They've already stated it is a widespread NA/EU issue, ALL of my characters are out except for the ones in tutorial starter area and Inn, if I were to leave that zone I would crash out and be unable to get back in.

This ISNT 3102 where your character is stuck somewhere, they do not need your names, and by thousands of people rushing to the forums to post you guys are just going to crash them and give SE more stuff to worry about.

Be patient and let them fix this. While letting others post on the forums about other issues they may be having, before those too get out of control.
