I was stuck for a while as well. Sometimes the game crashed by itself, and some times I just closed it to try a different method.
Restarted steam didn’t work, restarting computer didn’t work.
Tried on 4 different characters.
When I finally did get back into the character that intially had the problem, I got errorcode “Cannot connect to the server. Exiting the game. [G0x9-SPELPWP1P2NT]”.
I’m sorry you’re having these issues with the servers.
This and similar issues have been escalated to our devs, and they’re stated as general issues. These issues are currently being solved with a server restart and maintenance.
