"It's a busy day for Blizzard servers," the error message says. "To help everyone out, you've been placed in a queue. Queues from range from a few minutes up to above multiple hours.
Is Blizzard Down?
According to Down Detector, Battle.net has been experiencing issues since 9 p.m. EST. Blizzard customer service has tweeted that they are aware of the problem and are looking into a solution to fix it. In the meantime, you'll have to try another game to bide your time. Fortnite servers are currently up, so that's a game you can try out.
We're currently investigating an issue affecting our authentication servers, which may result in failed or slow login attempts.
