When I am on the character screen, I pick my character and when it says connecting to the server, it takes forever. I've waited for almost 1 hour and it still doesn't get me in. I've tried restarting too. Please help.

serveral things could make that happen
1. your computer is like UBER slow (i dont think it is this one)
2. your firewall blocks trickster ( Could be )
3. There is a bug ( Can't be )
4. your computer does't acept the date from the tricksterfile ( i think it is this one)

Can't think of any other reason
hope this helps you.
If not then im wrong and i don't know what it is then.
