ok, well if it did go through, then sometimes just clicking the link does not actually make it work even though it says its verified.
this is because sometimes when the link is just clicked from the email, not the whole link is transfered into the web browser and it says it gets verified, when in fact it doesn't. known bug, if you will.
it's best to copy the whole link (make sure to get it all if it spans multiple lines in the email) and paste it into the web browser and try it that way.
if after that it still doesn't work, it could be somehow related to it not updating the database correctly since things with email verification do seem screwy atm, or you simply aren't typing it in right into the game client.
if you check the remember password option on the game client and then type in the password, and then push the connect button, if it doesn't let you in, you can close the game client, go to the folder where the game client is installed, and look for a xml file that will actually have what you typed in for the password saved in it. i forget what the name of that xml file is atm. you can open that up with like notepad or something and make sure what is saved in there is what it should be.
