Guild Wars 2

After loging out to change characters the game client returns the message “The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. […]” and refuses to go past the char selection screen.
First i thought its something affecting only one of my chars, but now that i attempted to go back on the original one, it turns out that i cant log in at all anymore, on none of my characters.

P.S: Port forwarded everything even though i know its not the issue, but alas it didnt change anything.

there are 3 other threads below. Looks like they are intermittent server issues
