Gave this a go, got the same result- one login attempt gave me "Unable to connect" and the second attempt told me my account was locked. I haven't tried to log in since yesterday, so if it was a short term ban for too many attempted logins it should have expired some time ago.
I've tried literally everything suggested in the thread about connection errors, reinstalled multiple times, tried the copy/paste trick with the password, tried CyberGhost to change my location, all to no avail. The most frustrating thing is that according to my user page I have managed to log into the game, which is bullshit since I've never even broken through the login issue to see the server selection screen.
I'm gonna chalk this up to a lost cause, fed up with the lack of support or assistance with resolving my issue.
