Character Locked Out

I completed a world even in Stormheim on my level 21 remix char. When completed, it should have rolled me to level 22 and with appropraite loot/gold. Instead, character could not interact with world. I seem to be seeing this on other threads but also want to voice a separate thread so that mods can see trending bugs.
Regardless, I had to force-close my game and now my remix character is locked and when I try to re-log, I get the error that the character name is already in use.
For now, seems like my char is locked to me. Will retry later but multiple restarts to computer and game/launcher has not released the character.
So far, super disappointed with this event compared to MoP Remix.

Log on to another character one from retail area for a min or so then try to log onto the character that you want to be on for remix…

Thanks - this released the char.

Problem is the world quest/event “The Brood of Nithogg” did not give me ANY credit. I’d completed it but the game locked up when I should have leveled and been rewarded. T_T

Same problem. Logged onto my retail char, did Coren Daily run. Still locked out on Legion char.

edit: it worked, just took longer than usual.

I had it happen to me a bit ago in game and what I do …even in retail it works too…and your welcome …

Some times it takes a bit of time for the game to see the character is not really log in now…

Check your Warband to see if they have a weapon. If not, the character is still in the game and locked. Once you see the weapon, it’s back.

No that is not the issue its called Lag lag lag…it causes a character to remain stuck if you have to do like a Alt F4 cause the game is locked up or you get huge lag issue…simple way to fix it …is too log onto another character on your bnet for a few mins then try to log onto one that is saying its already in game…
