Are there any other English servers other than the Global ones? Cause new accounts on SotNW Global won't work, and I doubt they'll fix it anytime soon because they've had this problem since November.
There's sGE but... their version is apparently more bonkers(economy wise) than SotNW. Then again, I think they're 3.0 now so...meh
Yeah if you can't login with you G1 account, you have to add the game account to your G1 account. Sounds whack but its not that hard. You have to go to your profile then click add games, find SoTNW and press create new user and use that to login to SotNW.
