Please help with connection

[coridan]

I am trying to run the game for the first time...but it will not let me connect to the patch server for some reason. When I look on the main page I see that the server is online with people playing so not sure what is up with me not being able to.

I have open access to the internet (thru a firewall) can play other games just fine...just can't connect to this one.

Any help would be appreciated...*is there someway i can check to see if the update server is online too?

the server "RA" also known as the oficial server is currently online... you should be able to enter with no problem at all.

Regards.
