Who knows? Perhaps they are like Jeremy Clarkson: Fix everything with a hammer. Perhaps it's the engine? Maybe it's going sentient, and will eventually kill all our avatars for fun. More serious note: I really hope they fix this. I like CO, though not as much as CoH, but I certainly like it more than DCUO.
Having the exact same problem, I created a character, completed the tutorial, and cannot enter the game now. This is annoying. I was planning on coming here to seek refuge after the shutdown of CoH. This isn't a very good start :mad:
