So I'll start this solution post off with a statement.
I was only able to find this solution because my 7 day suspension was not lifted in 7 days. If you were to actually lift the suspension on my main after the 7 days in which I was meant to be suspended for, and not longer, I would not be posting this. I post this now in hopes that you will actually lift my suspension like you should have about 30 minutes ago. (5:18 PST last Saturday is the timestamp on the email)
Your problem lies in graphical settings. I haven't exactly nailed the correlation between physics debris and crashes but I'm getting closer. The reason that safe mode lets people log in is because it resets all of the graphical settings to default (low). Turning them back up only reproduces this problem.
I have tried many times to change all of the settings up in chunks (to see which chunk produces this problem). In the end I have everything on maximum settings (except shadows on low), and Max Physics Debris Objects on 0. The game loads fine.
As soon as max physics debris objects is turned up to "max" or 200, the problem is seen and you cannot load. You must then load in safe mode to have the game force a graphical settings reset and try again. I have not yet found the sweet spot for debris objects but for now I will leave it at zero.
It should be noted that every graphical setting on default with a physics debris objects of 200 does not produce this problem.
In order to test whether or not your graphic settings have worked, you must fully exit the client and relaunch to produce the problem. Once you are in safe mode, I have not been able to produce the problem from logging out (to password prompt). Logging in from this after already being in game does not produce the problem.
Please feel free to discuss any troubleshooting you have done in this thread.
It seems as though the same set of circumstances can't always produce this problem, so it seems fairly touchy. The problem definitely lies within graphical settings somewhere, but I need help in determining exactly which one it is, should anyone try to help.

Run in safe mode, then change the graphics settings to your liking. Do not change Max Physics Debris Objects. Once you have run in safe mode you don't need to keep running in safe mode. You only need to run in safe mode once to reset the graphics to default.
Everything maxed out except for physics debris objects will also prevent you from logging in, so don't max out everything.
Things like shadows you can turn off, underwater view, etc. Just go through the graphics and turn off everything that doesn't necessarily "NEED" to be maxed, and you won't have this problem.

It defaults to zero whenever I set it to safe mode and log in.
I do have reason to suspect that physics debris is not the only culprit, although I am still fairly confident it is a graphical setting trigger.

Posted to BUG and hopefully they will look at it. Knowing what breaks it is the first step to repairing it.

not a real long post. Best fix until they repair it (if using high graphics) is
(1) log somewhere other than Enclave.
(2) use Graphic Quality 25% or less.
If you have an alt, you can place them other than Enclave, and when you get load bug you can use it to lower graphics until you have the Enclave character loaded, and then replace to high or whatever you were using.

I think each person just needs to investigate what level of "acceptable" graphics they wish to play with, and then adjust things on and off until they can log in fine and repeatedly with said settings. Some of the small things are easy to sacrifice without sacrificing actual quality/detail distance.
That will only fix it until you close the client. You will then have to start again in safe mode. I was trying to find a solution that did not involve resetting your graphics every time you launched the game.
Again with the insolence. Read the **** thread and stop being an idiot.
This doesn't work for everyone I don't think, but it works for me every time.
"Acceptable" to me is everything turned up to max. I still get playable framerates with everything turned up as high as it goes, so what needs to happen is this bug needs to be fixed.
Guess I'll try with my debris objects right down at zero, but something tells me there's another trigger for this bug, somewhere else in the graphics settings.
Edit: Logged back in with safe mode after using ctrl-alt-del to close the program, logged in with an alt, set all of my graphics settings to max except shadows (off), debris (zero), and underwater view (off). I tried to log in with my main, the character which would not load before, and I am experiencing the same bug. There's definitely a trigger somewhere else for me.
As I type this, it loaded. Took roughly 3 minutes after the bar filled to load in.
