Stuck on Retrieving Character List screen

deleted my account and all my characters then log back in and now it works for me

I have 65 lv 80 characters, they’re just doing it in waves, but it probably does take a little longer for people with more characters

Thanks for the update <3

Hi, seems to be a network/host/DNS issue… servers are up and reachable for some

What do you mean? The issue is actively being fixed as we speak, several people got in as did I. What do you mean no updates lol

We do have people working on it actively as we speak, this is definitely true :slight_smile:

As much as it pains me to admit this, the fact that some players have been able to login is unfortunately just a coincidence :frowning:

The root cause of the problem is still being worked on, and we do not have indeed updates to share regarding when this issue will be fully fixed.

i fixed it for me by deleting my whole WTF folder and letting it generate a new one.

It’s just started an update..

I just keep refreshing “stuck character service” as long as it shows only my classic panda I created for the mount I know it’s likely to be stuck :<

i ripped out the root of the problem like amanthul did to ysharj and now it works for me

Feels wild that things are getting fixed on their own but it’s not due to Blizzard’s efforts lmao
