WotLK Help! I can't log in anymore

[MujoAndFata10]

Hello I've been playing on Blackrock for 2 days. Upon entering an arena match my game glitched. I was stuck on the load screen for about 4 minutes. I decided to reset and now I cannot log in. I'm stuck on "authenticating". Did I get banned? I didn't break any rules. I had the "deserter" penalty for leaving a battleground. I hope that is not a reason to get banned.

Its probably your connection with the server. Restart your computer just in case. Also if you alt+f4 during a game period you should know your character and account are not immediately logged out and that might be a reason for the slower login process too.
