Since the official release of "Watchmen: The Return", the international service has been difficult, mostly for European and American players who have encountered problems such as long queues and server connection errors. Previously the president of Blizzard also personally said that the servers of "Watchmen: The Return" had suffered a DDoS attack.

The following are the issues that were fixed by today's shutdown:

• Fixed bugs related to account merging, login, and first-time user experience
• Major database upgrade to address long player queues.
