How to find out World of Warcraft Server Status

With separate maintenance schedules and occasionally down times, it's nice to know WoW's server statuses. Every realm in WoW Classic and the modern game may experience occasional interruptions. It's important to be aware that Blizzard is the cause and not you. Fortunately, there's a simple way to view realm status at any time.



Blizzard's official Realm Status page is available on the official website. It lists all realms in both the WoW Classic and modern games. Every realm is listed with its type, population size and time zone. You can also change regions on the top right. Datchley's Blog The status icon on the bottom left of the screen indicates whether the realm is available to you. This is a key place to look in case you're trying to log into your character on the day of maintenance or a launch day to test a new patch.



If you do a quick search for WoW realm status, you'll see a few sites that look exactly the same as the official site. While I would not recommend them over the official site for WoW realm status, they're an excellent place to determine whether Blizzard's site is down. Your last way of checking whether or not the realms are down is simply logging in and seeing the type of message you receive. Sometimes, you can access a live list showing the status of all realms as well as their status. This was an important step to gain access to WoW Classic for name reservations last year.



You can also find people complaining about servers being down on Twitter and Discord. In those times of need, know that you're not the only one. We're all trying to log back in to complete our World Quests or leveling. The next time there's an outage, our combined patience will make the servers get back online faster. I hope.
