Friends,
As you have clearly already noticed, the servers are incredibly unstable at this time. There is clearly only one good explanation for what is happening, a massive DDOS attack (Distributed Denial of Service). Blizzard just launched their new WoW expansion today and I believe that may have something to do with it. Basically, A DDOS attack is an attempt to overload the servers/system with false requests to cause a server crash. Unfortunately it looks as though the hacker behind it is succeeding. As frustrating as it may be and as much as a lot of us would like to be able to blame BioWare or EA, there isn't a lot they can do against a DDOS attack, we basically have to sit it out.
