After not playing the game for a few months, I decided to hop back on. I reset my desired character homes and re-downloaded the game. When I first logged on with a brand new character, I attempted to enter a portal, but seemed to permanently stuck on a loading screen with "failure to connect to map server" appearing. After pressing "retry", it was permanently stuck on loading. So then I restarted the game, picked the same new character, etc. Except for this time, when I only picked a character to enter the game, I was stuck with the same "failure to connect to map server" option, and then stuck on loading again for what seemed like eternity, and it just stayed there. And this has been happening with each attempt to start playing. I checked my firewall settings, internet connection, made sure the correct tab was open to play the game, and all of that. So I'm not sure what's going on.
The image I've posted is an example of what I'm seeing now every time I attempt to start up the opening map, and then it's alway stuck on "loading."
