# World of Warcraft: My soldiers! We must defeat this evil…when we can login again!

Netcraft reported that World of Warcraft was having a wee bit o' performance hell. [[here](http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2006/03/25/widespread_outages_for_world_of_warcraft.html)]

Guess a few wizards are going through withdrawal right now.

Looks like [Joi Ito](http://joi.ito.com/), [a serious World of Warcraft fiend](http://www.google.com/custom?q=warcraft&sa=Search&cof=LW%3A240%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fjoi.ito.com%2Farchives%2Fimages%2Flogo2-trim.jpg%3BLH%3A64%3BBGC%3AWhite%3BAH%3Aleft%3BGL%3A0%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fjoi.ito.com%2F%3BAWFID%3Ade3e917c93428e74%3B&domains=joi.ito.com&sitesearch=joi.ito.com), might have to mount up his troops for an all out assault on this one!

PS: Looks like it just staggered to life! Watch the onhoing saga [here](http://www.grabperf.org/homepage.php?page=scatter&test=185&hours=2)!
