Game won't launch
I see my account at the top and the server i want to log into on the right but when I hit Play, it just reloads the screen. I cleared cookies and cache and reloaded and same thing.

I can only login to the pre selected world, but I can't change server.
Did you manage to do that?
My 'normal' mode is to play 3 worlds, each in it's own tab, using Chrome - all from a single account login.
A recent change (last week or two?), is if I change focus to a different tab (this game or any other web page) after a few minutes I need to reload and re-log back in to one of the 3 tabs if I go back to a tab that was previously open, active and working fine.
Today, I managed to log in to one tab and world OK - but trying to log in via the second tab got me a 'too many redirects' error screen, on the change server screen.
Trying to log into the 3rd screen gets me to a page that simply says 'Service' at the top of the screen, and beneath states 'method not allowed'.
My best guess is the desire to stop multi-accounts or subs has also prevented the previously legitimate system of a single account playing across multiple servers / worlds, each from a separate tab.
If so, it is very, very poor coding, and worse QA.
Playing via Firefox is a little better (not much), but that kind of misses the point of coding for the most popular browser in the world, doesn't it?
I also doubt they are they are actively trying to reduce multi-accounts for all the reasons people have put forward why it's a 'bad idea' to do so. It's a side effect of other changes. I've been able to log in with more than one account individually today and tonight. But some accounts are also locked out in a loop so it's not a single cause, would be my guess. Without a single cause it points to something other than a concerted effort to stop anything.
so whats next? when all works well ?
But what i find more offensive is that while we all try and find work arounds to this - we here little if any thing that the company is doing to fix this.
Let me be clear - if i spend money one a product - I expect it to work. If the product does not do what is claimed then should i get a refund of monies spent - i think so.
