I worry such a thing will happen to me since that means a good half hour or so at least fighting to get back in.
You just described my afternoon yesterday.
My game client froze up during Dusk Vigil (thanks, Nvidia), and it took me almost an hour to get logged back in, thanks to our friend the Lobby. Luckily, I was in Mumble with one of the party members and told them to find a replacement for me.
And that was the good part.
Had another hiccup later in the evening that forced me to close the game client, and that was the end of my day playing. I spent about four hours trying over and over to log back in, trying the Data Center Swap trick here and there, and no avail. I had to give up because work started early today, and just shrugged and went to bed.
I really, really like this expansion; it's been a blast to play (I had much better luck Friday, because I got in early and had no disconnect issues), and have found eight things I loved for every tiny little complaint. And yeah, I've seen much worse launches, but I noticed in my four-hour attempt to get in that I had NO trouble connecting to any of the other data servers. It was only Aether. The response I've seen from SE on the matter was less than encouraging.
So, kudos to SE's designers for making a fine expansion. To the people who handle the data centers, though - a pox on your sorry little arses.
