Crash on log out

This is a problem that's been going on intermitantly for the last month-ish.

When I quit to character select or login screen, the timer will count down, then the game will freeze. I'm sitting there looking at the timer that says "0", and nothing happens.

Since I play in windowed mode, I've been able to close the window and reboot the game. When I do, the login screen invariably tells me that my account is still logged on.

Last night was extra special.
I was not able to get back into the game at all. I literally had to reboot my computer.
Then, when I finally got to rebooting the game, my account was still marked as "logged on".

I was not the only one to have this issue last night.
My Hubby and another friend who we were meeting in the game both had the same issue. We all ended up rebooting our systems just to get back into the game, when all we wanted to do was switch characters.

Any idea what's going on here?

Wow.... 11 hours later and no input whatsoever?

Did I do something horrendous enough to end up on everyone's ignore list?

I showered... honest!

"I showered... honest!"
and your fur is all fluffy now too... heh

I've had at times where I go to switch toons and the timer will end and nothing will happen for a few seconds, 45 maybe?, then it will usually just boot me back to the log in. Nothing requiring a reboot or restart of the game. Does it happen when the servers are under heavy loads, more busy times of the day?
