Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I'm new here and feeling a little discouraged =/ I was so in love for the 30mins I got to play last night, ever since then I've been faced with being stuck at a realm selection list. I saw someone else with a similar problem but there was no replies or anything. I am very frustrated with this I've spent the last 2 hours trying to fix this.

Is the server down?
Is my game client FKT?
TIRED OF BEING STUCK AT "LOGGING INTO GAMESERVER" behind the realm selection list.

You can try modifying your realmlist.wtf to

set realmlist login2.nostalrius.org

I've never had the issue, but i've heard from others that this can fix it. If that doesn't fix it, try setting it back to normal.

set realmlist login.nostalrius.org

Are you sure you are logging on to Nostalrius Begin and not one of the Test servers?

You picked a great time to start playing; the server was under heavy attack the past few days. The admins made an announcement about it and said it should be fixed now, but you may have to login several times to get it to "go through" as part of the new security measures.
