Got stuck on zoning from lost caves back to monster island and was forced to shut down and restart game. Now I can't get back on :/ Just hangs on Retrieveing list of characters..

Yea, it's down... I got it after a couple failed attempts to log in.

I just decided to log on after their maintance and it patched it so I figure I would log on and play a little. But now I too am stuck on retrieving list of characters.

Also getting stuck at "Retrieving list of characters..." when trying to log in. Last logged out from MC before the patch. Possibly just some temporary trouble with the servers..?

Same here. I got stuck first when i tried to enter argent mine at the loading screen. after forcefully terminating CO i can't get beyond retrieving the character list.

Just adding my note to the problem. The server response times and loading times were already a bit shakey (granted i'm in Australia) and since this patch / maintenance it's been trashed. I was in for a while, but when I tried to zone out of teh Powerhouse into the map, the system hung. Killing the client and restarting is now stuck on Retreiving list of characters. Looks like the intern struck again!

tried zoning into the powerhouse was forced to close CO when it wouldnt load and now am also getting that message and unable to log in

I'm having this problem as well, but is patch day, so as long as it's up by this afternoon that's all well and good.

Well, again, just downloaded and installed another patch, and again, it's bugged.....getting used to this :)

yeah Im stuck too. wooppee.
