Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hey,

Just a few minutes ago I've disconnected from the server and when I do sign in it slows down in Connecting, Authenticating, or Hand Shaking then after around 10 minutes of waiting it'll log me in but there's no NPC, No players, my name is "Unknown" and none of my chats work or UI interactions. Also it seems no one else is having this problem. Before hand I was just in SW and everything was working fine when suddenly everything froze, I was still able to move and the chat just stood still. I could do no interaction nor press the log out. I was forced to close the game entirely.

Edit 1:
After reading through the posts it's not the realm list since I was able to get in before hand not a few minutes ago,
It's not internet connection i'm currently using it and it's working fine.
It's not the firewall,
Not hardware,
This is my only account,
I don't believe i've been banned although the website is not letting me sign in and either says "Login failed! Bad credentials." or times out

Edit 2:
I'm not from California, I'm from New York with a different Internet Provider than the rest of the people in the comment.

I recently just connected again but it just disconnected me again.

Edit 3:
I'm back online, i've noticed that my character has actually move when I logged in and no one was viewable. Seems I was connected but most likely a server problem.

I was also greeted by a gold seller named Tanin (Probably hacked account again) at OKOGAMES.

I am having similar issues except I cannot even get into the game.

Same issue for me, Sittign in Org, Latency is 24570, probably something with the internet.
Im using Comcast, and im in Nor-Cal....

Also having the same issues, connecting from California

PVP server, huge chunk of the guild has been DC'd and is stuck on either "handshaking," "connecting," or "retrieving character list" It's been over 45 minutes and nothing has been resolved.

same issue here

Same as well. Even the TBC PTR server is down as well.

Also having this problem. San Diego, CA.

Was around the crossroads when I noticed the NPCs didn't load in as I walked into town. Thought they were dead, then I noticed I couldnt logout etc. I can sometimes get in game, but I'm not truly in game, it ends up just like when I was trying to logout in Xroads. And I only managed to get that far through the login once.

Same here. Oddly enough, also in California...

Same problem, also in Northern California.
