Battlenet

[Jindrax]

Dudes is the entire battlenet down? I can't login to Starcraft2.
I've seen people complaining about diablo3 servers being down.
Is world of warcraft also down?

Not to sound like a jerk, but you would probably have more luck in the blizzard forums.

From what I've heard Diablo 3 servers are down most of the time so I'm confident that is the case now as well.

I would have thought there would be a notice if battlenet was getting turned off for a bit?

I'm pretty sure they're being DDOS'd. By who, I do not know.
Because you're correct: When Blizzard schedules maintenance, they usually let you know unless it's an emergency.

Sorry, I had a sudden urge to post a smug Penny Arcade comic. Don't know what came over me. It just felt... relevant.

Surely that would be all over the net, if it were the case.

You'd be surprised how often it happens and nobody claims responsibility.
Or how often companies will claim it was a glitch in their system when it was really just a botnet bashing its collective head against their bandwidth.
