    @Warcraft Maybe you can speak to someone in Blizzard and help them get rid of this LAG. It's a shame, they haven't figured it out yet.

  • cloakzy cloakzy (@cloakzy) reported

    @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs hello i would like to not stare at a black screen for 6 hours with the error character not found ty

  • RBDezeh RB Dezeh (@RBDezeh) reported

    @Warcraft YOU’RE SERVERS ARE GARBAGE FIX YOUR GAME BEFORE YOU PROMOTE IT

  • KristaKouns Krista Kouns (@KristaKouns) reported

    @Cadhik1 @Warcraft It's a marketing problem. Companies owe it to their clientele to set reasonable expectations. Don't excitedly invite all your fans to sign in on "Launch Day!" if they can't actually sign in. People are justifiably upset. They were intentionally built up then let down.

  • taengxdess Cam (@taengxdess) reported

    @Warcraft is he going to fix area52?

    @Warcraft Fix your game ffs. Amateurs

  • LogicQ1 LogicQ (@LogicQ1) reported

    @Warcraft Why did I make the mistake of spending money on this piece of crap game. The game is broken,. I figured ill give it another chance and it's worst than Classic. It takes me 4hrs to log in, then once you start playing all of sudden you LAG like crazy then disconnected. BS

  • Arthur36254867 Arthur (@Arthur36254867) reported

    @Warcraft 17 year old game with log in issues. GARGO

  • acriminousJ acriminousJester (@acriminousJ) reported

    @jordanfisher @Warcraft Use your influencer magic to tell these doornails to fix their servers, whoever you are.

  • SamanthaLSmith9 Samantha L Smith (@SamanthaLSmith9) reported

    @Warcraft I spent an HOUR trying to sign in to Area52 only to be met by a black character screen and no toons listed. Then it loads my toons after another 10 minutes then i get stuck on a damn loading screen for 30 minutes b4 it lets me in...then i get 2 quests done, it dc's me. FIX AREA52

  • HongHuBrian HongHuBrian (@HongHuBrian) reported

  • JFellin24 Justin (@JFellin24) reported

    @Warcraft Who gives a **** about this. How about you just do your job and fix your servers. Maybe show the player base you actually care about us? Just a thought...

  • ayeitsmandee MANDEE🖤💛🖤💛📷 (@ayeitsmandee) reported

    Gave up on trying to level for the night. Can’t stay logged in for more than 30 minutes at a time and it just doesn’t make it fun. Fix your **** @Warcraft @BlizzardCS

  • Rocket61520615 Rocket (@Rocket61520615) reported

    @Warcraft it's great to see some streamer servers with 0 lag, no loggin problems.... Meanwhile some people waiting 4 hours to play 20 min with huge lag and dcs

  • dh0ffryn Xantosh (@dh0ffryn) reported

    @Warcraft and now! World Server is down! only 1 of 2 things happened! Blizzard wasn't prepared or some buttholes ddos'd!

  • Swardstal Swardstal (@Swardstal) reported

    @Warcraft Quest First on the Agenda is broken, Mothbane never spawns. Any fixes incoming? Aszune-Eu got maybe 100 plus just waiting for it to spawn

  • D_Teknomancer -D- (@D_Teknomancer) reported

    @Warcraft Your social media and marketing teams are completely tone deaf. I have been patient with server issues, happens every expac. But blasting a PR campaign when your roll out is tanking is making me pretty salty.

  • disabato_matt Matt (@disabato_matt) reported

    It's sad that @Blizzard_Ent @Warcraft don't see Area 52 being unusable as an issue. Would love to transfer my character at this point. I have been able to play at launch since WOTLK and you guys ruined that experience for me. Thanks

  • Buzterwow Buz (@Buzterwow) reported

    Really like watching people like @Asmongold play wow with no lag, no quest turn in lag, no loot lag, and yet the rest of the @Warcraft population is stuck in Bastion in the infinite log in loop. Of the millions you make @Blizzard_Ent you would think you would have better servers

  • LogicQ1 LogicQ (@LogicQ1) reported

    @Warcraft This game is the worst when it comes to opening week. It's a ******* SHAME. WOW gets an F for failing when it comes to supporting the game, and the number of ppl logging in. The LAG SUCKS.

  • JFellin24 Justin (@JFellin24) reported

    @Warcraft How about instead of sharing this stupid **** you fix your servers? Maybe show the player base you actually care about us? Just a though

  • CaseyNewton_TL C. Newton (@CaseyNewton_TL) reported

    @Goldenforce772 @CaptainVG313 @KZ_T19 All that trash heap World Of Warcraft does is cause more trouble than it's worth. People and their raid obsessions often break up families. #WorldOfWarcraft #Shadowlands #Warcraft People in sensible games like Star Trek Online have common sense to put real life first.

  • protonile Proto Swaggins (@protonile) reported

    Just got an error from #WorldOfWarcraft that the "Character Name Is Already Taken" when trying to login to my main... 10/10 Launch -_-
