So recently I decided to play Emps World again but I have ran into some client issues.

With the downloadable client:
Every attempt at logging in tells me that "Unable to reach Emps-World. Servers appear to be offline." I uninstalled and reinstalled Emps and Java with no luck, I only ever get this error message. I have run the game in soft hardware mode aswell.

With the webclient:
I click "Play in browser" before being taken to the game on my web browser. It stays on this page for about 2 seconds before opening a new tab with the java download page.

Please help me, i'm willing to try everything.

Try checking if your antivirus isn't blocking it.
