    @Smiffles @Warcraft ikr how can fortnite host a travis scott concert and then after everything goes back to norm with no lag but wow cant have severs up, cod does better then this and launch day is always hell for them

  • GoFogelGo Fogel (@GoFogelGo) reported

    @Warcraft Yeah, if only I could log in. Gosh, I just loooove paying for something a year before it's even released, only to have it not work on the day it was supposed to be delivered. Funny how your billing system never seems to have any issues. You can always get that money, no problem.

  • JannieCBoucher1 Jannie C Boucher (@JannieCBoucher1) reported

    @Warcraft too bad nobody can really play it right now with over half of our guild not being able to even log in. youve had MONTHS to fix this and prepare. it took u guys 20mins to screw up yet another launch..

  • bialcza Milo (@bialcza) reported

    @Warcraft What are you guys doing about the 'Character Not Found' bug? I've been trying to login in for 2 hours.

  • emilkill Emil Nielsen (@emilkill) reported

    @Warcraft Lmao, I don’t get why people can’t log on? I got in right away with no lag or anything

  • elpigeon6 elpigeon (@elpigeon6) reported

    @Warcraft @nickcarter People gonna be 60 before some can even log in. Stop tweeting and fix the servers.

  • HambaneGaming Samwise (@HambaneGaming) reported

    @Warcraft If only I could login to Illidan my night would be made

  • Dongathon_ Aaron. BLM (@Dongathon_) reported

    @Warcraft @TSM fix illidan please.

  • ScottSparr 0tt3r (@ScottSparr) reported

    Anybody else getting repeated “character not found” errors when trying to log into @Warcraft ? @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS

  • pulltheripcord1 pulltheripcord (@pulltheripcord1) reported

    @WatcherDev @WarcraftDevs Game is literally broken. Crucial quest NPCs required to interact with for progressing are unloading and refusing to reload under any circumstance. Should you really have released this? How tf do you have quest NPCs just randomly unload????

  • vamkittenBlaze Fluff🌙 (@vamkittenBlaze) reported

    @Warcraft I can’t believe people still think they can log into WoW on launch day and not have issues. Have y’all not learned from previous years or are you ridiculously optimistic?

  • ScottSparr 0tt3r (@ScottSparr) reported

    @Warcraft It’d be nice if I could login in. “Character not found”

  • Smokey_TV Smokey (@Smokey_TV) reported

    @MisterSlipp @Warcraft Now is a good time to get into it! (Minus release problems) they crunched numbers and stuff. Would feel like BC for you.

  • Rob75785175 Rob (@Rob75785175) reported

    @Warcraft wheres my 1 day refund for your connection issues

  • RussellRevell Proud TX Vet (@RussellRevell) reported

    @Warcraft Once again the launch is crap, 2 hours now I can't log on getting "Character Not Found" message. Fix your ****. So freakin lame. How many times are you going to launch new expansion and expect your customers to deal with poor IT practices?

  • Aggronaught1 PURE SALT (@Aggronaught1) reported

    @WarcraftDevs Fix the character not found issue, what a dogshit launch, for the 10th time.

  • BDGWithoutt JJ Fazekas (@BDGWithoutt) reported

    Imagine doing more than 1 stress test to fix these issues @WarcraftDevs

  • val_artemisa Valerie Lopera (@val_artemisa) reported

    Can u please fix your login issues????? .......@Warcraft #Shadowlands

  • nimondor Nimmy (@nimondor) reported

    It's been 2 hours and I still can't get on. Anyone else having this problem? #WorldOfWarcraft

  • NP209 Nathan Parsley (@NP209) reported

    @Warcraft After what, 15 years we are still having issues with launching expansions? Where does all the money we pay go? This is dumb

  • octesp956 O. (@octesp956) reported

    @Warcraft Not working for me currently :(

  • jrshane3 Justin (@jrshane3) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Warcraft fix your ******* servers!

  • ThatsSoVinny Vinny (@ThatsSoVinny) reported

    @Warcraft Will you please fix or at least provide an update as to why we cannot log into the game? Area-52 specifically.

  • BrianHu71459392 Brian Hudson (@BrianHu71459392) reported

    @Warcraft Can you guys please fix your missing character glitch. It affects the same people over and over again and for some reason even though thousands experience this you can't fix your ****. I booked off time for this **** expansion and here I am probably locked out. 👻

  • emilkill Emil Nielsen (@emilkill) reported

    @RAYMONDBRACKEN @Warcraft Lmao i got in right away, the servers didn’t even lag or anything

  • OmniaraKI Kyle Ivester (@OmniaraKI) reported

  • recursioncomic Rae Bruner (@recursioncomic) reported

    Me: "I'm gonna put off sketching page 55 to play the new warcraft expansion" *warcraft login is overloaded and broken* Me: ...Okay, I'm gonna sketch page 55 I guess. Page 55 is sketched.

  • emilkill Emil Nielsen (@emilkill) reported

    @XdFuta @FlyinBrianJr @Warcraft Nah, I wasn’t even on the game before the release and I got in right away with no lag or anything

  • KingCrazy98 Aaron Seals (@KingCrazy98) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am trying to scan and repair my Warcraft game files, but now it’s stuck in infinite loop: Can’t play without update, can’t update without scan, scan is on infinite loop and broken. How to stop this? Canceling scan and restarting machine doesn’t work.
