Comcast breaks the internets! I NEEDS MY WOW!
Aex | 7:41 PM on 06.14.2007 4 comments




Hear that? Listen closely... Yes, that! That is the cry of thousands of Comcast customers complaining they cannot log onto their WoW server. Apparently some goof ball at AT&T must have tripped over a wire in the server room and disconnected a router to NoCal.

Here is what a Tracert looks like from a NoCal Comcast Customer. ( me :( )

CURSE YOU AT&T!!

Blizzard is being surprisingly helpful about the situation, even though none of it happens to be their fault. They have started a forum posting to quell the anger of the Comcast masses. Wow Forum Posting.

Personally, I can live a few days without WoW, but I have a stronger will than most... Well, that and booze.

 about me

Best game in the world, ever, quite possibly should be, maybe, kinda, God of War.... Maybe Guitar Hero. I don't really put myself into a fanboy class, if I had to choose one, I'd probably go with the Wii ... haters. Useless, overpriced, POS. I currently own a ps2, wii, ps3, xbox360, DS Lite, and a PSP. Pirating is bad... if you are caught o.O
