I can't connect, either. What's the deal? Can I get a 1-day refund for not being able to play at all? My husband can log in on his computer. He uses Windows XP where I use Windows 7. Is this the problem? This is ridiculous!I've been reading posts, and some are saying shards are going live, but I still can't connect to the log in server.
Who's seeing what?
This worked for me as well. Thanks for posting. Welcome to service based America. What do you do when the service sucks? Well someone will figure it out sooner or later.Apparently the problem is similar to one people had before, and I performed the same fix but with a different IP address:

People are randomly gaining access but this worked for me. Add this line instead of the one in that thread:

Worth a try if you're frustrated, otherwise you can wait it out. Good luck!
this... they changed the IPs for the login servers and it could take a while to propagate. Looks like the login servers have been moved to AWS N. Virginia (US East Coast) as well...Did they change IP addresses and we're all waiting on the various DNS servers to update?
i added it under everything that was there on the first empty linedid the whole administrator thing with no luck. am i supposed to only have that one line in there? I just added it at the bottom, no luck.
this has got to be the most funny quote i read yet!I see dead people and I aint in fel yet.
yes add it on the bottom - just as it is, don't have the # in front like all the other lines in that file - they're 'comments' and don't do anything.did the whole administrator thing with no luck. am i supposed to only have that one line in there? I just added it at the bottom, no luck.
what happens if its text file, how do you change it back and what type of file was it suppose to be to begin with system file or just file?yes add it on the bottom - just as it is, don't have the # in front like all the other lines in that file - they're 'comments' and don't do anything.
Don't let windows turn it into a .txt file either.
how please?just 'file' there's no extension at all.
Probably the easiest way to do this is copy the file to 'my documents', edit it there, then move it back to the proper folder.
I actually renamed my original file 'hosts_' so when I know it's fixed I can delete my edited copy and change the name back on the original.
