Players of World of Warcraft have discovered an exploit that allows them to crash any realm in WoW, and they are now wreaking havoc on all servers. The exploit crashes the main worlds and all instances associated with the realm, including dungeon and arena servers. Tichondrius, alone, has been crashed over 10 times tonight, and the general mood of the server is anything but happy. Raiding guilds and arena teams are all on hold as we all wait for official word on when this issue will be addressed. There has been no update from Blizzard regarding the situation as of now, but I suspect the issue will be dealt with ASAP tomorrow morning. Until then, I suggest taking some time away tonight for another game. If you do choose to attempt to arena or raid, good luck!

Odin Sphere is pretty good, FYI. Mal'ganis is on crash number 6, and it's ******* retarded.

Only 10 times, Tich is a bunch of ******* carebears.  Korgath is down every 90 seconds or so.

Well atleast they found it so it can be corrected.  Wonder how many server crashes happened unknowingly because of this bug.  Too bad people have nothing better to do than crash WOW servers.

That explains why my server (Dunemaul) died so suddenly yesterday. Luckily it happened just once (that I know), lol.

Just curious... any idea what is this exploit about??

I tried not to give any hints because I don't want this spreading.  I'm sure it will be common knowledge soon enough. :(
