Warlords of Draenor Launch Plagued with DDoS Attack What was supposed to be a high point last week for Blizzard Entertainment with the launch of the latest World of Warcraft expansion - Warlords of Draenor - was instead marred by a massive #ddos attack. Shortly after the #warlordsofdraenor launch on Thursday, November 13, many #worldofwarcraft players began noticing serious performance and stability issues. And as Geek noted on Friday, just a day after #launch : Blizzard has been dealing with unexpected stability issues overnight related to just how many players are trying to login and their concentration within zones. That has led to queues for players trying to gain access and understandably a lot of frustration. But the biggest cause of latency on North American servers has been a confirmed Distributed Denial of Service attack. Various #gaming outlets are reporting that #blizzard is working on resolving the issues. Have any of you #wow players noticed a distinct performance improvement since Friday? #news #ddosattacks #cybersecurity #videogames #blacklotus Black Lotus
