Really? Weird. Do you log in during peak times or anything? I honestly haven't seen this issue myself.

It happens about half the time, and it does not seem to depend on the time of day. Many players report the same problem.

I haven't noticed any issues.

Compared to WotLK, the Cataclysm release was excellent.

Strange, all "character not found" threads have been replaced with this image:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2046836437

500

Internal Server Error

"The server is prone to explode, so use with caution."

Something very strange is happening. Blizzard cover-up?

Generally when there is a problem with WoW that gets lots of comments, they have a common thread stickied or maintained where all comments get funneled to. Usually it's started by a CM. They just outright delete all the other ones to avoid hundreds of the same topic.

Patch 4.3 hit yesterday.

The new 5 mans are pretty fun and ilevel 378 loot pinata's. The new raid finder sound interesting and I will give it a shot once I get the proper Ilevel.

Boss drops and also 3 or 4 quest items for doing them that are epic 378.

Not the mention the old 378 vendor Valor items are available for Justice points now.

Raid finder requires an ilvl of 372.

Oh good... I thought this was just me. Good to know its a widespread issue... At least they will have to fix it at some point. Its basically made me stop playing. Their only advice is delete all my addon's, WTF folder etc... I literally have to try 7 or 8 times (completely closing wow in between) before I could get on... I don't care enough about wow to bother anymore. For me, once SWTOR is released I doubt I'll ever log into wow again.

To those still playing, have you seen a significant drop in players, more so than last year?

I play once or twice a week. For the past year it has just been a social thing for me, a chance to organize a time to log in together and play while chatting.

I'd like to run the dungeons but just ran into a few too many nasty folks in the dungeon finder to bother with that anymore.

I've played a little bit over the last week and I haven't noticed a discernible drop in players. In fact there may be more playing right now, with the new features like transmogrify and Looking for Raid.

My guy is still a work in progress, but overall I really like the transmogrify feature:

Interesting:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/scroll-o..._Soon-3_6_2012

The Scroll of Resurrection is currently on cooldown, but will be resurrected soon. Once it’s available, you will be able to earn a free faction mount when you use a Scroll of Resurrection to bring a friend or former guildmate back to World of Warcraft, but this offer will only be available for a limited time. Any active World of Warcraft non-trial player can send a Scroll of Resurrection. To be eligible to receive a Scroll of Resurrection, your friend must have previously purchased at least one month of game time at any point in the past, and your friend’s account must have been inactive since March 4, 2012 or earlier.

Once your friend accepts your scroll and pays for at least 30 days of game, you unlock your choice of the following rewards:

A Free Spectral Gryphon for an Alliance character
Or a Free Spectral Wind Rider for a Horde character

And, to enable you and your friend to play together in Cataclysm’s newest content, any friend who accepts your Scroll will also receive the following epic benefits:

A single character immediately boosted all the way to level 80 -- DING!
A FREE upgrade to Cataclysm -- regardless of your friend’s original box level
An optional FREE character move -- to your realm and faction so you can play together
7 FREE days of game time -- available immediately

A few other prerequisites apply -- such as a free upgrade to a Battle.net account for players who haven’t played since 2009 or earlier -- so be sure to check out the FAQ below for full eligibility details.

We’ll provide an update once the Scroll of Resurrection is ready to be cast on your friends. Keep an eye on the World of Warcraft official Community site for more information.

I'd accept a resurrection from somebody on a server with good PVE progression like Illidan, Frostmourne, etc. PM me

As desperate as it makes Blizzard seem, their promos lately have been ridiculously brilliant. Free upgrade to Cata? Costs them nothing, but they get the revenue from the monthly subscription with a chance of re-hooking those players in time for the next expansion.
