Login Server Busy?
 

Been watching the official forums and nothing about the login server being down or busy. Anyone else getting such a error?

As well on the beta forums i can't seem to select a toon to post as 0_o.

I am trying a repair of live then a reinstall as suggested on a few threads in the tech support beta forum...

I will let you know how I go - currently at 80% :)

Edit: Forgot to add that yes there was an error in my live install for a wav file :(

Your reinstalling the ahhhhh i think i got what your saying. the beta install pulls files from your live install eh.

I guess i will wait for you to try it out. Did you save the patch files from the beat though? they took a bit to download here.

Yeah the beta install uses your live install as a base.

Yup i saved the patch files before deleting the original beta install

They are currently patching up now. I will let you know if it works or not.

Didn't work :mad:

I am at a loss myself now...

Have you tried to log into the official beta forums?

As I said in the other thread I can't seem to select my "toon" from the top right side. If this is the same with you it is possible that the keys that were given to WOWI are not "activated" for use yet, or it could be that the account data from live hasn't propagated into the beta? Just a few thoughts. Would like to hear from some of the other authors that got keys if they are having the same issue.

Yeah i also can't select characters I just get the two tabs with my unique wowid and no toons under it.

(Unique wow id is the name of the folder created in the WTF/Account directory on the PTR)

So the tabs have 1234567#1 and 1234567#2 for example.

Is this what you are seeing in your connection.log?

That's exactly what I'm getting as well.

Hoping that http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...19535&sid=2000 will fix the problem with both logging into game, and with picking your character to post with on the beta forums. If not, will start bugging people at Blizzard directly, tomorrow.

Cairenn,


I also hope that this is the issue at hand. I will try to log into the beta tomorrow after the scheduled maintenance.

@ lowlee

I tried to manually ping the login server. It was not found. So either it is really down or we are somehow missing the proper login server ip due to a patch not coming down or some crazy mechanic .

I thought I saw something in the Beta forums that Blizzard was going to be working on the Beta login system (most likley adding the next wave of invites).

Here is the note I saw:

ya I'm getting the same problem.. Login server is busy. And I can't post on the beta forums because I don't have any characters available to choose from even though I have copied over several characters from my live account.

Very depressing actually...found out I got into the beta late afternoon(4pm 4:30 ish) get home from work around 8pm (long day.. had lots to do). Begin the download / install / patching of the beta... 4 hours later... can't login.

Meh, I'm finally done patching, took forever and now its busy /cry

I'll try the fixes and repost.

Don't bother trying any of the fixes until after the server maintenance in done, in case it is that that is the problem. You will just be frustrating yourself.

Is the server mainenance done? I'm only curious since I'm trying the fixes, and its after maintenence time

battle.net is still down, I still can't login so my guess is maint is not done yet :p

Also by my calculations we have 12 mins to go until scheduled auth maint is complete ( post advised 5 til 6am PST and its currently 6:48am PDT ) I could be wrong tho...

its almost 7 AM PST here :O

PST or PDT? :p

Pacific standard time :P Im same timezone as blizzard

well now I am confused... isn't California currently in Daylight Savings?

i am too :O Oregon is in daylight savings as well, until around october

ok so aren't you therefore in PDT (ie Pacific Daylight Time) and PST (Pacific Standard Time) is 1 hour behind? :p




Or is American daylight savings different to Australian daylight savings :confused:

Maybe being on the bottom of the world has made too much blood run to my head and confused me :P

A lot of people get them reversed. CA is indeed running on pDt right now, not pSt.

Nope, its always called Pacific Standard time regardless of daylight savings time

edi t- Oh okay, well, in oregon, idk, i call it pst lol so wait so it will be done soon then? since its 7?>

Also, the beta forum says 5 - 6 PST, but when I log in, to try to get in the game server it says "5 PDT to 11 PDT" so its not reflecting on the forums, so it must be down till 11 PDT or 12 PST?

lol edit sorry

edit x 2, the login screen says 5 to 11, forums say 5 -6; i'm horribly confused :P and frustrated, i better go to bed now

don't worry ferous you are not alone :P

I think the login screen is just for normal live maint

The beta forum post is specifically about battle.net auth maint :)

Oh, so 'login servers are busy' is not a client side problem then now, thank god :p

I keep getting confused by the timezones. In how many hours *should* the maintenance be done?

It's not? :O Good, because, I was thinking i had problems lol

Well, from what I've read in this topic it isn't? :o

I suppose it's that authentication maintenance, just wondering when it's actually done.

I hope so :( I hope, I don't have problems, and everyone else doesn't lol -- I'll have to wait and see. I'm OFFICIALLY Going to bed now >.>

I just tried again and got Login Server is Busy... fail

I too have been getting this error, and am still doing so. Nothing on the forums about it, and attempting to login there just results in a note that battle.net is "is down for maintenance. We'll be back soon!".

Yup same here. I asked on MMOC, some people have the same problem and others don't.

Edit: It could be because the Beta realms are handled by the US, and they currently have Tuesday maintenance, till, I think, 19:00PM GMT.

Login Server busy when trying Beta and LIVE realms (no maintenance here in EU today). :(

It would apear that EU Live Realm Login is now working again.

I have the same issue, I finished patching ~6 hours ago and since then have been unable to connect. Ah well. ;)

The error Login Servers Are busy was reported by myself and lowlee when the auth servers were still online as people were playing. Not sure if the servers are back up as i dont have wow on this pc. But i am looking forward to checking it out.


Edit. At this time battle.net is still down so will have to wait another 2 hours or so dang!

Well, while the "login servers are busy", why not enjoy the sexy classic login screen?

I have a few memories of staring at it when my realm had a queue.

It took me all night to get it all installed and patched up. This morning the login server was busy, and same again now.

I'm all disappointed now :(

Is it ever going to be 6 am PST? ;)

Login server still busy in Europe, anyone had any luck getting on today or did i miss an official post somewhere?

I've been having the same issues since yesterday evening. battle.net is still down for live maintenance, so it's not like anyone can post.

If the live maintenance is still going, that's probably why we cant get on beta.

Thats a possibility however we started seeing the "Login Server Busy" message hours before the maint began :)

Still I am optimistic that when battle.net comes back up I will be able to get on to the beta server... :p

well there is this post now:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...0&pageNo=8#155

but it didnt fix anything for "us" (seems that only wowi keys are affected by this "login server busy" issue, beta still works for "normal" beta users (selected by blizzard)).

*sigh* :)

I can login on EU Live realms now but beta sill not working. :( :mad:

When I try to login to the betaforums I get this message: The site is down for maintenance. We'll be back soon!

Errors for me too, same as everyone else. I'm on EU.

while we (im)patiently wait for battle.net to come back from maint can I ask fellow WoWI keyholders that are having this issue if you copied characters over before trying to log in for the first time?

I have not copied any characters over, and I am having this issue as well.

Tried all the various fixes listed, nothing has worked so far.


Has anyone who has received a WoWI beta key been able to log in?

well that neuters that theory of mine :P

Not been able to log in myself either and I saw a post on the official forums showing that it seems wowi users can't log in yet.

Is it possible that they have stopped us from logging in knowing we are addon authors and they holding us at bay until they add the addon stuff ? Just a theory.

I think they decided to go ahead and invite UI authors in the hopes that we can give much better feedback on the new UI. Case in point, I saw a post a while ago from an Addon author about a cata UI bug where he not only gave a detailed description of the bug and how to replicate it, but his analysis on the cause and possible solutions.

Not sure why we're getting the errors we are; if it's an account-based issue, it should give us an error about not being authorized to access the beta. If it's a client-based issue, then it would affect all users, not just WoWI ones.

I just tried accessing the cataclysm beta forums and it said they were offline for maintenance so perhaps the whole cata servers are down for maintenance still.

But people from opt-in can still log on

There's now a thread on the beta Tech Support forums where people are letting Blizz know about this: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...Id=25968569687

I was finally able to post on the forums:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...69687&sid=2000

Chime in if you can.

I'm able to log in to the beta forums, but not able to select a character in order to post.

I have no characters to post, the copy seems to take some time...
(Edit: Two copies are reported as successful, but I cannot select any character to post :().

But hopefully this will get some Tech attention to the problem.

I can't even post in that thread. I'm logged in to the forum, but I have no character to select from so that I can post. :(

Same issue as yesterday on the forums.. I can login but not able to select a character because none of the characters that I copied are not showing up when it tells me to select a character. And I still get login server is busy when I try to login with the WoW Beta Client.

My situation exactly.
