I downloaded the game like 3 days ago. I have been unable to play since, because when I press START on the launcher, the game starts with an immediate error "connection failed". I have done the version check many many times, but it has not been very helpful.
Connection failed when trying to start the game

Your post indicates you are having intermediate problems with launching client. Our launcher is heavily customized, It is very diligent as it performs many critical functions that invokes proper playing condition.
The very first thing you should do is try by doing a 'Version Check' this will ensure your launcher and client are the latest available offering, as older ones may not function properly or do not have capabilities to play.
1. Locate PirateKingOnlineLauncher.exe and execute as Administrator. Right-Click on PirateKingOnlineLauncher.exe and click "Run as Administrator". PirateKingOnlineLauncher.exe is located in main client folder, or you may have a short cut to PirateKingOnlineLauncher.exe on desktop.
2. After the client launcher is launched, Begin Version Check by clicking on button at top left corner, Where a drop menu will appear with choice of "Version Check" in the top of list.
3. The launcher will automatically quickly scan your client files and begin to download any missing or malformed client files.
At this point, If you are still unable to play, It means that you have a service or program that is actively blocking the connection such as firewall or anti-virus.
1. Unfortunately because there is too many anti-virus and firewall solutions there is no easy way of turning them off, You will need to contact your antivirus/firewall company to ask them how to remove/stop.
2. In very rare condition, You may have a ISP that does internet filtering which means you most likely cannot play because ISP do not remove or allow you to circumvent this filtering.

I have a similar issue, i was IN the game playing normally then something like lag kicked me. so i tryed to log in aging and i couldnt, tryed for 2 hours and nothing just reinstalled the whole game and applied the patch and nothing.
As i said i was playing normally and when i try to enter and press the START button from the laucher, lauches the game but after some time (like the time out error 0x0) it says "Coneection failed" not even ask my username or password.
It has to be something with my connection to the server, not the client nor my internet.
if i find something usefull ill post a reply or somthing like that to the fix (if i can fix it)
