Return of Reckoning

I had a weird issue just a couple of minutes ago. I was in Ostland, setting up a Crypt Capture when all of a sudden all NPC's and Player around me vanished. I couldn't do anything and thus closed the Game via the Task Manager, since it wouldn't let me log out either. I then tried to open up the Game and successfully managed to do so, however there was no Server to connect to. The next try (and all consecutive tries so far) then ended up in me not being able to log in. The Web Server shows as online, the Login Server as yellow. After a few seconds the following error occurs and the Login Server status turns to red:
Could not connect to Login server
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): Ein Verbindungsversuch ist fehlgeschlagen, da die Gegenstelle nach einer bestimmten Zeitspanne nicht richtig reagiert hat, oder die hergestellte Verbindung war fehlerhaft, da der verbundene Host nicht reagiert hat 178.32.58.46:8000
bei System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(IPAddress[] addresses, Int32 port)
bei System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(String host, Int32 port)
bei RoRLauncher.Client.Connect()

(Yeah I know part of it is german, sadly.. for some reason.)

Anyone else having this issue or is it just a Server Down?

Yes, server is down. Will be back up soonish.

I've had the same issue.

Could not connect to Login server
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 178.32.58.46:8000
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(IPAddress[] addresses, Int32 port)
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(String host, Int32 port)
at RoRLauncher.Client.Connect()

How long might the server be down for?

It's back up already. Kind of unnecessary topic from me to be frank, but I wanted to be sure, since the ingame stuff happening earlier was quite weird.

sorry, but i have the same problem of tuath since yesterday. I play for 30 minutes, than the game kick me and i cannot login because of that error. Why?

I've had a problem but it's weird I check and it says people are playing online I just get this error. Could not connect to Login server

Check this thread for the server status, read the title of the thread, that is the current status. Either [offline] or [online]. Checking the end of that thread may give you an update for when the server might be back online, however there is not always a know reason for down time or an eta on when it will be back up.

Alternatively, you can check the RoR Twitter and Facebook pages, however they are not always up-to-date.
