Wow, it’s down again. <\/p>
You\u2019ve just got in from work or school and you\u2019re so<\/i> ready<\/i> to unwind with some World of Warcraft,<\/a> but the game won\u2019t let you in. What\u2019s gone wrong? Is WoW down?<\/p>\n Online games often suffer periods of planned server maintenance and downtime, meaning you can\u2019t log in to the game when maintenance is ongoing. Typically, planned downtime lasts no longer than a couple of hours, but at least the development team lets you know when it\u2019s happening and how long it should last.<\/p>\n More annoying are the times where there is no planned server maintenance and the game is down for no apparent reason. Whatever is happening, though, there are ways to find out what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n Read on to find out if WoW is down or not and to see when the next lot of scheduled downtime is set to take place. You\u2019ll also find details of how to check the MMORPG\u2019s server status down below.<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t log in to World of Warcraft it\u2019s because there is currently a spate of ongoing scheduled server downtime for maintenance. The current scheduled server downtime in WoW is Wednesday 5th July from 3am-4am<\/b>.<\/p>\n During this period of server maintenance, you won\u2019t be able to log in to the MMO or play it at all considering its always-online status.<\/p>\n The maintenance downtime was confirmed on the official Blizzard website<\/a>, on which the development team lets us know of any incoming planned server outages. Fingers crossed the downtime lasts no longer than an hour and you can get back into the game as soon as it hits 4:01am.<\/p> The best way to check up on the current World of Warcraft server status is to hop on over to the official Blizzard website\u2019s maintenance schedule page. You can find the link in the section of this article above.<\/p>\n Another way to keep track of planned server downtime in WoW is to follow the Blizzard CS EU Twitter page<\/a>. This should let you in on any incoming server maintenance and downtime attached.<\/p>\n These two methods will let you in on any upcoming server maintenance and will tell you the timings of planned downtime. If you\u2019re unable to log in to the game outside of these planned moments of the MMO being down, however, you may need to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n The game\u2019s page on Down Detector<\/a> is a solid resource that\u2019ll let you know of other users detailing their own problems with WoW\u2019s servers. If you head to Down Detector and see a large spike of reported outages, you\u2019d best believe the game is going through a period of downtime \u2014 scheduled or not.<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t log in and you\u2019re not seeing reports of anyone else with the same issues, however, the issue is most likely on your end. We recommend restarting your PC and\/or router if this is the case. If it\u2019s still not working, leave it a while and try again later. Head to Blizzard support<\/a> if you can\u2019t get in later, though, and raise a ticket.<\/p> Is WoW down? Scheduled downtime incoming<\/b><\/h2>\n
