Erm, OK, but the metaserver is back online, isn't it? Or was the client just patched to not use the metaserver and always show the main and test servers?

Metaserver is still offline, the main-server was just added to the client.

That's not a bug. All that was done is to hardcode the main server's address into the client, as has been the case with the test server for an age. IOW we now bypass the metaserver altogether. This is not intended to be a long term solution, but right now the important thing is to get the main server easily connectable to without requiring people to add new shortcuts and so on which obviously was causing problems (to the extent that some players couldn't connect at all, and it just looks really bad to new players).

EDIT: Didn't see Alderan's reply.
