when stuff like this happens, that is why i have other games. Not to say something bad about Gameforge, but with online games problems happen. When they do, dont try to aggitate them and keep trying to log in and possibly cause problems with your char. Step away, take a break, watch tv, play something else, take a snack break, etc.... of course while watching the forums.
And when i am playing other games more then RoM, when they have problems, i log into RoM. Always good to have a back up
