How the heck do I get past this? When I'm lucky enough to get past the 2002/5006 errors, I just sit on the loading screen forever, and never actually zone in. Has anyone else encountered THIS and been able to get past it? What do I do?

It started when I accepted the first quest for 3.0. I went to the NPC and talked to him to enter the new area; I froze, got booted, and have been stuck in that exact spot ever since. I just sit on the loading screen forever.
