I am also on the Darkhaven server and tried guesting to Yak’s Bend earlier with no luck. I just tried Ehmry Bay and nothing there for me.

Try this:

Go to “AppData/Roaming/Guild Wars 2” and delete the Local.dat file.

A couple of days ago, whenever I tried to log in to an existing character the game would crash out. Running the repair, deleting the Gw2.dat in the game directory and re-downloading, deleting it and copying it from another machine that could log in fine, and also re-installing the client all did not work. But once I deleted that file and allowed the client to re-create it, I could load any character fine.

I cannot say this is what will fix it for you, but it’s something to try.

Unfortunately, this did not work for me. I deleted the Local.dat file under the AppData folder, and I’m still getting a black screen whenever I try to create a character. I bought a character slot today, specifically to make a new character. Let alone the people who just bought the full game!

It would be nice if we could hear something from ArenaNet about this, considering it’s been happening (and reported) for at least 12 hours.
