Had the same problem last night at about 11:45 pm EST. Then after 5 minutes sitting there I got in, only to have a sever error, kick me out and starting back from scratch. I went to bed, it was a hint that I needed sleep, hehe.
Basically if you get sucked into a server not responding, you're screwed as you won't be getting back on all that quickly. If you're already in game though, you're doing ok.
I'm having the same issue as well, I've been stuck at the retrieving character screen for 10 minutes now. I tried to relog to get past it but it doesn't work.
Same here i wish Cyptic would get their acts together and do something about its now been going on for two days strait now.. as soon as the server starts getting high population it starts glicting its NOT an coincident.
Definitely something wrong. My transition back to Sector Space from a mission resulted in being kicked to the login screen after a few minutes. Now I can't even log back in. ):
I initially got in AOK, but then trying to do one portion of a patrol mission, it went in to the neverending load until the game server timeout message appeared. Relogged and did several missions with no problems, then the long load screen happened and I had to use the Task Manager to exit. Upon relogging, became stuck at the retrieving list of characters screen just as it was doing last night. Oh well, it is a bright Spring day...perhaps some time in the real world while they sort this out? LOL
Must have the intern doing game patchs today huh..
No patch warnings.. flaky patchs .. each patch has a bigger game breaker then the next ... whats the deal ?? guys

Very similar experience here.
I was having major 'NOT RESPONDING' moments but I was able to wait them out, then I got disconnected, now I can't retrieve my charachter.
Ah well, I have a lovely modelling project to occupy me for a few hours.

Now I cant retrieve my characters...
Server went out last night, got totally merry with alcohol content and then realised he had been drinking cheap nasty stuff.
Server isn't feeling too good as a result.
Basically, dont change map if you want to stay online.
And, once again, the 'server status' isn't touched by the devs to show there are problems...so we have to ask one another on here.

Game has been live for 2 months.... C´mon ! its like this was released yesterday ! I think they are not testing their own fixes enough !

Then we can enjoy everything else..
I guess they are going for the record: Worse Server Stability for an MMO
