Same... can't connect, starting to get frustrated because people who pay a premium for server connectivity seem to get the worst customer experience.

and beyond this bug/downtime... Shouldn't these patches be validated and servers patched first prior to the game update being released and be backwards compatible to older clients so we don't have to be denied entry to our realms while the servers/clients get to the same level?

Same, my realm stopped working sometime on Sunday 9/21 as far as I can tell.
