I've not been able to connect today at all. I keep receiving the above message when the logon dialogue gets to waiting for the region handshake. And it takes its time getting there.
The last time I was able to logon I was automatically unlogged in the middle of teleporting, and I'm wondering if I've ended up in no region at all. There doesn't, however, appear to be in any way of checking this.
The status message says there are no server issues, but maybe that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Anyone else in the same position? Is this related to the problem in /invalid_link.html Is there anything simple I can do to check? Or even reposition myself?
