smolderforge 2.4.3, stuck on "Logging in to game sever"

[XDragox]

When i log on to my account it gets stuck on 'Logging on to game sever', then it goes back to realm selection and I click smolderforge and press okay, then it brings me back to the 'Logging on to game sever and keeps on doing that.

Server probably just crashed. Restarts take a long time when we haven't dumped deleted characters in a long time, which we haven't. I really need to do that soon, it contributes to lag too.
