Ever since the launch of World of Warcraft Classic, players the world over have poured their heart, soul, and time into the MMORPG. This saw
World's First claims for max level as well as defeating Ragnaros and
Onyxia, but many are finding they are currently unable to log in, which
is unfortunately due to an on-going DDoS attack on the game.To get more

For those unfamiliar, DDos stands for a Distributed Denial of Service, meaning that a cyber attack has intentionally made a machine or
network's resources — in this case, World of Warcraft Classic —
unavailable by disrupting connections with its intended users. This has
made it unplayable for a solid number of players and has been doing so
for a few hours.
The connection errors began around 11 AM EST and have continued since.
Blizzard is currently aware of this DDoS attack on WoW Classic, and is
doing its best to get the game back on track. It would seem that fans
quickly discovered the individual or group behind the attack. A Twitter
account known as UKDrillas claimed credit for the attack, announcing it
roughly 30 minutes before it began.
It later announced its intent to continue the attack, promising that there would be more outages for World of Warcraft Classic's servers.
However, since then, the account has been pulled, likely for violating
Twitter's ToS while initiating this attack on Blizzard. It's also worth
adding that the WoW developer hasn't confirmed that this account is
actually responsible for the attack, yet it's hard to imagine that it
isn't involved with the current situation.
Blizzard doesn't yet have a timeframe for when everything will be returned to working order, but several players having expressed how
upset they are over social media. And understandably so, as there is no
rhyme or reason to such an act. While waiting for the DDoS attacks to be
over, here are 5 WoW Classic memes that take players back to 2004 in
order to pass the time.
