So I could log in after several failed attempts. My main account got deleted so I am using a different one. I logged in and was dead, as a ghost, on GM island. After a few minutes I got teleported to Ironforge and a GM (not gonna say who) asked me who I was, so I told him. There were 5 of us there. We had conversations (they let me stay) and they were just having fun in Ironforge, spawning random totems (made me lag). So that's my experience with this.
I might know some other things.....
Now the log-in server is down and so is the website.
