    Just look at the massive roll of posts related to server crashes/shutdowns. My server suddenly stopped working, but people still could move around but not do certain things... I couldn't even loot anything or fight anything, including professions as well but the guild chat worked while general chat worked which was odd.

    Several threads is mentioning Chicago datacenter:

    This happened back in ICC release, It should resolve itself but as for the servers that are down? Id say a fibre line is damaged or something, HIGHLY unlikely they would shut a DC down, Way too much to do to get a safe graceful shutdown on all systems and same with power up.
