I think the ports to get INTO the game are whats clogged. Once you are in the game, you still get DCed frequently, so I think its 2 main bugs.
1. The log in server having problems.
2. The game booting you making you go through the log in bug again. May not just be one bug, could be several causing this.
If you guys weren't there... You couldn't get into WoW without serious effort the first week either, but we all see where that game is. The first 4 months EVERYONE complained about the support, but they eventually stabalized with a pretty solid game. So if the gameplay is there, the support doesn't need to be godly.
Okay. To fix most of the errors you delete the DnL.ini file. That's in the sog folder, it will say dnl and the icon should be a notepad document with a gear in front of it. Then do a full file check and patch. To fix the disconnect error after the splash screen I fiddled around a lot and what finally did it was enabling irc communication through my ports settings on my virus scan software. Love me l8r if that works for you. I can now log on to be told that I have to wait until the 13th to log in.
ya so i turned off my windows firewall as well as my virus scan and still get disconnected so does that mean i can not play because of the network im on?
Getting disconnected in game is different. I played SB from startup and that's to be expected until they work out the bigger server bugs. You couldn't play for half an hour on sb because they had a memory leak without getting the sb.exe error, and that turned out to be the best game I've ever played. I would really keep fiddling with the settings alphonze. I only changed three things on mine and it worked. Enable download and upload irc settings and turned off smartenforcer. /shrug.
Well I was getting discos after 30 seconds in game every time. I thought it might be my 'low end' pc just being slow and causing timing problems. I dunno. Just built a new 'ninja b*st*rd' PC lets see if the fairs better (if the server come back)
thx for the info although im not sure exactly what you mean by enable upload and download through irc...anyone have an easy way of explaining how to do this?

'You have been disconnected' error
Tried my old PC, it worked fine first time... don't get it.
Same router etc. but it is XP SP1 not SP2
The grey screen of death...
Didn't want to second guess how well their servers could handle the load but glad they could recognize quickly what was going on...

Me too,
Getting disconnected after a minute or two in game. (different to bombing before getting in game).
I am running on low end hardware and wonder if there is some marginal timing between client and server.
I'll post here if I can stay in for more than a couple of mins.
