Game not launching, now.

Does it happen when you GET to the server selection screen, or when you actually select a server?
If the latter, does it act differently when you select a different server?
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Happens when I select from the Server Selection screen following immediate logging into game. I try to choose any server and then...
I can't get the game to launch at all. I haven't logged on in a few months, so when I go through all the patching, I get an error that I need to click on "Repair" to get the game to work. "Repair does nothing, and all I get is errors. I get a LONG log automatically placed onto my computer. Below is a small section of it.

I'd appreciate any help I can get. I've played CoH for 8 years as of next Friday, and I wanted to continue to play until the lights are turned off.
Please try my arcs:
Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)
Doesn't sound encouraging. Will have to do some testing when I get home from work, but you seem to be unable to connect to the character server for some reason.

Hey folks,
In less than 24 hours from my last log-in, COH will not let me log into any servers. I get "lagged-out", so my Account Name and PW are accepted (Haven't changed), but, when I get to server selection screen that's when I "lose" connection.
The only thing I have done differently within the past 24 hours is changed my internet connection from directly connecting to the wall and back to my router (which has consistently been connected to COH for the past year).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
