It’s a busy day for Battle.net!
Due to high volume of traffic, we’ve taken our World of Warcraft and Starcraft II Community sites offline to allow as many users as possible to claim keys, upgrade accounts and manage subscriptions.
As soon as website load is back to normal we’ll open these sites again.
Do not EVER lie to me like that again, Blizzard.
It's down for the weekly maintenence. It is NOT due to a high volume of traffic. That is a lie. A flagrant, outright lie. The maintenance happened on the hour, as it always does, and we've long gotten used to that. To suddenly slap up a website that says "well no, it's actually due to a sudden flood of visitors greater than during the launch of Cataclysm, since back then the forums work fine! It's not the weekly maintenance, it's just a coincidence that it wemt down at exactly the same time!" is an absolutely disgusting lie.
"LOL UMAD JELLY QQ LOL TL;DR UMAD LOL?"
Yes. Yes, I am very mad. Tweak the game any way you like, Blizzard. It's your game, your right. But do not, DO NOT, DO NOT ever *LIE* to me like that again.
Blues, feel free to say I'm mistaken. Tell me it was honestly due to high traffic.
Greens, say I'm mistaken, and it was all an amazing coincidence and the forums were linked somewhere and we got so many millions of views the bandwidth shut everything down.
SAY I'M WRONG. SAY "LIE" IS THE WRONG WORD.
Or agree with me that the webpage put up to cover the forums (which, by the way, had the web address http://us.battle.net/en/maintenance/) outright lied to me and to everyone who viewed it. The forums were NOT down due to " high volume of traffic". That statement was outright and blatant LIE.
I'm trying to be civil and respectful, but this is the first time in my entire history with Blizzard as a company when they have lied openly and blatantly to my face. It was disrespectful, patronising and quite simply disgusting behaviour.
Yes, "bro"; I am very, VERY mad.
