Closed Until I'm sure it's not just me...+ Show Spoiler +

I'll be streaming the ping status of all the battle.net servers on my ustream.

no music, no distractions, just pings...

When you don't see the spam of "Request timed out" then that means that battle.net should be working.

Ping is not a very reliable way to determine if bnet is working or not as battle.net does not respond to ping. Additionally you are not pinging the actual game servers but the web servers. The bnet status thread stickied at the top of the SC2 forum should be more accurate as it actually tries to login to each realm.

login not working for me as well as all of the people streaming on tl can't use multiplayer.

web servers seem to be working fine as I am able to log into http://us.battle.net/en/

Blizzard still lists "ping" and "tracert" as reliable DNS troubleshooting methods.

The services inside battle.net cannot be monitored without dissecting the battle.net protocol and having working keys for each realm. This includes multiplayer, single player, matchmaking, custom games, etc. The best test you can do is try to login, which the bot is able to do successfully to each realm. If you are having trouble logging in, then something else is causing your problem as battle.net login is definitely up.

I'll be doing some investigating... but I know people aren't able to play multiplayer.

What happened to the SEA status? It was being displayed the other day.

R1CH, if you could pm me an output of your tracert that would help me a lot.

I've been getting the "...temporary outage of the Battle.net service..." message whenever I try to log in.

Here's my Tracert.
