Crashing/Hanging while entering West Freeport

[soupy11]

I seem to be getting this recurring issue, isolated to the West Freeport zone, upon zoning in where I have this endless loading freeze. I have to close out and try to log back in to correct. When I do end up logging back in, it takes me to the character screen and when I try to enter on any character, it hangs again. This occurs for a period of about 10 minutes until finally when I get back to server select, it warns me that I have an active character logged in and that I need to wait. After I am allowed to log in it finally lets me load the toon that is in WFP and I can continue on.

This seemed like maybe corrupt files so I reinstalled the Titanium client. I am still having the same issue after a fresh install. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Can't seem to successfully load a character that's in WFP anymore, game just hangs, why only this zone?

Just noticed you mentioned you are able to eventually get in. I was never able to.

It may not be this and if it is you won’t like it.
I use to be on this one ISP and I would find a Ine I just couldn’t get to load.
Had to have people move me out.
The zone started to change after server resets.

I pinned it to some type of port blocking. Only fix is find a better isp.

I’m sure someone here knows more but it’s a bitch.
If it continues, check after server comes down. If you can zone in again then. Then expect one of the other 170 zones (how many are there?) to be next effected

I was going to start a thread about butcherblock on the same theme until I saw this one. A friend was experiencing same thing with a druid he ported into BB. He asked me to log in the guy on my pc at work, and I also crashed. Diff't pc, diff't ISP, same result. Oh, and it's google fiber, and my own router. no blocked ports whatsoever.

Sometimes zones are just down. <shrug> Totally classic experience.
