That has to be the nicest 'we're fixing it' message I've seen in a game.

Also, kudos to whoever wrote that - awesome to give extra information about what is being done!

@Drustin Yep, I think it's just a matter of waiting to see if this particular load issue can be fixed.

No big deal, this is what stress testing is for. As far as first impressions go, I enjoyed the idea of 'backgrounds' at the character selection - and am looking forward to checking things out if the servers are rebooted.

Thanks to the team for making this a public test!

Did you have any luck getting in?

I'm having the same issue - I created a new character (ID: 2469) and clicked 'Play' from the lobby, the 'Connecting to Server' bar got about 40% of the way then I got kicked back to lobby. Couldn't try logging in again because it said my character was already logged in.

Tried shutting down the game and restarting, same issue. I tried making a new character (ID: 2498) but couldn't play that one because the first character was still logged in.

Tried deleting the first character (ID:2469) and I was able to click Play on the remaining char, but again the 'Connecting to Server' bar got about 40% of the way and then I got kicked back to the character lobby. Now it says I can't play the remaining char (ID:2498) because "Login Failed: Your character with ID 2498 is already logged in the world. If you've logged out recently, you may have to wait for it to be removed from the world." Also can't delete because you can't delete a character currently logged in.

Again restarted the client, but still can't delete ID: 2498. I'll keep retrying for a while myself!
