I have to say, this really is frustrating, especially after deciding to register for a full acount. I've played many MMOs and have never had any connection issues whatsoever.

Too bad, was looking forward to experiencing the game

By any chance does anyone think this reintroduction of the problem might have to do with the update. I'm skeptical though, since for a few hours I was fine after the download.

The port and server IP changes from patch to patch. Plus the game client will have a different signature.
If you have the whole UDP range triggered then chances are it is your firewall that is blocking things. Try removing and re-allowing client_ryzom_rd.exe in your firewall.
And definitely update your router firmware if one is available. I have had many folks come in saying they had done the port triggering but still had the 'please wait...' because they did not apply an available firmware update. 90% of them were fixed as soon as the firmware was updated and they redid the triggering.
