Game won't start
 

I get to the character select screen fine. Every time I click "enter world" it just freezes up. What am I missing?

how long did you wait for it to unfreeze
even with a modestly responsive system it can take 30 seconds to 100% load from the character screen
you will want to check your install to see if its patched to v53
have you made a character before?

I reset my router and modem after finding an older post. Works like a charm now.
