Confirmed Nov. 29, 2019, in Taiwan.
According to other users, using VPN connections may solve the problem.
However, not everyone knows how to use VPNs.
Moreover, it's very cumbersome to use VPNs whenever we want to visit the website.
There is a way to get into Minecraft login or make a new account
Go to https://my.minecraft.net/en-us/login/?return_url=/en-us/profile/ to login.
If you need to create an account, you can scroll down and there would be some words that say:
Don't Have an Account? Register one here! You can click that and it will send you to the buy page.
Same problem has appeared on China Mobile ISP
China Telecom and China Unicom are not affected.
Please fix it! 😞
This issue shall be fixed, and please feel free to let us know if the website is still unreachable.
Thank you for your patience.
It works here! Thank you very much.
