http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2009/03/az_applelogomac.jpgWe've received a lot of reports of Mac users having problems with the login servers this afternoon, and the Tech Support forums certainly lend some weight to those reports (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=15864259092&sid=1). The thread isn't a 26+ page behemoth yet, but it's only getting started. We don't know how widespread the issue is quite yet, but it seems significant enough.

Blizzard representatives are on the case, and while they haven't fixed the exact problem, they have found a workaround: This is only happening with the World of Warcraft specific login servers, and thus it's only happening to World of Warcraft specific logins. If you merge your World of Warcraft account into a Battle.net account (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/21/blizzard-rolls-out-new-battle-net-accounts/), you will be able to log in.

It's no fix, but if you're desperate enough to play and haven't yet merged your account over, now is a pretty good time to do it. Personally, I'm not sure why you wouldn't do it anyway, but that's just my preference talking. If this login issue gets worse before it gets better, we'll be sure to let you know.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Mac users having login issues this afternoon (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/23/mac-users-having-login-issues-this-afternoon/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:20:00 EST.
