Warcraft 3 Servers Dead for 3 Days – Blizzard, Are You Speedrunning Rock Bottom?

Dear Blizzard,

Just checking in after three glorious days of not playing Warcraft 3, also known as staring at a frozen lobby screen while your servers cosplayed as a brick.

Three days. Let that sink in.

In that time, a neurosurgeon could’ve swapped out an entire brain – maybe even mine, so I’d stop expecting competence from your team.
I could’ve trained a chimp to recognize “You have been disconnected” faster than your engineers can fix it.
NASA could’ve launched a satellite, mapped a new galaxy, and come back – and your server still wouldn’t load a custom game lobby.

And while I’m wasting my life clicking “Join Game” like a lab rat with hope issues, your billion-dollar company sits in silence. No updates. No tweets. Not even a half-baked “We’re looking into it.”
Honestly, at this point, is the server team just a single hamster in a wheel that died last week?

Let’s talk facts. Warcraft 3 is 23 years old. That’s older than TikTok, your intern, and possibly the chair I’m sitting on. You don’t need AI or quantum computing to keep it online. You need basic, human-level accountability — something Blizzard apparently uninstalled during the Reforged patch.

You already took this beloved classic and butchered it with Reforged – a remaster so bad it could be studied in game design failure courses. And now? You’re finishing the job by burying it under layers of server errors and corporate silence.

If I wanted to feel ignored, powerless, and stuck in a broken system, I’d go wait in line at the DMV. At least there I might eventually speak to someone.

So unless this is some kind of performance art piece called “What If A Legendary Game Was Left To Die?”, I suggest you:

  • Fix the servers.
  • Tell us what the hell is going on.
  • Or officially declare the game dead and let us all move on from this hostage situation.

Because right now, I’m not playing a strategy game. I’m playing a patience simulator, and spoiler alert — it sucks.

Do better. Or at least pretend you care.

Blizzard, as I mentioned in my own post even when this game is over 20 years old the community is very much alive. Most of us were only under 10 years old when Warcraft 3 came out. You made people pay for this game again when the majority still have the CD’s from back then so that means you have an obligation to address the issues as they arise. We are all waiting.
