I am in the same boat and can’t understand why, on my end…I suppose the only answer would be something through the main server. I was playing in Wayfarer Foothills yesterday at around 5pm, everything was fine. My character suddenly froze and the game stopped responding. I shut it down, re-booted and found myself stuck in the loading screen (the little waypoint stuff underneath the title didn’t even show up). Each time I got to this point, it stopped responding and subsequently caused any other program I was working on (e.g. Microsoft Word) to hangup. Never had this issue before. I can play the other two characters on my account (including one IN wayfarer foothills) – it’s just my current one! I hope something is posted soon with somewhat of an explanation/suggestion, because I’m at a loss here…
