I started a free trial to check out the game, and downloaded the client for PC, but when i log in and try to select a server it says "unable to connect to DBserver" any ideas how to fix this? also what servers are most populated eastcoast US daytime?

Wait for maintenance to end, then try again. It's normally just once a week, you just had temporary bad luck. Most populated US servers are Freedom, followed by Virtue. When you log in, they will be listed in reverse order, from least to most populated.

WELCOME! Have fun.

I think the maintenance period is long over with today. I've been on for a couple hours already.. If the OP can't get in right now, the OP might be having a different issue?

I'm on Freedom, which is the most populated East Coast server by the way.

If maintenance is over, then yes. OP?

What happens when you select a server?

That's commonly due to some sort of a firewall.
Quote:
If you are running a firewall, please make sure it is configured to allow full Internet access for City of Heroes or City of Villains; the files CityOfHeroes.exe, CoHUpdater.exe, and/or CovUpdater.exe need to be allowed access.
Quote:
City of Heroes and City of Villains require that the following ports be fully unrestricted and accessible inbound and out.

All of these ports:
TCP 2104
TCP 2106
UDP 7000-7100

One of the following ports:
TCP 6994 or TCP 13094 or TCP 23094

If you are connecting to the game while on a campus or business network, please consult your network's administrator to verify that these ports are available. If you are on a home Local Area Network (LAN) or behind a router, please make sure that your network's hardware is properly configured.
If that doesn't work.. try the following page to find out about downloading and using CoH's Network Tool:
I am able to log in to the game, but I cannot connect to the server.

Definitely go with what Master and Lucky said. I asked my earlier question because I don't think you're actually successfully logging in and getting a "no connection" message--I think you're just not connecting at all. Check that firewall.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

But I usually delete those posts hopefully before anyone quotes me.
