Buddy of mine is trying to play Warband right after the patch. He had made a character before the patch, but never logged into c-rpg.net. When he goes to the site and tries to login using the front page with his character name or the 'update login' link, he gets "Invalid Login" on both.
So I told him to just make a new character and try to login after he plays for a couple of minutes, but when he tries to make a new character and join any of the cRPG servers he gets kicked immediately with a message; "Cannot create a character on this server, go to an official server."
So he's kinda stuck with a chicken before the egg problem. Can't login to his old char and can't make a new char to log in with.
