Hang in there and keep trying. I have been playing for 5 years and still have so much enjoyment from it. Good luck!

I have installed the game and updated patch, but I am now getting an error every time I attempt to log onto the game after choosing a server. This problem is repeated on every server. Is there some way around this issue since I am running on a trial account that is up in a few days and I want to try the game, but don't want to pay if this is the way its going to be.
I have already sent an email through the proper channels and from past experience I turn to the community for help, so please can someone tell me whats going on.
