Works for me every time, and its like they lock you out due to the server being full, but they should do it before you get stuck on a loading screen, rather than having to exit the game entirely. According to getting any help, well, good luck. I havnt held my breath, and if you read whats going on with them, you shouldn't either.
Im just going to try and get 15k alliance points, and choose a different home campaign.
This is a minor issue comparing to everything else they got to fix though. ZeniMax just tried too much too fast and now they are about to crash and burn. The only time company doesn't post updates and continues to stay silent is when they absolutely have no idea what to do.

Every aspect of the game I try, I continue to come across something making it increasingly difficult to achieve or enjoy. It baffles me that they expect people to keep paying a sub fee with this extremely unfinished product.
They knew about these issues during beta - no fixes for the important ones. They knew going live would bring more issues. They still went live.
I have been keeping a list of bugs and issues I come across. There are 74 since starting my character and leveling to VR1 right now. When I run into an issue I try a different approach to avoid it being too much of a road block, but that just leads me to more issues in a different part of the game.
Trying PvP at VR1 was always my plan, but I can't even load a match and I have to use a Microsoft out command (alt+f4) as so many others have just to get out of the load screen bug. Which proves the concerns are based around in-completed programming.
There are many arguments and so many of those are from others saying things like "stop bitching its still a good game" and "they will fix this eventually" and "relogging usually helps 70% of issues." fair arguments. The game (bar the issues) is a quality title. That doesn't change the fact that this game is VERY far from a finished product. Maybe 6-10 months of solid work so the programmers can get a handle on what seems to be a lot of very small issues, but from a programmer's perspective can take a solid amount of time to figure out.
While the game is live I'm assuming it will take a lot longer and a lot of issues will remain unresolved, due to the time they will now need to have to deal with live customers and constant support.
Prediction: The MMO 'honeymoon' phase will keep customers for a few months, while people like me will keep pushing the topic - as it's important for Bethesda / ZOS to feel pressured about the way their customers are feeling. This won't last, however and you can't really say it's a credible business 'buying time' and putting several years of hard work with a very large team along with developer reputation on the line. People will simply stop paying. Because their question will remain "what are we paying for if we aren't receiving quality?"
Gamers have a reputation of jumping ship when they don't believe they get a product they are paying for. They also have a reputation for leaving in large quantities. Right now, how this is dealt with will really determine whether this game makes it or not.
In Skyrim it was funny when corpses would slide on the ground and your mount would go flying into the abyss. But this isn't a simple campaign based single player experience. This is the real deal and in an MMO these issues can't stay in a title that currently is one of the most (if not the most) expensive MMOs out there, in a world where MMOs are considered a dime a dozen and a large portion of those (even a lot of quality titles) are F2P - without the issues.
Yes I'm ranting. Yes I'm annoyed. But more importantly I need people to jump on board with me and continue to push the developers to man up, take some responsibility for their shady business dealings and lack of ownership for just this.
I need people to click agree, repost, post your own annoyance, start new threads and basically spread word and become heard. This is the best way to get things fixed. When customers threaten how lucrative their business is, they either listen or become another corpse in the tally of fallen MMO titles.
It's up to us.
