Possible fix for Loading Bug
I made the same observation.
In fact I never got bugged so far unless I looked at the score board.
I never look at the scoreboard (the only score that matters is the one easily visible at the top of the screen) and I get stuck in loading on Forest of Niflhel (only) anytime that I die there.
BLTP broken and SPVP broken.
I suppose they don’t really want people playing.
