Unable to Load a Character after login

Am I the only one getting this issue?

This has been going on for more than a week.
I'm able to logon my account without issue... but once I try to load ANY of my characters it fails 99% of the time and just boots me to the login screen.
At first I thought maybe the instance/area I'm at is overcrowded, bit 99% of the time? really?

So next time I was able to load one, I left one of my characters in the wilderness not near any main city that might be an issue, but the results are just the same.
I can flawlessly and without issue login to my account, but good luck trying to load up a character.

I think in this past 7 days I was able to only to load a character 3-4 times obviously missing my daily rewards.
Is this how you will prevent dedicated players to NOT attain Murkmire next month?

Should I rather wait another 12 months and try playing ESO again once it out of beta allegedly ?

    Have you tried with no Addons Selected? Addons are not Accessed until character load so that is the first place to check.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I don't run any add-ons. I'm kinda a non-addon guy :D

    Even if thats the case, I think its bad design if addons can cause the engine ( which supposedly controls the execution of add-ons ), be controlled or blocking the engine from doing what its supposed to primarily do.

    I haven't been able to login past the char loading screen for the past 3 weeks. Maybe once in a thousand tries until I use a wayshrine. Can anyone tell me what's the point of patching Elder Scrolls Offline if you cant login to appreciate the fixes?

    I would think fixing the connection issues should be far more important. Why do we have to have network administration skills to MAYBE play this game??

    All my other online games works just fine.
    I can boot up World of Warcraft RIGHT NOW and it will work just fine.

    Playing an online game should JUST WORK... just like visiting google.com... JUST WORK.
    Its getting old to be an AFK Guild Master all the time for this reason or that reason.

    It’s apparently an issue with the Akamai servers zos uses, if you run a path ping or trace route you’ll see it drop at the Akamai servers.
    Too bad zos won’t acknowledge this or do anything about it. How can such a good game have such god awful support?

    Yea I noticed when tracing. I gave up trying to level my Argonian.
    I'm stuck trying to exit a delve with this one.

    If I'm lucky enough to get the char loaded after the 1000th attempt, then trying to exit, I just get booted right back to the login screen... then to add insult to injury the game tells me I'm still logged-in after trying to get back in.

    ESO is my goto game, so I'm stuck just working, because theres not really anything else I feel like playing. This is really BS... It feels like an endless beta... or lets say a beta thats getting worse by the day.

    Looking the quality of ESO versus TES/DOOM its unimaginable that these games are coming from the same group of companies.
