It's the world server crashing here, all the time. Very very annoying,
there's rumours on our server that someone found an exploit that
reliably crashes it and they're doing it deliberately, don't know
about that but it's gone on for several days (not sure if it's still
happening as I'm now just avoiding Pandaria completely...)

You're lucky, there's numerous threads on EU tech support forum
complaining about it, might not affect the US at all, who knows :-) It
doesn't affect everyone, my experimenting reckons it's
account-related, as my bf doesn't get it, just me (same connection,
network etc), even tried logging him into the game on my PC, still
worked fine for him, while I was still locked out. That's incredibly
frustrating, watching him play while I can't!

It's all server related, so far as I can tell, so won't achieve
anything other than screwing up my settings. Since they all happen to
other people as well, and the "Character not found" one I even got my
bf to login on my install with no problems, I'm pretty confident it's
not at my end. Just bad luck I guess.
