Today, while trying to log in to Classic Era to continue my Hardcore Classic Character, i was met with a pop-up & Account Locked message.
It suggests that our Region (EU) has been shut down, as of Jan 23rd.
It also eats 100% memory while Classic Era is running.
Edit: New patch just got pushed to fix this issue - Restart Bnet or Check for Updates

Critical error, cant even get to the character screen
Same issue here, program immediately uses up all ram and crashes
Same issue for me right now, except this also happened yesterday for five or six login attempts, then Bnet re-updated and reverted to an earlier version. Weird.
always double check that the patch you upload is the correct patch pls
Too bad it was a very very small auto update patch. 
Wow requiring 51096,39 Gigabit memory seems a bit much but perhaps I’m just too old and can’t keep up with the developement and need to upgrade my gear.
Also idk if this is a problem or a solution tbh when considering that Blizzard have “purged” all my vanilla characters since I didn’t specify I wanted them to stay on their vanilla servers during my wow-break. And now they refuse to give them back to me. I also got a nice warning from them that pushing the subject could be considered as harassment of blizz-employe and that THAT was actionable (unlike giving me back my vanilla-characters that they deleted)… smh… This is such a f-ing joke. Ticket:EU87230551. Sorry for the rant but my patience is long gone.
A few minutes I opened the battlenet app to enter and play WoW for a while, the game was updated, then I entered and… Surprise! your character has been locked. Realms won’t be available after Jan 23, 2023…
Prithee ,I need a solution guys
Same problem on EU realms… whats going on
Same issue for me. The game seems to think we are playing on Chinese servers for some reason.
