World Server Down and Loading Issues: November 29th

It seems some server issues have returned as US players have been reporting renewed trouble with loading screens and world server down errors. EU maintenance is currently also in effect, but apparently US servers are also having issues.

We just wanted to point it out in case some players were worried that it was just them: if you're playing on EU servers, maintenance started about 50 minutes ago at 3:00 AM CET and is scheduled to end at 4:00 AM, and if you're playing on US servers, you're not alone - many have reported problems in the past 30 minutes or so, after a pretty clean day of regular play. 2 comments Yesterday at 02:48 by Starym

Player Gets Teleported to Dragon Isles Without Owning Expansion

File this one in the extreme irony category, as while many players were stuck on loading screens, waiting on boats and unable to even log in due to world servers being down while trying to play Dragonflight, this particular player just got ported directly to the Dragon Isles without even owning the expansion nor trying to get there!
