wow, thats a big chunk of their building!

oh well, that's what happens when you have no disaster recovery plan in place.

its not Blizzards building... its AT&T datacenter in Virginia... but they are hosting the 2 WoW beta servers out of it...
the Data is safe but the beta servers have been water damaged..
the team has been there round the clock since Friday night...
they have a disaster recovery plan juts nothing they can do with waterlogged servers till they dry out..
