Stuck on Downloading data screen after trying to login character

I don't know why this happens sometimes (its happened to me multiple times) but I've always found that if you come out of the game, run a VPN and temp login with that, it should fix the problem. Or, if you have access to another network in your premises, temporary switch to that and then try logging in.

So using a VPN works fine, if I swap over to non VPN it does not, I tried logging in with VPN, change zone, login again withouth VPN and then it works fine. But if I do zone back to Tahrongi canyon the same error message appears.

So the issue seems to be related to that zone or atleast the crag. And it is just that character on the account that is having this issue, albeit I cannot check with any of my alternative characters as they are all level ones.

THe game servers consist of multiple server machines in a cluster that handle the load from different groups of zones, so its possible one of them is just being derpy and the path it's taking to send the data to the client is different than it is for the other server nodes.

It's probably temporary, but hopefully when this thread is seen, they take a look.
