Character not entering wolrd after selection

[mystra2006]

<p>Since a few days, I have a problems with some of my characters.</p><p>I select them in the character selection screen and then the game loads various ressources about zones and such. Then the loading bar block at the loading UI ressources and after a moment, I lose my connection and got back to server attempts...at this point my internet connection is down (though not on my box) and I have to reset it to get it start again. I do not have that problem with other games, only EQ2.</p><p>Does anyone have the same problem or can help me figure out how to correct it.</p><p>Thank you. </p>
