Can't connect to server despite server ONLINE/not ddos

Post#1 » Wed Sep 09, 2026 4:35 am

Hi there,

For some reason I'm not able to log in to the WoW.

It seems to be the case since yday. It's not simply because of DDos, because there are people online, Server is ON, etc.

What is happening:
- launching game through launcher (everything is up to date andnews etc are loading up)
- Then goes to the login page in WoW
- I enter the login credentials
- the popup shows up, with information "Connecting" for 15-30s and then "Disconnected from server".

Other details:
- I have added OctoWoW folder to antivirus exclusions
- I have redownloaded WoW client
- I restarted my computer
- despite trying multiple refreshes, I still didn't get verification link via email. <- (not sure if it's important or not)

Any ideas?

I tried to even log in with wrong credentials, it's still the same.
It seems like it's not even reaching authentication at all.

I was able to logged in.
I had to use ProtonVPN... However, the ping jumped from standard 60ms to 250ms...

Any idea how to resolve it? Is there a way?

For the last 12 hours it's been log in play for a while, get DC'd.. fail logins for ages, play again and then passages of play between DC's. Sometimes 20 mins of failed logins. /sigh

It IS the DDoS, guys. Servers were not taken down but seem to be in an unreachable/unplayable state as is. We gotta wait for them to do the hardware upgrade and necessary adjustments with Flokinet to protect the server, so it will be a little longer until things stabilize, thanks for hanging in there patiently! We will perserve!
