Ongoing World of Warcraft issues

Thank you so much. It was happening all evening so I will provide an update on how things go from now a bit later!
Sounds good. Oh and for the Horde!
Unless you play as the Alliance, in which case I’ll grudgingly replace the word Horde with Alliance. 
Fingers crossed things have gone well though!

Yep it was wow classic I had the issues on last week. Haven't been able to play retail unfortunately due to the lack of people on it at the moment.
Are retail populations really that bad?
@JonoH put it this way...on retail im in a guild of 979 people, currently there are 2 other people online 
Cripes! I don't play retail, but I have been surprised with how many people are playing Classic currently.
It seems the static IP has solved the problem for me. I have been running instances none stop (constant loading screens) and have not had a single freeze/disconnect/world server error since. The hour before you guys did the IP change I was running into those issues on about 2/3 of loading screens.
As soon as you made the change for me it has not happened a single time! 
I understand a static IP may not be the permanent fix you can offer and I'm happy to help you diagnose further if there is anything I can do on my end.
I don't normally associate with Horde.. but you guys OK 
Hi, I can confirm that this is an issue for Classic as well, it's been driving me nuts.
This also has nothing to do with the DDoS - I've observed it regularly before, during, and after the attacks.
I went through the entire thread and it seems that a static IP would fix this - can I get one as well? Will this show up on our bill? It's not really about the £5, but I'd have to explain it to our landlord etc. 
For what it's worth, I think this behaviour is completely unacceptable on Blizzard's part. The game should (and mostly is) be resilient even to 2-3 sec complete outages; some packet loss shouldn't throw you off the flight path midway, it's completely game braking 
.
Thanks for helping with this!

Awesomeness, it's good to see that you've been able to play normally since having a static IP.

Thanks for being our guinea pig, we'll be in touch soon to get started if we need to.

Lok'tar ogar!
@iosifs Sorry to see you're having issues too Log into your account then go Here to add a static IP on. Once it's added you'll need to reboot your router/disconnect your connection for it to take effect. While this will add a one off charge of £5 onto the next bill, if you don't want to keep the static IP indefinitely I'd be happy to add a credit of £5 to negate it. I'll then remove the static IP along with the free ones we've added once we're sure that we're not the cause for the issue.
Let us know how it goes, it's not a guaranteed fix as there may be other causes but if it doesn't fix the problem and you don't want to keep the static I'll get the credit added and the IP removed. Fingers crossed it improves things though!
@JonoH Unfortunately I had a momentary lapse of judgement and went for a non-pvp realm Mirage Raceway. Currently level 8 Tauren Hunter, my plan was to transfer to a pvp realm when I'm high enough. 
Reading up, don't think it's possible to go from normal/pve to pvp but the other way round seems do-able. Ah well. Might make an alt character on Shazzrah.
When you do let me know your char name and leveling zones
