Ok, this is starting to get me annoyed. Randomly, when I am loading to a new map whether it be in a mission or just flying around, the loading screen hangs up. Then I have to restart the game. This began with patch. Do something please? Game is almost unplayable now.

    Same here. I'm getting disconnects and freezes during map loading screens ever since patch.

    *sighs*

    Same here. I can't play since the patch on Friday night 3/26. The loading screen freezes on me.

    Would be nice to get a dev response. I have always supported this game. not being able to enjoy myself due to server losing connection is where I draw the line.

    still happening to me too. at least I can get past the character list loading screen lately, but it's still hanging, often without even saying "server not responding"

    I'm getting either a very fast load or one that takes forever and eventually leads to the login screen again with a little box with red letters that say:
    Timeout while waiting for gameserver address.
    Press Support button for additional help.

    Logging in again works and returns to the character selection screen, which seems to work normally.

    But, trying to re-enter the game is a dice rolls vs. the loading bar leading to the slow train to disconnect.

    Load freeze started last night for me, and when I restart it hangs on the character retrieval lobby as well

    yep. and they're addressing pvp as a critical issue first instead of this. in fact i don't know if i have seen a mention from them on the forums about the connectivity problem which is affecting players both pvp and non-pvp, just the pvp area issues. maybe because those zones were butchering people's characters' stats, it's higher priority. I just wanted to make Captain today. :(

    Funny how they'd "prioritize" PvP over connectivity issues. I mean, what's the point of fixing PvP if they can't even get to the PvP maps to fight in the first place? Seems a bit backward to me...

    i really hope you're right, because it would mean they're working on this problem right now. just haven't seen the connection issue mentioned in conjunction with the pvp issue. haven't seen it mentioned by a GM at all.

    The worst part of this is my friend is here with me. I bragged about how fun this game is and that he should come over and try it out. Back to Warcraft he goes... :(

    If a dev could just acknowledge the problem, possibly here, that would be nice.

    I also can not get in. I can get past the character screen but i get stuck on loading... it started in th kahless expanse while moving between maps. i have been disconnected 3 times and now can not even get back in. I am also still waiting on a fix for my BG character who is currently at level -39 due to the pvp snafu.

    just guessing, *maybe* because pvp areas were severely altering characters by giving out ridiculously large amounts of NEGATIVE xp, lol. and people in the problem areas come out of them level -37 or something. so, maybe because it was damaging player's characters, while the conn issue doesn't damage them because we never get to do anything or go anywhere except loading screens lol. :D

    I gotta smile and giggle or else i'm gonna cry. sooo close to captain....

    I am able to log in fine. I can even play for a brief moment. Then, when loading into a defend mission or mission.. loading screen freezes up. I am able to go to my desktop and shut it down the manual way though.

    I have an old iPod I could donate. I'm sure it'd do better than the current servers.

    Another voice to the problems of transition screen hangs.

    I see the point in fixing the PvP maps killing characters... but not being able to play because we're on the "loading screen to nowhere" is just as frustrating.

    Edit: Incidentally, that problem seems to be a Sirius Block problem. My character in Regulus loaded up fine.... >.>

    edit2: I spoke too soon.... Damn it
