Me and my brother wants to play some games but are having problems connecting. Just a quick question: does the old battle.net still exist?

AFAIK eu is down, but some of the na servers are still online,

if you want a server to play on I recommand iccup
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

Europe as a server seems not to exist anymore, pinging the server says it's not available.

USEast/West/Asia exist, as far as I know you can find a few games on East, but mostly only on Asia.

You and your bro should play on ICCup, you register your account on www.iccup.com and get the launcher from there, then you can connect to the iccup gateway using the account you registered on their site.

Wait... But other games like WarCraft III EU server is still available... Don't all classic games share the same servers for their regions?

Maybe it got hacked like East -_-; Even if East is still up, it's been said that it's still unplayable because the same hacker has been fucking it up for months.

Even 5 years ago when UMS was still really active on East I remember EU being a ghost town. Blizz probly killed it since EU players preferred to play on East.

Excuse me but I'm able to connect and login to the Europe server, so it does exist. Being unable to ping any of the official Battle.net servers is part of their design.

Hey Xboi, I'm curious about this:

when I ping europe.battle.net

I receive a msg from 5.236.50.168 stating target host is not available( or similar, this is a translation)

then three messages saying exceeded time limit

packet loss 75%

When I ping useast.battle.net (199.108.55.54) or uswest.battle.net (12.129.236.17) or asia (121.254.164.26) I get four messages saying exceeded time limit with 100% packet loss, no message of target host not being available

Why is there a difference in EU server?

Likewise when I try to connect to Europe server via Starcraft it gets stuck on the connecting to fastest server message, until it errors out eventually. While the other three servers lead me to the account creation screen.

There is no difference, your DNS servers just suck. europe.battle.net should resolve to one of the following ip addresses:
5.42.181.11
5.42.181.12
5.42.181.13
5.42.181.14
5.42.181.15
5.42.181.16
5.42.181.17
5.42.181.18

Your DNS server decided that europe.battle.net somehow resolves to 199.108.55.54 which is incorrect. Google has some free DNS servers if you're interested.
