every server I have tried to log into says

Connection lost!

Illegal name!

Any ideas on what might be happening there?

Happened to me too :(

I used World of Minecraft classic client 2.0.8 and I tried using both my username and my email (I have my account migrated to Mojang account). My email works, but I receive the "Illegal name!" messages when I try to join a server. :(

If you use your email to login to the client and select a server, don't login straight away. You need to look at the bottom where the game URL is and remove your email and replace it with your username!

You can always connect to

You can always connect to Opticraft or [aBlockz] servers and you shouldn't get 'illegal name' message there. I tested it and it works. There are a few other servers that work too.
