FFS, can't connect again. I hope this is due to Gandalf switching the server back and not an issue that I am going to encounter all game QQ

Turn done - kind of like crack, just want more

That sucks foodstamp, got a router? Done the whole reset/reboot thing? I wonder if it would help to port forward to your PC if you have a router and other machines.

I had trouble too. But I connected ok when I used the lnk file Gandalf provided at the website. I haven't rebooted the router. I know that will do weird things. One time it wouldn't let me on my aol mail. I could do everything else online.....just not aol. I chatted with an aol techie too. Then I thought just for the helluvit, I rebooted the router and the problem was gone. I may try that later.

Tried and true method of any techy geek, reboot everything, then diagnose (some rarer instances this gets you even more problems, but the symptoms are generally major enough to avoid it)

It seems to me that I can't connect the first time, but then connects easily if I close the game (I had it in windowed mode) and reconnect. This has happened the last 4 times I tried. Always the first time hangs but the second attempt immediately afterwards gets through.

Same here LoloMo, that's what works for me. I can't actually close the first window either, I have to kill the process. But then it always connects the second time.

Default 24 hours..

I also vote for a 24 hr cycle. Looks like most people are getting a turn done very quickly and then we're usually waiting for one person.

I cant think of anything I changed at my end to cause a problem. Other than that 72 hour thing. I will fix that now

It is working again. I have narrowed the issue down as a problem occurring somewhere along the line between my mouse and your server.

Now I can't get in. It is connecting to the server fine, I'm getting hung up on the 'Getting Game Info' part. And by hung up I mean can't Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Alt-Del out unless I reboot my comp.
