World Visit Stuck - can't go home

[JillyBean]

Aether world visit (maybe others?) is stuck and a bunch of us on Midgard can't return to home server. Can we get any word on this?

[Follow-up]Temporary Suspension of World Visit System due to Technical Difficulties (Apr. 13): Follow-up
We would like to share an update regarding the issue with Worlds being unavailable when using the World Visit System.

Investigation results have confirmed that the issue cannot be reproduced on the development team’s system environment and will require a maintenance on all Worlds to be performed in order to address the issue.
A fix is required to the server in charge of processing each World, and because it must be handled with extreme care and potential fixes must be validated first, we believe that the World Visit System must be suspended for several days.

While we understand that this may greatly inconvenience players currently visiting other Worlds, we kindly ask for your patience until the World Visit System resumes operation.

Updates will follow as additional information becomes available.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

There has to be some way to force characters to their servers while this gets fixed... right?

Probably -- but my translation of this is that likely something has gone haywire with permissions; which either allows or blocks passage to and from the worlds. So... they might let you back on to try it, only to be stuck, yet again... this time behind a loading screen. Bad place to play, really. EEK!
