Update 10:15 AM PST

Our updates have concluded and players with both client versions should now be able to log in. In order to alleviate the issue we are now delaying the release of the 2.0.5 patch until we can provide an alternate means of distribution. The realms are accepting clients using both versions, so those of you who have already updated to 2.0.5 need not take any further action. We’re currently planning to get everyone else updated to 2.0.5 by Monday. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused in your normally scheduled play time.

Update 9:45 AM PST

We're currently in the process of updating our authentication system to allow both 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 game versions to connect. We anticipate this to be completed within an hour. We'll provide further details once the update is done.

The 2.0.5 client-side patch has caused issues with our authentication system. These issues can cause players to be suddenly disconnected from the game, as well as prevent them from logging in to the game. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible and will provide you with updates as soon as they are available.
