I made the foolish mistake of being in WoW and then quitting WoW instead of choosing "logout" to switch to another character. Since then, around 14:30ish game time, I haven't been able to log back in to WoW. The connection to authenticate me just always times out. I tried removing the Cache and WTF folders, I restarted, I used the launcher (which I never use and which, incidentally, had trouble connecting to pull up News), and it's all no go.
I saw a few threads on the forums (the web site has been hideously slow) of other people having similar problems but it doesn't appear to be a mass problem. Alas, I can't even add a "me too" as I can't seem to login for the forums, although I was able to pull up my account management page.
I believe 
Schnurbart is also in the same boat.
I am indeed in the same boat as our Guild Mistress (sobs).
And we're not in for some smooth sailing. Tho if I'm lucky she'll start singing for me, yay!
Still not working. Sigh.
Mine started working again finally about an hour before the guild meeting. By that time, it was also a problem for Zam.
I can't get online now. I logged out to switch accounts, and that's it, I'm stuck offline now.
Weird. I think by the time I posted that,
Schnurbart had already managed to get back on. Actually, I saw you on later, too, so it must have resolved itself shortly thereafter.
I didn't manage to get online before shortly after 11pm CET. At around 1am I heard people complain about having trouble logging in again. After investigating the issue closer it seems like people got access at random - tho it was in some way tied to their IP address. By resetting the router etc if you didn't had a static IP some people managed to fix the problem.
