Stuck on 25% (Attempting EA.COM authorization)

I checked the FAQ and I don't think the login server is down, as someone else a few hours ago managed to connect and create a character. I also have no idea what information I'm supposed to login with, do I have to sign up for an EA account? Any information for this newbie would be appreciated! Many thanks.
 
Nope, you simply run the PDBootstrap and then sign in. (How, I don't know. Try entering your username and then a password)
 
What do I put on the login screen? Should it be my real EA account, a random one or just leave it as it is?
 
Yeah, no, the login server is still running. Make sure you get the latest client version from the 0.1.23 thread.
 
Doesn't the client update itself? I thought you said when its stuck at 25 percent it means the servers down.
 
No, the client doesn't update itself right now because I haven't released a new patch in a while. The patcher is still somewhat unstable.
 
Not really.
I'm perfectly aware of what people are complaining about. They're mainly related to two things: Authentication and encryption on city server being flakey. I've been trying to resolve this for a long time.
The other one is related to the city server being "down" from time to time. It isn't really down, but the heartbeat system I set up between login and city server really isn't working. For some inexplicable reason, the city server stops sending heartbeats to the login server after a while. I think it is a threading issue.
I've decided to drop this system altogether and set up a web service system instead. It should hopefully be much more reliable.
I think... either the login server hosts a service which the city server(s) call periodically, or the city servers host a service which the login server calls periodically. I haven't decided what's the best approach yet.
