No, the servers are down. They are working on the problem, but this has me REALLY worried.. This has been happening a lot, and should NOT be happening this close to the 23rd (release day).

Quoted from Blizzard's website:

"Will there be a monthly fee to play the game?
Yes. When you purchase World of Warcraft, you will get a one-month free trial subscription to the game. At the end of that month, you will have to choose from three subscription plans to continue playing the game: a month-to-month package at $14.99 per month, a three-month plan at $13.99 per month, or a six-month plan at $12.99 per month."

Oh bah, it's not that much money. I can't really remember what server I'm on. I'm just experiementing with classes now, as I'm pretty sure our Beta characters will be wiped before retail.

You guys should check out Guild Wars (www.guildwars.com). It's a lot like WOW but without the endless grind and NO MONTHLY FEE!

The server problems are happening because they had over half a million people sign up for beta in 2 days, and had to close it. The servers are actually doing exceptionally well, and I highly doubt half a million people will buy the game day one. So already they have over 40 servers working in beta, and are doing the best they can to tune them for such a high load. What this means for release is unexpected growth won't catch them off guard.

The improvements they made after the first stress test has me confident WoW will have one of the best MMORPG launches.

Also note that blizzard performs miracles when it comes to phasing from Beta to Gold and those of you who were with me in the Reign of Chaos and or Frozen Throne Beta's know what im talking about

from what i've heard, the recent lag is actually database debugging going on. If you notice, the lag mainly occurs when you loot an item not already in your bags, or one that has to create a new stack. it's the db interaction that is spiking to badly.

And from some of the conversations I've seen, this appears to be intentional as Blizz is collecting all the debug data they can to isolate the issue.

And they must be finding something with the way they've been taking entire regions of servers down today for updates

there is nothing to worry about, Blizz is purposefully stressing all of the servers. They're doing everything possible to make sure the game runs absolutely lag free from the 23rd on. the servers at retail will only have half the population of the OB servers and they're top-of-the-line equipment too. I've been laughing at the people who think WoW will be unplayable at release, they obviously have been paying any attention to what Blizzard has been doing or saying.
