After almost 25 hours, issue is still there, I called Activision french call
center that confirmed me the problem was the loss of their main servers. <br>
<br>
At the time they're not able to say how long it will last. <br>
<br>
I will receive a mail for every new information about issue (that's what
support told me...) and post a reply here if answer is interresting.<br>
<br>
Hope they'll fix it soon. <br>

Some people still can't connect their servers. The problems does not affect all
