hmm

well, when something can't authenticate something, then it has to be 1 of a few things:

1. Your minecraft.net account isn't set up correctly (possibly didn't do the email verification.

2. You are trying to use your World of Minecraft account to access the World of Minecraft client (World of Minecraft uses your minecraft.net account to access World of Minecraft and other servers

or

3. Your computer for some reason or another has decided to block the World of Minecraft program...

well, i know its not the first two, and most likely not the third, it wont authenticate, it says that i either misspelled it or i have no servers to authenticate it, and further more, the mc classic on minecraft.net will not connect to any servers at all! not on any computer i get on

i know why

The reason this is happening is because minecraft.nets url changed to minecraft.net and not www.minecraft.net, but World of Minecraft stil has www.minecraft.net in its codeing and is logging you in in the wrong place.

hers some solutions

1: Use the direct connect box instead of login. It will always work as long as you input the right info in the right order. I suggest youtube videos to help you on that.

2: Download XWOM, a 3rd party alternative that is in the active topics section. Its new 1.7 version now fixes the whole changed heartbeat thing and ive been able to login for 3 days straight now. Its just like World of Minecraft except you walk a tad bit faster with hacks on. And there are more options like connecting to a local server with the new 1.7 version. I would suggest this solution its easy and all you have to do with it is drag the client(XWOM) into your folder that holds your World of Minecraft. Run it and tada it should work.
