If you can’t get past map loading try this below, it worked for me and several others!
Don’t know if it’s related or a complete fluke, I was about to post “me too” on this problem- all my characters never got past loading screen but a friend suggested I do a repair from this guide:
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28148006-Repairing-the-Game-Client
Took about 10 minutes and then I logged in and everything’s great – hopped multiple characters, doing things, changing zones
Suspicious post is suspicious.
I tried it and it didn’t work. It did come up and say repairing, took about ten minutes but still dies loading the zone.
