Game has become essentially unplayable

[canten101]

I know we've all seen the other posts about all the crashes / freezing / disconnections that started last week, but I have yet to see any official word on what is going on or how it is being addressed.

Its just such a strange problem, because once I actually get my character into the game, everything plays fine (at least until I try to zone). The problems only happen when trying to log in to the server / load the world / enter a new zone.

Does anyone behind the scenes have any idea what is the root cause of this?
