Please see the recent posts by staff. Advanced DDoS protection is already in place on the game servers. That is why they are actually staying online as opposed to their state a week ago. Also, CloudFlare is only for websites, not game systems.

It's mostly caused by a natural decline at this time of year with everyone back to school/college. It picks up in December - January, and it's main population is May - August

Blame Mitchell. Closed

Uh.. well then Report invalidated

If you're leaving feedback or a suggestion, please use the suggestion forum. If you are reporting a player, please back it up with times and screenshots or other appropriate evidence so they can be dealt with efficiently.

A player compensation is only considered when an incident happens on our side that results in significant downtime or data loss.

If its showing some sort of socket errror, then it is the voting site that is having the problem. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Reaper would not be updated to 5.x even when eventual support for it starts appearing. We'd open a new realm for it or something. Reaper will be on 4.3.4 fairly soon, which is the final Cataclysm patch, and that will be it's final version forever. It will be stabilized and perfected over time, like the 3.3.5 realms were when Cataclysm came out.

MoP / patch 5.x will not be natively supported by any private servers for a long time. The amount of work needed to support new patches, and especially new expansions, is unimaginable. Not to mention that Blizzard have made it harder than ever to emulate the game (there is not even a realmlist file anymore) which causes further time and effort needed to reverse-engineer it. I'm sure it will happen eventually. Developer groups will figure it out and get a workable system for it, which servers then base their cores on. Patch 5.x only just came out, so unless there is some kind of miracle, Cataclysm is going to be the highest you'll get for the next couple of years.

It can randomly happen to anyone. The wait time varies a lot and is fairly unpredictable. Some may be able to connect after an hour, some could be waiting up to a day. There is no way of telling. But once it allows you back in, it is very unlikely it would disconnect you like that any more.

At the moment there is a very strict firewall on the gameservers to keep out an ongoing DDoS attack. Unfortunately this can sometimes interfere with normal traffic. If the login gets stuck, either wait a while and try again later, or try from a new IP address.

Delete anything in your main WoW folder starting with "IceCold" (except IceColdLauncher) and try again, running it as admin

Simply put it into the same folder that your WoW is installed in. No need to open it or anything.

Wait a while, or try from another IP address.

Well, he should no longer be a problem. An advanced DDoS firewall is now in place

The server is now behind a very advanced and expensive DDoS firewall. This guy is not going to be a problem any longer.

That's correct, but in our case they requested money which is why he stated that.

Thank you for the torrent link :) We just included a basic Mac setup package on the Downloads page for players on Macs to get online here. But it doesn't work for everyone and this download would be for those people.

Topic merged into proper one

That's great to hear. We hoped that the launcher update would be an all-round problem solver

www.icecold-wow.com/topic/2695-error-132-patch-50-solution/

Our IceCold Launcher has been updated today. An important new feature allows you to overcome any problems or errors on your WoW install. If you have upgraded to Patch 5.0 or have a corrupted install, or just need to re-install WoW, this is the solution for you! There is a new button on the launcher: Click it if you wish to install (or re-install) a fresh Cataclysm game in the folder that the Ice Launcher is in. It takes no more than 10 minutes and you'll be up and running in no time! NOTE: After the install process, in-game may be very slow or missing/loading content. To speed this up, close the game and run Repair.exe before using it again.
