All I wanted to do was play a little WoW Classic while I ate my lunch on a Saturday afternoon. But this was what I got.
Should I try again?
A group calling themselves UKDrillas on Twitter decided to go after WoW Classic today. They had started against against Wikipedia yesterday, but moved on to WoW Classic, seemingly to go after streamers on the US PvP servers.
Asmongold always seems to be on that list
As of my writing this I seem able to get into the game on Bloodsail Buccaneers, however I end up getting dropped fairly frequently, no doubt a side effect of the attack on the PvP servers. Overwatch, which shares the same data center, is also down.
There hasn’t been much word about this outside of the Classic WoW subreddit. No doubt Blizzard is working on the issue, while the WoW news sites seems a bit behind the curve. But for a bit we were able to see WoW Classic servers showing up with low population counts.
A rare site these days
Not that things were getting better as time went along.
Now the servers are gone!
As for the attackers, they are free to disrupt things for now. Groups like this have popped up before. I remember LulzSec hitting EVE Online and other sites back in the day. I also recall a bunch of them ending up arrested eventually. It happens. We’ll see how this plays out.
