and im not sure what the problem is

server down? ...

How long have you been waiting? After you crash it takes a while for the server to realize that you aren't playing anymore. (This could even be forever if you crashed in character selection screen!) If you still can't log in after 10-15 minutes (or if you were in character selection) the best way to fix it is asking on IRC if someone can check your account status.

Btw if you look at the time the statistics on the HP were last updated this might be a hint that Elwin is correct...although it says Online on top. (This can be caused by the update process crashing at the same time as the server.)

well the server was up when i checked several times.

although i tried multiple times to log in, i did not wait 10-15 minutes, ill try again shortly, thank you muchly.
