cannot connect with PvP only character

hi.

i get err005 whenever i try to log into my PvP only character. i have been playing for nine months, never had this issue. earlier today i played for 2 hours with no problem, then suddenly i can't connect.

because i am apparently retarded, i tried to delete the pvp character to remake it, and now cannot connect and will surely lose my reserved name.

all my PvE characters work just fine. port 6112 is forwarded (even tho i never forwarded it before and it always worked fine).

here's the rig:

athlon 64 4000+
msi k8n neo4 plat nforce 4 mobo
2gig corsair xms ram (dual channel mode)
geforce 7800gt
sb live!

lol nice rig..anyways don't worry exact same thing is happening for me and quite a few other people so its not you, its Anet.

I am having the same issue... no PVP chars can get on, but my PVE char can.

Just know that you are not alone.
