The only thing helpful really was that I logged in fine to the housing ward. As soon as I tried porting to Gold Saucer, I got stuck in endless loading. So I restarted the client and while I can get it loading, it never stops loading. The same thing happened to my FC mates.

Edit: and even though there is nothing we can actually do, it would be nice if it was admitted, yes there is an issue. It's not our ISP it's the server.
