yeah there are plenty of ways to overcome that problem.
1: Copy a server IP from gametracker and then while ingame go to console and type "open IP" replace IP with the server IP adress.
http://www.gametracker.com/search/ro2/2: Right click on steam icon and go to servers and select RO2 in the filter options.
3: Join a server via steamfriends or steamcommunity.
