This is now resolved.
This was due to an outage impacting Lotharia, and it has now been resolved.
We are investigating. What realm are you playing on? Lotharia?
We are still looking for more information on this issue. Any further detail about what happened before you got into this state might be helpful.
Our next stream is planned for the end of the month, and we'll lay out next steps. Right now we are focused on addressing reported bugs and getting the PTR back online to test the next major update.

Are you running any sort of program alongside the game? Is there any error code or message displayed?
We believe the issue has been resolved. Please let us know if you continue to see it.
