Same here, logged in, a few seconds later lag spike, and infinite loading screen. End task, logged back in, and a few seconds later the same. Happened 3 times in a row and it's not my ISP, I ran tests.

First off I love the game, thanks to everyone who works hard on it. Second, I loved the world events, they've been a lot of fun. But why waste all that effort creating them for just 1 week. I suggest repeating them annually on the anniversary of the events original release. That way people who missed them can enjoy them, and the rest of us can enjoy them again with our new characters. Also, as time goes on and you create new events, eventually you might be able to have 1/month since you're reusing old events. And I know some people have asked for more regular events, this way you can do that but with less effort. Peter
