I'm having the same problem, but I think it might be because we are smack bang in the middle of the weekly scheduled down time.
Yep, it was because of weekly maintainance. They seem to be back. Here is the server status page: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/ser...er_status.html for the US and the same for the EU http://eu.cityofheroes.com/en/news/server_status/

Just bought the game from steam, wanting to try it out... however, after patching, I can't connect to the login server, where can I find out if it's down? I've allowed the game through the firewall, but I'm afraid I'm mostly clueless about connections, firewalls, ports, and the like. My first attempt got me to the list of EU servers, but the game listed them all as 'down', yet the server status page lists them as 'Up' (except for the 'Test' server, which is 'unknown').
Am I a complete idiot or are there others having the same problem?
