Okay, I've been trying to get this to work for the last few days and have spent easily over 10 hours researching this error, calling my ISP, uninstalling firewall, ect.. I have NO clue what the problem is, yet it is driving me INSANE! The screen pops up with the female wizard and then the second page pops up with the zombie pirates for a second, then the game closes and I get the Connection Failed: There was an error with this connection. What is the problem here? No anti-virus, latest drivers, latest directx, lastest everything. I even went out and bought a BRAND NEW router and called my ISP. I also talked to many other people in my area with the same ISP about the game, and they have no problems. I am very eager to play this game, and was even planning on becoming VIP, but before I continue to do that, I'd like to actually play the game first. I cannot even begin to explain how frusterating this is.. Any help at all is VERY appriciated! Thanks!
