World of Warcraft Falls Victim to DDoS Attack

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, the latest expansion for Blizzard's ever-popular MMO, launched yesterday, prompting millions of gamers to hop back into the game's incredible online world. Unfortunately, it hasn't all just been smooth sailing for Blizzard, though, as the game was hit by a DDoS attack yesterday.

Blizzard has been providing updates on its forums, with the latest noting that the game will be undergoing maintenance this morning. "We’ll be performing maintenance on all NA realms beginning at 5 a.m. PST in order to address issues with realm stability. We anticipate this process will last approximately 4 hours and appreciate your patience during this time," Blizzard's community manager explained.

I'm currently working my way through Warlords of Draenor for review, and it's one heck of a meaty experience. Keep an eye out for my full written assessment of this new expansion in the coming days.
