Ping too high can't connect

After a couple years away finally convinced the wife to try the game again.

We can’t even connect to servers because ping is too high.

Managed to make a character but can’t log back in, ping to high.

We know for a fact this is not an issue on our end.

This is a problem with G-Portal or Funcom servers & it needs to be addressed.

Connecting to a game should not be this difficult 8 years after launch.

The only way to try to jumpstart it is with direct connect, providing you know the actual/current server ip and port.
