Guild Wars 2

achwas.6190:

I actually need my mouse to survive creating a character so clicking for 40 minutes is not an option….. It’s just creepy how something as elemental as character creation can get broken

Just clicking once in 10 minutes is fine, simply to see if it goes through.

Update on the situation: I managed to create my character after pressing “next” for 40 minutes. This might work for others as well, be persistent.

Same here, “can’t access log-in server” (42:22:2:229:101) and “network error” (1010:6:6:459:101). Already existing characters accessible, no disconnects today.
EU servers, Win10, 64bit client, excellent internet connection.

Edit: will keep trying to finish the character.

Edit 2: so, after 40 minutes of errors, I got through and the intro cinematic started.
Keep trying, guys.

A feast of Mushroom Pizza (or other toppings of choice) and mugs of Bloodstone Coffee for the ANet team for working hard under the pressure! Reporting live from LA, the game is back online!

It was bugged for me as well until I first guested on a different server (no luck) and then hopped back to my own server – and got his attention alright.
