a friend (in the same household) and i have been unable to connect to spiral knights for 3 days, getting "unable to connect to the server" error at start-up. have reinstalled, verified java version, updated video drivers and added exceptions to firewall. appears servers are up as there are no recent posts about this from anyone else.
