    Player Outrage on US Realms at 3.3.5 Implementation

    Patch 3.3.5 Outrage]
    The US technical support forums are clogged with players posting tracert logs and running through elementary connection troubleshooting with half-ass techs as Blizzard rolls out the new 3.3.5 "Facebook for WoW"/Ruby Sanctum patch.

    I am one amongst thousands of players who are stuck at the Connecting window, and I am unable to find a quick fix. Blizzard asks players to reinstall copies of WoW, run repair.exe, or change their realmlist.wtf file to fix the issue. Hilariously, these solutions were all first provided by intelligent players in the community, and Blizz's techs stickied the posts of these players instead of giving everyone definitive answers as to what was going on.

    A player named Chraz has deciphered the underlying problem with the connection issue:

    While I couldn't originally find the proper config to make the change, the details should help someone at Blizzard sort out the apparently incorrect internal default value(s) for the realmlist.wtf file when it is missing.

    It may not relate to everyone's issue, but it certainly is a problem. If I yank that file, WoW won't replace it, and it tries to connect to "enUS.logon.battle.net" which is incorrect or old. This needs to be changed in WoW code I would imagine.

    Also, a quick DNS record update to "enUS.logon.battle.net" to match the "us.logon.battle.net" would be a fast solution requiring no user interaction at all. Unless that domain is going to be used elsewhere, no harm done right?
    Until Blizzard releases a universal fix, a good amount of players will remain unable to log on the game, which will no doubt devastate raids and planned events in the coming week, including the Midsummer Fire Festival.

    Doesn't have anything to do with queues, Confucius. If anything, queues should be shorter with 1/4 of the game pop experiencing these problems.
