My guild organized a level 1 gnome run this afternoon. I logged in fast no problem, created my gnome. There was a bunch of us waiting in the starting zone and suddenly many of us were kicked out. I haven't been able to log back in since.
I see you logged in right now so assume you realized you have not been banned. The DDoS attacks that we have been experiencing may result in players unable to connect at times unfortunately
