That has been up for days.

That's actually pretty optimistic when the alternative is that Blizzard is incompetent.

But I don't think blizz is incompetent. pretty smart doods when you think about wow and all the other things they've accomplished in the long time they've been pioneering some of the most popular games of all time.
they definitely know what they're doing.

I get the same error when trying to do match-making.
Trying to create a custom games results in "No Servers Available" message. =\

re placement matches again?
|
Battlenet is back up, and still lagging and people are dealing with disconnects. This is ridiculous. Blizzard, please just take the servers down, and take several hours to fix the damn problem instead of having it inconsistently and be down several times a day. Just take them down, work on them as long as you need to, and fix the freaking problem already!
|
So how different is the amount of relative staff on sat/sunday from what they work with on weekdays?
