I discovered a strange error with DDO in the afternoon that has persisted.
I am able to log onto the character selection screen on Khyber without any problems. (In fact, the load in screen for the game is suspiciously fast.) However, once I select a character and begin to load all progress halts (no blue bar even appears) and connection to the server is lost. I am able to get on to a character on Khyber maybe 1/12 tries but I am always unable to join local chat channels, am missing several of my items (as though they have not loaded yet) and will experience the same disconnect from the server whenever I attempt to change zones.
I created a new character on Thelanis to see if this problem was unique to Khyber. While I am able to log on to my Thelanis character with slightly more regularity (around 1/4 tries) I still experience the disconnect in a loading screen after about a dozen zone changes.
I am aware of the other thread detailing problems with connecting to the server in the first place and I find the timing a little suspicious.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
