmao these comments don’t understand how hard it is to not have a server crash in an insanely popular game like this. Just be patient and wait !!!

  • ayeitsmandee MANDEE🖤💛🖤💛📷 (@ayeitsmandee) reported

    Gave up on trying to level for the night. Can’t stay logged in for more than 30 minutes at a time and it just doesn’t make it fun. Fix your **** @Warcraft @BlizzardCS

  • NetherlordKolme Kolme (@NetherlordKolme) reported

    I see there's a wee patch. Maybe it will fix this phasing issue Scroff and I are having. I was so excited to level with him again and we can't even see each other. #Shadowlands #Warcraft

  • tzipishadowglen Tzipi (@tzipishadowglen) reported

    Everyone in @CultofElune on Stormrage has been dealing with failed or stalled logins, severe lag, disconnects... some of us were lucky to play for a bit. It's launch day, and we expected problems but not extended unplayability. #shadowlands #wow #warcraft

  • taengxdess Cam (@taengxdess) reported

    @Warcraft is he going to fix area52?

  • amiyuy_ Ami Yuy (@amiyuy_) reported

    @CountGriffin @Warcraft Sorry for not responding to your tweet earlier, but I'm very glad you saw this! Please let me know if you have any issues!

  • AlirezaAzizmoh1 AlirezaAzizmohammadi (@AlirezaAzizmoh1) reported

    @Warcraft After 3 hours of “world server down” i gave up and went to sleep 4 hours later i wake up and its still the same **** And instead of an statement or apology you are sharing this crap?!

  • Rocket61520615 Rocket (@Rocket61520615) reported

    @Warcraft it's great to see some streamer servers with 0 lag, no loggin problems.... Meanwhile some people waiting 4 hours to play 20 min with huge lag and dcs

  • MacAttack1911 MacAttack (@MacAttack1911) reported

    @Warcraft what happened? You’ve had 16 years to have a launch go flawless and it hasn’t happen. How is it you still can’t get this right? You already have a world 1st level 60 but 75% of your player base can’t login...#failCraft

  • DavidSarandria David Sarandria (@DavidSarandria) reported

    @Warcraft @Blizzard_Ent Unless you're on Area 52 and it's been 5+ hours trying to login.

  • MEdwards_Gaming 🍂𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐄𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 🦃🍂 (@MEdwards_Gaming) reported

    @Moofzy @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs if thanikos isn't spawning try and phase it by dropping quest, then logging out and logging back in also had that issue when in a group
