What happened? I've returned after being away for a long while, what's going on with this new auth thing?
From what I gather it looks like there were people "pirating" DB software by being able to access the nav servers with out having proper keys or something. Not sure.
So they've done something to the NAV servers to force some sort of authentication, but its causing huge problems like a good percentage of people not being able to connect, or DB not being able to connect to Nav servers so it doesn't move.
Guys, ignoring the problem and reverting to the old system is not a good way to deal with this problem. Maybe as a temporary thing (if its an easy switch) is okay, but it does need to be changed inevitably, and no they aren't going to "raise prices". Even though some of you might have been willing to pay more, a higher base price tag means you scare away a lot of potential new customers, and thats terrible for a product that is mostly a buy once sort of thing.
