warcraft billing system down?

Blizzard is having some issues with billing this weekend. It isn't clear if it is an automated system gone awry, or perhaps a larger issue. The result is that many of us can't log into WOW today. We get an error saying our prepaid time is up.

The issue is we are not paying via prepaid time. Instead we pay monthly, and the last batch of monthly cards are stuck in 'pending' mode. So we can't log in, and can't change anything.

Perhaps most frustrating is that Blizzard has no support on the weekend. Nobody to call or alert. For a game this massive it just makes no sense.

Bad timing too with Warhammer coming out right about now. As for me, I will get some work done and maybe buy Rock Band 2 today. And watch as my wife plays WOW and has no issues logging in and gleefully mocks me while doing it.
