Blizzard apologizes for World of Warcraft's catastrophic state following the latest patch

The iconic MMORPG has been struggling since the release of the Midnight expansion last March. Countless bugs, crashes, and other glitches have been reported by World of Warcraft players over the past few weeks.

The recent rollout of update 12.0.5 only made matters worse! The patch brought its own set of new problems that exasperated the community. So much so that Blizzard Entertainment had to issue an apology on the matter.

"The 12.0.5 patch launch was not up to our standards, and we know this disrupted your time and caused justified frustration.

The team has been working around the clock since launch to stabilize the game and fix the biggest issues players were hitting right away [...].

The team is taking lessons learned from this launch to help ensure this doesn't happen again. We will also work harder to communicate openly, early, and often when a launch doesn't go as expected: the known issues we're working on, fixes as they roll out, and any other information that would be useful to our community as problems are worked on and solved.

We care deeply about this game, and we play it right alongside you. We will do better."

Now all that’s left is to wait for yet another patch.
