World of Warcraft players might be experiencing some troubles this weekend. It is being reported the MMORPG is suffering from some widespread outages.
And while this would be a problem for any company that runs a MMORPG, it’s on a massive scale for WoW. With more than 6 million players worldwide, a major outage here can seriously dent the weekend plans for a whole lot of gamers.
It seems the outages for WoW players are being caused by the virtual world’s service provider, but the company is also doing some emergency maintenance as well. Many of the game’s individual servers have been effected. This is not the first time WoW has experienced problems, but this appears to be the biggest issue the game’s faced so far.
We'd like to make all players aware that at this time our internet service provider is experiencing significant complications, and as a result the playability on a large portion of realms has been adversely affected," said a message from Epifanio, Senior Game Master, on the WoW forums.. "Symptoms include but are not limited to lag, random disconnections and slow authentication. Our network technicians are doing everything in their power to work with our ISP so that this issue may be resolved as swiftly as possible."
