WoW PTR bug: Character copy page not working in Firefox

Mozilla Firefox - Image 1The World of Warcraft Public Test Realms (PTR) is reportedly experiencing problems with its character copy page. Going into further details about this matter, Lilianara over at the WoW forums reported that Firefox 2.0.0.3 was unable to access the PTR character copy page, with users being greeted with a “Server Busy” error every time they attempt to enter. The bug problem was picked up by the Blizzard dev team and have sent this reply via blue-poster Nickjs:

Hello Lilianara,

The account management page is currently experiencing some issues and the appropriate teams are working to resolve it as soon as possible. In the meantime, please continue to try and successfully copy the character. We do apologize for any inconvenience.

With regards to Nikjs’ advise for users to try to find ways to work around this problem, Lilianara provided this work-around:

  1. use IE to go to the char copy page (i didnt get the error 1 over several hours of testing)
  2. Use the Firefox mod, IE tab or IE View to render the page in IE inside Firefox. (didnt get the server busy error using this method over my testing.)   

That’s all to report for the moment – the workaround should help until Blizzard can properly fix the reported page issue.
