Hey again everyone,
My post keeps getting buried under more posts unrelated to the OP’s, but in general, we do not have large volumes of players reporting this. There certainly are a lot of players here, but comparative to the vast majority of players who are connecting without issues at this time, this is an (understandably) vocal minority. If this were some kind of server issue, we’d just tell you this was the case, but this issue will not get fixed for you if you do not troubleshoot it.
Reposting my old message and locking the thread so people can see the information more easily. As mentioned below, if you have this problem you need to handle this individually either with your own thread or through support.
