World of Warcraft Server Problems
vjmurphy writes "Connectivity to the massively-multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft servers and web site appears to have had some difficulties over the past week. Their hosting is provided by AT&T." That includes my raid's dying twice in MC due to 4000 latency, and also a soft reset of MC. Good work, AT&T.
They have been several times in the past. Usually, when service is particularly bad (or noexistent) for a period of time, Blizzard will hand out a free day or two of service to subscribers (extending their subscription period for 24 hours or whatever). Multiply 50 cents a day by a million subscribers (stateside) and that's a pretty significant payment on Blizzard's part. Not exactly as good as just spending the money to FIX THE SERVERS, in my opinion, but it's a nice gesture.
