Stuck in log-in screen; looking for a solution.

Hello. This is an issue that presented to me about a few days ago where I've tried to log in successfully but as soon as the message "Retrieving character list..." pops in, it kicks me out immediately back to the log in screen, with the message "You have been disconnected from the server".

My question: is the server down and therefore there's no way for me to log in or is it just me? And if it's the latter, is there any way that I can fix this? If so, then I wouldn't mind a response to this with the solution.

Thank you for reading.

I had the same problem. I went into my system settings, then network, and enabled "optimize network for speed" and for some reason I could log in. Not sure if it will help you, but its worth a shot.

I just tested this out and it has worked just fine. Thank you for the assist!

You are welcome! Glad it worked
