A post from Blizzard outlines issues that have disrupted the launch of the Warlords of Draenor expansion for World of Warcraft in various territories. They indicate that players flooding servers is part of the problem, but also indicate that some of the issues can be blamed on DDoS attacks on the MMORPG, saying: "While that solution helped a ton for our North American launch, we ran into a few other issues, including a distributed denial of service attack, that resulted in increased latency." Their latest update indicates they should be just about ready to end the emergency maintenance session they invoked to address these problems.
