Hey Killah,
Not sure if this is a proper fix, but I managed to get my bot online today using netstat to find out what the new auth server is.
I opened up \conf\ServerList.php and just edited the line
$server_list['aoc']['US'] = array('server'=>'aoc-us-um.live.ageofconan.com', 'port'=>7010);
to
$server_list['aoc']['US'] = array('server'=>'dm09-nj4.ageofconan.com', 'port'=>7010);
I'm guessing they just need to update dns crap to point to the new server farm?
Cheers,
Sal
