When I try to login using the account that usually works, I get following message: Unable to connect to Login Server

This means that the game server is not online at the moment you try to login. Try again later.

If you really want to make sure, look for "host" to be equal some host (host=animesites.de) and "port" to be filled (port=6901) in config.xml. If that is the case and you still are not convinced it really is down, run "ping -c1 <host>" to check if the server's machine is up at or run "telnet <host> <port>" to also check if the server software is listening on the port you specified. Telnet should timeout after a while if it cannot connect to the specific port on the host. or (for the official server) just use the server link on the home page ;)
