What would be the cause showing realm status is up, on the realm status page, but when trying to log in i get the "logging in to game server" but then get kicked back to server select?

i figured the server would be down, but the realm status is usually pretty quick to show updated info.

server is Ravenholdt.


can log in to other servers

I'm able to login, and there are definitely players logged in. Are any of you in the same geographical location or using the same Internet Service Provider?

Odd folks. Unfortunately there isn't much that the Game Master department can do to assist. Are you able to connect to other realms?
