Out for lunch.
It looks like someone at Blizzard EU have forgotten to put 50 pence into the meter (or 50 Euro’s if we have to use Monopoly money), the Battle.net log-in servers are currently either down or struggling. This message greets you when you start up World of Warcraft
We’re aware of an issue that is affecting our authentication servers, which may result in failed or slow login attempts. We’re currently investigating the cause and will provide updates as they’re available.
At the moment the “slow login attempts” are none existent, with just failed attempts being the norm. Hopefully this gets fixed soon so you can go about your normal business (I hear there are a few dailies in this game).
Update 15:55 GMT. – Looks like the hamster has been put back in it’s cage and the log in servers are working once again.
