I've been playing this game for pretty close to 10 years, and this afternoon I was met with a popup that said the game was either in maintenance, is being blocked by a firewall, or I'm connecting with a banned IP. ~ None of those are true. ~ Thankfully. ~ I came to the forum and saw lots of people talking about Kannas and bans .. -- I hate Kanna even more now lol. ~ How hard could it possibly be to update that prompt to say something it actually knows to be true, instead of random arrows through the heart?

    "Banned IP" refers to situations such as region blocks, not a banned account; the message occurs when the game was explicitly denied a connection to the login server before the game was booted up fully (I.E. during maintenance, when blocked by a firewall, or when accessing the login servers from a banned IP, as it states). If your account is banned, you will receive a blue message on the world selection screen describing as such.

    There is currently an issue where skipping the video trailer before logging in results in a disconnection producing the former message. If you don't skip the video, you shouldn't get this message.
