The Stormpeaks were finally reopened after being designated a No Man’s Land, where Blizzard would teleport you out of the zone the second you tried to enter.
Well I’m flying through it now without No Man’s Land, so yeah it does seem to be up (src)
I noticed this pretty much every time I tried to get some online time last night. The servers were crashing without warning, you would just notice that NPCs vanished completely and the world was empty except for other players. Very odd and annoying stuff. Later it was discovered apparently that the cause has to do with the reopening of the Stormpeaks zone.
We’re currently investigating some server stability issues that have started occuring since we unlocked Storm Peaks. These issues are affecting both Northrend and Lich King servers. We hope to have these addressed within the next few updates. In the meantime, the more you play, the more it will help us narrow down what the problem is. (src)
Hopefully they will get things working again soon so we can get back to testing.
