I have the issue too, but I got through after about 7 minutes of 'requesting character load' and another minute or two of load screen.
PC EU too
I have been getting longer and longer loadscreens when changing zones or characters today as well.

To add insult to injury, I just got kicked from the load screen for inactivity!!.

Yup, stuck on loading screen... PC EU Server.

Yes, same here... stuck in a never ending character load

4 random crashes in pvp this afternoon with hardly anyone around...
And now login problems ^^

Are we getting another maintenance tonight?

I'm on PC EU and just got hit with this.

I logged in just over an hour ago, picked up the login reward, looked at endeavours and collected mail, then logged out to character select and got kicked for inactivity because I was distracted. I logged back in, this time on a different character, did the King Boar jester's festival daily quest then went to Daggerfall Outlaws Refuge to launder and bank some stuff. All that was fine, no unusual loading screens or lag or anything.

Then I logged out to character select again and tried to switch to a 3rd character and got stuck on 'requesting character load', which also slowed my computer down so much it was impossible to do anything else. I thought it might be the character so I closed the game down (using the x in the corner in Windowed mode), restarted and tried a different one, but had the same problem. Restarted again just in case it helped and got stuck in a short queue to log in, then got the same problem when I tried to log into a character.

I'm giving up on it for now and will play something else instead.

Same plus 11 other people.
Any info on this

I am one if those guy paying for eso plus whereas I can play only one day every week. This playing day is today

Same here; PC EU.

Logged out of one char & got stuck whilst loading onto the next char, from the Character Screen.

Same .. no tickets club ...

Same here and GPU is going berserk.

based on the sound of this, it seems to be almost the exact same issue that happened on the NA server after the sharding occurred

the days after the sharding were marred by login failures and long load screens until they did the emergency maintenance last sat early morning

That was a failing Newtwork port though. It would be an extreme coincidence for an entirely different server 1000's of miles away to have the exact same hardware failure.

i dont remember the exact timing of the sharding, but there was a lot of issues before matt firors postmortem (march 25), and the issues were still occurring at least for another solid week after that which made them do another maintenance (april 2 at 1am) which is what actually fixed whatever the issue was

I bet this thread will be deleted.

I think an unscheduled maintenance is more likely to be honest.

Same here, it worked after many minutes ... but there's something not right.
