Going Linkdead When Creating Characters

[Mikraken23]

I can get to the character creation screen and all that, select my race, class, stats, type my name, and everything. Then when I try to enter the world, if the name is already taken, it lets me go back and change it like normal, but if the name is available, the screen goes black and tells me I went linkdead when it tries to enter the world. It takes me immediately back to the login screen, and continues to do this. The character remains uncreated.

I can still log in with any of my regular characters, this only consistently happens when I try to create characters. Please help!
