WotLK Beta, Live and Tournament realms issues

[RSS News Poster]

Beta site activated in Europe
Remember yesterday's news about http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/ being "activated" and showing a 403 "Forbidden" error instead of the usual "404" Page not found ? Well, it looks like things are moving fast because http://beta.wow-europe.com/ has been activated as well this morning ! It definitely looks like Blizzard is getting prepared for something.

Arena tournament issues and plans
A few posts have been made concerning various issues with the Arena Tournament and what's scheduled for it.
Quote from Blizzard staff
Unusually long queue times
We are currently looking into the reason behind the long queue times, and will report back as soon as we get more information. We are actively testing the queues, and should have more information within a few hours. (Source)

Addons restrictions on Tournament Realm
During the online phase of the tournament, there are no restrictions in regards to what add-ons players can use. For the live event, there are restrictions in place limiting players to the default UI and custom macros. (Source)

Arena Tournament realm on the Armory site
It is not currently on the Armory, but we do plan on adding it. Currently the Arena Tournament is in the practice phase, but once we are a little ways into the actual qualifiers you can expect the data you see on regular realms (characters, teams, ladders, etc.) to show up on the Armory. (Source)

Posting on forums as your Arena Tournament character
It's not currently possible to post using your arena character. We are looking into various posting options for arena tournement players for the future, however. (Source)




Live servers bugs
A few more blue posts concerning bugs affecting live realms.
Quote from Blizzard staff
Other players' crafting results not filtered out when set to "Self"
We are aware of this issue and are working to resolve it. (Source)

Guild Banks Withdrawals count not resetting
Our DBAs are actively working to resolve this issue. The initial cause seems to have been resolved but as this is still affecting some players it is still being investigated. Please continue to report this problem via In-game GM reports. I'd suggest putting in a petition each day that the bank limit has not been reset for your guild. Be sure to submit your reports with the character's being affected so that our DBAs can correlate the data. (Source)
