connection issues

[ITH]

just today i started having trouble getting on the game. when i open the launcher the news window says could not connect. once in awhile i can get all the way to the log in screen but when i input my info it says could not connect to the auth server. every once in a while when i hit play game from the launcher it wont even come up at all.

I tried to even log onto aiononline.com and ncsoft.com to see if they said anything but i cannot even look at the website.. i dont know if they blocked japanese IP addresses.. but that would be retarded and i cant look at the news because i cant get on the site. i tried to repair the game multiple times with no luck. anyone have in information or know anything? thanks
