Howdy everyone, if you haven't noticed, the Minecraft authentication server is down. In other words, if you are already logged into the server, don't quit for any reason! You won't be able to log back in!

Looks like its single player tonight!
(Note, this is minecraft.net, the actual initial launcher log-in)

I thought it was just me, thanks for saying

It looks like Minecraft.net is at it again! The authentication server is down that is why some people are seeing the weird URL connection failure. I will be running my home server in OFFLINE mode for the time being so anyone can connect without going through minecraft.net

If you would like the IP just let me know where and ill send it to you.
Once again, my server will ONLY be up until the TWK server is responding.
