Stuck on Retrieving Character List screen

Its only 9:45 pm here but doesn’t look like much is going to happen tonight

night night all

1.6gb its rtussian hakers trojans you got downloiaded for your pc. We evryone here playng fine and fun.

no no you need to delete wow folder

That would explain why some person from my bnet were online, they said they just log in. I get stuck on retrieving character list, now 3 hours past the announced maintenance frame

Nowadays blizzard gaming experience was so horrible. Stuck quest that I can’t never finish, stuck characters around valdrakan area, horrible useless support ticket answers that is exactly repeating same thing again and again, don’t mention the horrible writing that 5 years old can write better, forced to see their jerk off doll - sylvanas again….then now the server is down… great! The only shame is there is no other mmorpg that can replace wow

if blizzard came out tomorrow and said “Hey guys! All servers will be shut down for an entire year. Go home” There would still be a huge crowd that wouldn’t complain and would keep applauding Blizzard. It’s honestly tragic for humanity. especially for… blablabla(banned place)

I have the same problem

Same here. Got tired of looking at the “Retrieving character list” thingy and started experimenting. When I switch wifi so I get DC’ed and reconnect then I can open the realm list but all realms are the same. And when I press create character all race options are greyed out and it says under the short text about the race “Requires the The War Within expansion” wich i do most definitely have installed.

But still no luck. Must be some sort of issue in the communication between client and the server I would assume. Guess I’ll just try again later today :person_shrugging:

Please tell your wife to bring our character list back up. :rofl:

same here still not working

same issue bump

If they did that we’d be able to demand a refund for what we’ve paid for the subscription, which would work for me…

(ok not total spent on subscription, but I’ve months left on my current one)

Sames, mate.

Sames.

Yup, still on retrieving Character List” playing on several realms, neither works.

happening for me on Kazzak if that matters. haven’t had luck today.

Nothing seems clickable. can escape with alt+f4 or with control alt del to end task.

Was there any update about this?

So true. ..one truble always brings more trubles

Dear lord, I was going crazy. I see one of my friends online and figured it was a problem on my end. I’ve done the old “delete cache, WTF and interface folders”, reinstalled, changed password, written a ticket (With no response), killed curseforge and double checked that US servers worked for me (Which they do), even tried to do a character unstuck on the last character I played (But that feature seems broken too, so no luck) - So glad to see it’s not just me.

So based on the fact that they don’t have night shift and they work in the USA, I’m guessing the servers will be down until around 2-3 PM GMT? Half a day? Or is there a different team looking at Europe’s servers?
