Game won't start up?

[MerchantPrince]

Hey everyone. I'm hoping this is the right place to put this. I've had a look for others with the same problem, but they all seem to have different answers and nothing that really helps me.

I've been playing DDO for probably 2 months now, I've had a few glitches and whatnot before, but well.. I was running a Tempest Spine raid, we'd filled up and were heading in. I'd had no lag problems so far that day. (about 3-4 days ago now) It was running fine, chat was working properly, but every time I got near a monster, I started lagging, once the party killed them my lag disappeared again. This happened numerous times.
So I decided to reboot, waited a few minutes then attempted to reconnect. The booter came up, and loaded a few things up, then stopped on 'opening main form' and sat there. I couldn't get in no matter how many times I rebooted, I thought perhaps my net capped, but it isn't. So I decided it must be DDO running an update. Waited a few days, same thing.

So today, I reinstalled it.. and exactly the same thing is happening. Although, sometimes it gets past that page and sits on "Downloading DDO Splash Screen" but never any further.

I was hoping someone else has successfully fixed this issue and would perhaps have a few ideas for me, I was getting into the game and now am quite bored, lol.

So yeah, any help or tips would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I am also a premium member, have bought a few map packs and all the account options such as classes / races. Not sure if that's relevant.
