I actually found the fix for this, you have to go another server (for me I went NA PvE) which showed me spawning where I died in the PvP server. Once I respawned at the free port I went back to the PvP server and was able to spawn properly.

So the gist of what happened is, like everyone else who has been playing this game for a substantial bit of time I was suffering from the brutal effects of the age debuff. Myself and two other company mates were sailing into O14, as we entered the "server full" wall came up which then kicked us from the game presenting the "Server Full" message. Somewhere in the midst of the server restarts someone on a brig sunk our ramshackle sloop removing our bed and killing us. Now I can't join any server, I can't make a new character, can't do anything but try to connect to a server, get the server full message, restart the game and try again.....for 2 hours now. https://gyazo.com/4b91039e282d2076ea08d604f5e0834b

Yeah, suffer a penalty to every important stat to wait. Brilliant, suffer in the game for a flaw in game design. Super intelligent reaction to the issue. Also, oh no, I was called names. My pride is wounded, I'll certainly concede all of my points (which are actual points by the way and not just sad and pointless trolling) and hide away in my cave of comforting thoughts.

If by strong you mean the people who have the patience to spam rejoin Atlas for hours.

That's not a fix. Also, hard to relax when you're getting raided and you can't spawn in because you're server locked thanks to this Fountain of Youth issue. Not to mention, even if I -could- spawn in then I'd be hamstrung in combat versus anyone who isn't already 90 years old.

Hey guys, remember in the early days of the game how servers were overpopulated and you couldn't play? Well, here's a fun new mechanic we'd like to introduce where we can replicate that same fun activity. So literally now can't play on my server. Can't spawn to a new free port, the game has to be relaunched to even try so you just roll the dice hoping you can sneak into an open spot on a server full of 176 people.
