Problem is, while I would like to try some of your methods, a lot of my friends aren't playing, or I can't find them due to friend lists being unique to a character.

I'm gonna hold out and see what SE can do. I'm in the city of Bowling Green, and I'm not that far from Insight's office here. It would be nice if they had a feature to home point you or send you back to your starting city in an emergency...

If you can tell me how to do the proxy thing and walk me through it, I'll try it.
do you have a new LS on your alt? or did you nto bother playing at all really because your main was MIA?

if you can't find anyone you can shout maybe. have you logged into an alt and submitted GM ticket? they may have a creative way of accessing your main from an alt if they can trace back and see it tied to a parent account.

They probably can HP you. but you have to be logged in to call the GM. . .

As for the proxy, I've seen other people on the forums suggest hotspot shield. They were having a different error, but if it's truly a location issue this will help pinpoint that. it may reduce the number of 'hops' you need to do before connecting to the server, which may be enough to get your character logged in.
