"Game Server Connection Failed" -- But I can Login Fine On Another Character

Basically what the thread-title says. Friend and I were doing the quest 'To Hunt the Hunters' (From Admiral T'aen, takes place in a sector in Psi Velorum with the name of Malaysia or whatever). We went to beam down to the planet, and we were booted from the game... And now we can't get in on those characters. :|

Any ideas?

    Same problem here, difference is I tried to enter a Ground PvP match. Disconnect. Now I cannot play on that character anymore. Happened 5 mins ago. Others work fine.

    Edit: I can get in now.

    Same problem here. Just doing hromi exploration missions - loading up the system and it crashed and now i cant log in. I can get online fine with my klingon.

    I am trying to work out one of these right now. Apparently, the server is booting players in some systems and will not release them to general space. So it will likely have to be a game fix. Not a big problem in the scheme of things, but pretty big when you loose your character to endless lost server connections.

    I would say send an in game bug report explaining the situation and the characters name that is stuck. Sounds like where ever they were got messed up. In other games, they usually just move the character to someplace else and it works again.

    its not a stuck issue...
    the server crashes as it tries to port you - your toon then gets "held" in the instnace until the server can resovle itself...

    this is getting very effin old.....effin BS

    Yeah, I get what you are saying, guess we are using "stuck" differently. The character was either loading in or was in a shard/zone/area that has for all intents and purposes fallen off the system for whatever reason. Depending on how it went down, they may have to manually make sure all the characters that got nailed are someplace where they can be accessed again.

    I have had it happen in a number of games. Now, not saying that this is the issue here or that this would fix it, with the problems they are having with the server tonight, anything we say is kind of a TRIBBLE shoot, however, it was just a suggestion that may or may not work.

    Just trying to put some use to the fact that I have been up for 22 hours and cannot get to sleep to save my life.

    Got it back, went to another system, fought a battle, went to another, and lost it. Definitely a shard transfer problem.
