As I wanted to look on the games workshop website today, I noticed that the only thing I saw on the site was a dark eldar advance order and that was it. there's nothing else on the website.
Has anyone have the same problem, or does it depend on my server?.

I got the same thing. I imagine it's either a glitch or their servers are getting swamped.

I'm having the same problem. I wonder if all of the bad news over the last 24 hours has led to some poor soul cracking and attacking the site.

Its because their root categories are null or empty.

I've been able to get on there without any issue... to find out that yesterday they announced a fantastic development in miniature making which they won't tell us about until the end of the month... the point being?

Kind of like that to me as well, someone must have hit the site.

I'm getting a similar situation for Heresy Online

Is anyone able to access that site?

The whole website shutdown last night around 1am Eastern Standard Time (USA). It had a big old error message plastered on it. I have a feeling they are just doing maintenance.

It's all part of their new approach. No marketing, no previews and now, no selling either

No there's the article about the Finecast.

Same problem bro.

It is GW's hatred for all things online finally breaking the internet.

I was actually browsing the online store, all was normal, then i clicked the next link, and all the prices were blank and the menu bar was missing. i click back, try some other items on menu bar, all prices are cleared atm.

If all the prices have been cleared this could potentially be a GW database problem where someone is either doing a MASSIVE update (not impossible seen as they are moving over to resin) or more likely someone has left a lock on the DB table.

All this could be possible with a hack of course, I just don't see GW as a site that hackers would aim for. Non the less it isn't impossible.

I'm sure the recent news could potentially make them more of a target though. They'd probably be able to take the site down for maintenance if they needed to update the database so much that it would crash the site like that. Or at least manage it a little better so as not to make their shares drop even more in one day, but they could be going for a record.

o and i have the same problem (no access to the site)

It's back (well for me anway...)

No visible changes either.

I still can't navigate anywhere

It's back up.

So I noticed..,

Yeh it looks like it's back up, pretty fast recovery actually.

I saved a screenshot anyway for those curious anyway.
