Technical Is the logon server down???

[NotYagers3]

Im trying to log in, but its stuck at connecting, I ping'd the server in cmd and it times out, tested it with a similar server and received a response. website says many people are online, but i'm not getting any response from the server.
I get a response from the server in cmd, but still stuck at connecting... any ideas?

Nobody has any ideas? I read on a post to email [email protected], but I havent gotten a response and I cant create a ticket for it, I was playing just fine this morning until my power went out and now I have this problem, If I use a VPN it will connect, but I don't want to need a vpn, it was just a test so i know something weird is going on.

I'm having the exact same issue. I tried changing my password and it still wont let me log in the client.
