We\u2019ll post further updates on that in the near future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, though, it seems most of the server problems have been sorted out. According to Whipple, Blizz is &#8220;continuing to monitor performance globally and will be taking further measures as needed to ensure a positive experience for everyone&#8221;, so that&#8217;s lovely.
