server is down my friend. they are doing maintenance and upgrading the hardware, in order to be compliant for 2.0 and TBC. they do it procedurally, starting with our server. today is second day. should be finished sometime between this evening and the next 48 hours. they announced a 48-96 hour window for the upgrade.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo ... well, it it means there will be more players in the realm, that's cool. It kinda blows being so few online. On the EU servers cities would actually feel crowded.
Guys, this is China. 48 to 96 actually means 48 + 96.
