Return of Reckoning

Hello,

I've booted the game for the first time, and when it came to server selection, I encountered a bug.

I begin to connect with the server and get stuck "Locating Battles"
Forum mentions several fixes but nothing seems to work.

The login server is up and people are logged in.
I have yet to create a character.
I downloaded directly w/o a torrent.
I installed the recommended Direct X files.
Settings on on high.
I am not using Avast or any commercial antivirus.
I tried turning it off and on again.

Looks like the server is down. It even says offline on the main page. I just finished making a character too. I was getting excited to play this again after 6 years.

Current server reboot due to, too much lag.

Thanks to everybody who responded right away!
I noticed after I posted that "Martyr's Square" had gone offline, but I could have sworn that it was online when I first encountered my error.

Now that it's rebooting, I can see that about ~100 players have logged on so far, but my issue remains.

Handshaking...Logging In....Login Timed Out....Locating Battles.

Launcher downloaded patch manifest and verified files - 1 file was new and downloaded.
My issue persists. Not sure if I'm allowed to update this each time a patch comes out, just to show it's still relevant, or if it would be seen as spammy, but I'm still locked out.

Looking forward to alpha testing RoR!

Okay, it's been a week, the game has been patched, all files verified, and I'm still locked out with this issue.

Another week, another patch. Glad other issues are fixed, but mine remains. Haven't been able to log in once, ever.
