Is World of Warcraft down? Server status & DDoS reports

At the time of writing (June 9, 13:08 BST), all realms across Europe and North America & Oceania are operational. This can be seen on Blizzard’s WoW realm checker hub.

Back in May, Blizzard experienced a DDoS attack, meaning that all services including World of Warcraft went down. Blizzard confirmed that the servers were a victim of multiple “attacks.”

Hotfixes and patches are usually the reasons servers drop.

Is there any planned maintenance for WoW?
