I am guessing that depending on your account, you log into a specific server, and if that server is down or the modem to that server is down, you get a connection error. Prager's account must be on a different server. shadowdune must be on the one I am on, because the exact same thing happened to me. I am still getting connection errors, but at this point I have to busy myself with other things. I hope you are right Prager, but you can't make a bug report if you can't log in, and unless the admins read this forum thread regularly, it might be a while until they know there is any problem, as many are playing the game just fine apparently.
