The problem could happen due to various factors. If your Blizzard keeps disconnecting, you can try the following fixes to solve the problem.
Fix 1: Check Blizzard Server Status
When you receive the error message “you have been disconnected from Blizzard services”, the first thing you need to do is to check the Blizzard server status page (World of Warcraft). If the server is offline, try again later. If the server works properly, move on to the next fix.
Fix 2: Reset the WoW User Interface
If you get the involved error message while playing World of Warcraft (WoW), you can reset the WoW user interface to solve the problem. Here are the detailed steps.
Step 1: Completely close World of Warcraft.
Step 2: If you have any add-on manager, disable or uninstall it so that the removed add-ons won’t be re-added later.
Step 3: Open Blizzard Battle.net and select your WoW from the game list. Then click Options > Open in Explorer.
Step 4: Double-click the World of Warcraft folder to open it. Then access the “_retail_” or “_classic_” folder according to your game version.
Step 5: Rename the Cache, Interface, and WTF folders to CacheOld, InterfaceOld, and WTFOld.
Now, you can launch the game and check if the error message disappears.
Fix 3: Release IP and Flush DNS
It’s possible that you got the error message “you have been disconnected from Blizzard services” due to network issues. To solve the problem, you can try restarting your modem or router. If you still get the error message, you might need to release IP and flush DNS. Here are the detailed steps.
Step 1: Press Win + R to invoke the Run window. Then type cmd in the box and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run Command Prompt as administrator.
Step 2: In Command Prompt, input the following commands one by one and press Enter after each.

Then you can exit Command Prompt and check if the problem has been solved.
Fix 4: Update Windows and Related Drivers
