Please fix the random game crashes when zoning, and otherwise.

I was stuck "waiting on zone server" trying to zone into the Enchanted Naiad Grotto.

And got stuck again "waiting on zone server" trying to zone into the Enchanted Dryad Grotto.

No issues for three days and this morning I got dropped to the character select while zoning into my Thurgadin house. I can not log back in yet because it keeps saying that I have a character in the game still.

I was finally able to log back in and... I was instantly dropped back to the character select screen again.

Called home to New Halas and was dropped to character select again.

Brand new error -
Today I got stuck "loading entity resources" when I clicked to zone into Graystone Yard in the revamped Qeynos.
I've never had this happen before.

Repeatedly being dropped to character select today doing the new Qeynos quests and zoning into the districts.

Well for the last two months things have been fine. Then all of a sudden with the last game update, Sleepers Tomb, we are getting random, instant game errors. The game locks solid and a windows popup window appears with the error message : Eq2 Client has stopped working. Windows is trying to find a solution.. I use Windows 7 if that matters.
Here is my log from yesterday's crashes :

* edited to note : This is happening to me and quite a few of our guild members as well as other people that have responded to me asking about it in the open world channels.

You're definetly not alone with this issue, I'm having all the crashes you're having the random crashes when going in prestige houses have gone less though. This new one is annoying the hell out of me though and a response to this is overdue by a week.

I went into my EQ2 cache folder - character subfolder - Antonia Bayle subfolder and deleted everything. I also went into my logincache folder and deleted everything. It may just be coincidence but I have not had a single error since I did that three days ago. Not sure if this is a fix but thougt I would post this for others to try.

I'm giving this a try and have done so as well.

I have not been dropped or had that error now since 9/27/12, and today is 10/11/12. I have played every day, for roughly the same amount of time, 5-6 hours a day after work. Everything seemed fine.. until today.
I have been dropped to character select twice already this morning. Once when logging in for the first time today and second just a few moments ago while doing my daily crafting quests.
/sigh

And it looks like the "waiting on zone server" issue is back once again now. I've had this happen to me twice so far today. Funny how I can go for weeks without any issues at all and all of a sudden the same old issues come back.

Got stuck waiting on zone server again.

Please list the specific zones my friends. I'm sending it to the Dev's.

All zones. It's a zoning issue, not a zone issue. The wierd thing is that when it happens you are instantly to character selesct. No loading, no waiting, just BAM your at character select screen and have to wait till your toon is out before you can log back in.

I will list the zone the next time that I get stuck/dropped. I had kind of stopped doing that because I was not sure if anyone at SOE was actually reading my thread but I've been using it to keep a running log of my errors. This way when I send in a /petition I can point them to this thread in my petition. I do have quite a few zones listed throughout the thread but those are older crashes.
Today when I got stuck waiting for the zone server ( above ) I was calling to my home city, New Halas.

I've been bumped back to character select three times this morning trying to log in inside of our guild hall ( Halas Hall, Order of Marr ). Yesterday I was bumped to character select when zoning into my house in Halas ( the starter house ). Once again these issues started again after yesterdays maintenance. Seems to happen a lot after any maintenance or patch is done for some reason.

Same issue here *BUT* it appears to only affect certain accounts.
I have three accounts, the problem NEVER happens on two of the accounts, but happens 3 or 4 times a day on my main account. This proves to me that the problem isn't at our end - if it was then the same thing would happen on all my 3 accounts.

Just happened again - bumped to character select this time when /camping to another alt using /camp altname.
