My character on NA PVP crashed in a freeport trying to cross a server line yesterday. I've been unable to join any other servers since because the game seems to be binding me to where that character crashed (and died in the ocean probably). I cannot join a new map tile or create a new character.
I made a character on EU PVE last night, and logged out. Whenever I try to log into EU PVE now, regardless of which map tile I choose, it logs me back in to where my character last was. This is probably intentional by design, but it also means anyone who has a character stuck in a freeport will be unable to play the game or choose a new map tile to create a new character or spawn at.
No one really knows why your servers are crashing, but I imagine this is going to amplify issues since you're forcing people to attempt to establish a network connection to a server that is either already blocking connections or unable to process connections. It also means your player population that started in freeports are essentially stuck, and bound to that freeport. Which perpetuates the issue even more since some of the population is unable to spread out throughout the map.
