Joining five games in 15 minutes is already the maximum. As a reference, you shouldn't join or create more than 15-20 games per hour. Of course this always varies, but it is one guideline.

If you have a dynamic IP, take a look at these:

Realm Down & Temp Ban Reversal Guide

If you tun a moddem , Try unplugging it for an hour and then going back on , If not a moddem , Try one of the links posted above.
