I can only confirm this for the Alliance garrison in Shadowmoon Valley. Multiple characters on my account, and happened to guild member as well.
After entering the garrison via hearth or flying, attempting to fly or walk back out will put my character into a phased version of Draenor. There are no NPCs or interactable objects, and I can fly out over the ocean without getting fatigued. Eventually I will be disconnected. When I come back, I will be either in my garrison, at the edge of my garrison, or at the spot I disconnected.
Of those three, the only good one is the edge of the garrison. I can see NPCs again and may leave freely. If I am at the spot I disconnected, I will still be in a bad phase. If I am inside my garrison, leaving will give me a bad phase again.
Sometimes, my character will be stuck online and I must log into a different character. Or if I touch deep water, my character will be instantly disconnected, and will repeatedly do so when I try to log back in.
Staying off the character for 30 mins or so usually fixes the connection issues, but not the phasing ones.

This has been happening to me as well. I picked up the garrison daily to go kill an orc in Spires of Arak. I flew to where he is to be found and there was nothing there. I tried to /logoff but the 20 second timer did not show up like it should. I next got the disconnected screen and when I logged back in I was JUST OUTSIDE OF MY GARRISON!
After completing the daily on the 2nd try, I went to my shipyard to send out my fleet on some missions but the mission table was missing as was any of the NPCs, including the vendor for the ship equipment for the missions. I tried to logout again after waiting 2 minutes for the NPCs and shipyard mission table to appear but no luck.
Iāve also noticed that when I mail items to my alts it sometimes takes over 30 seconds before the mail gets sent. I havenāt really timed it because the time seems to vary. Sometimes the mail goes out as soon as I hit the send button, other times there is no response to my clicking āsendā for 30+ seconds. This mail lag has been going on for several weeks now.

Update from me. After another d/c or 2, I was able to use the shipyard. However, trying to use the portal to Ashran in the tower by the mine failed. Made the magic āpoofā sound and light show around my character, but I was still in front of the portal in the tower. Tried to use the Dalaran hearthstone, saw the same sound & light show, still in the garrison. Triggered the cooldown on the hearthstone. Used alt+F4 to leave the game so I can try rebooting everything in case someone in Tech Support wants to know if I ātried turning it off and back on againā.

Having the same problems. It is like my character is āstuckā in a NPC-less world & Iām the only one there. Then I get kicked off & have trouble getting back in the game. Most times it gives me an error of āthere already being a character of that nameā. I have completely shut down the game & blizzard launcher, then tried again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnāt. The only thing that seems to work is using the Unstick my character through the support, it is just a pain & I believe there is also a wait time before blizzard will allow you to use it again.
Does anyone know if this is a Game-wide issue or if it is just certain servers? I am having this issue on Garrosh.
Thanks,
Rain

Iām having a somewhat related problem. I havenāt tried moving in and out of the garrison within Draenor but I have, on four different alts, tried to port out and gotten stuck in the loading screen at about 90%. after waiting a long time, I have to hit the āxā to get out of it but when I try to log back in it tells me āA character by that name already existsā so I have to log in on another character, exit game, log back in and THEN I can log into the frozen alt. On three alts I used āWrap of Unityā which is supposed to port me to the capital city, and the fourth one (a mage) I tried to teleport to Stormwind. Same exact problem, all three.
edited because I mistakenly ātried one more timeā and got same result. ok. iām slow to learn my lesson.

Put in a separate ticket. The phasing lag is so bad (i.e., 4 - 5 minutes before I have control or the system just logs me out with error wow51900319 , which is what usually happens) going out of or into my garrison that I have to kill the Warcraft process and log back in. There are times, even after I force the client to close or when Blizzard closes it for me (wow51900319) that when I attempt to log back in with the same character I get the ācharacter is already in the gameā message. I can log in with another character on that account and notice after about 3 or 4 minutes my original character eventually logs off (guild msg). This is not normal folks. For me, this all started after the last maintenance cycle.
Update: questing elsewhere until this is fixed.

Having the same thing. While this may have to do with phasing Iāve seen this kind of behavior before with the game getting broken but not kicking the player for whatever reason. Basically it doesnāt load any additional NPCs, you canāt interact, canāt even quit normally. Iād suspect some issue with some portion of the game freezing up and becoming unresponsive but other mechanisms to detect that and kick the player or kill the game not kicking in.

Same issue here, When in group canāt visit leaderās garrison without the game locking out then d/c ing and coming back with the error code wow51900319. Try logging back in gives me, :āCharacter already Existsā. Then have to wait 15 minutes for the system to release my toon so I can log back in. All of the previous comments in this thread are and continue to happen.

Same stuff. Has been going on for the last two days for me. Keep getting told I canāt log in because Iām already there. Have to wait till the log falls off to try and re-enter the world.

I know it is not common to say it, but thank you, Bliz, for fixing the phasing issue. It is now no longer a problem, at least for me.
I just got this Error trying to enter Shadowmoon Valley. Every Time I try to relog into this char it kicks me out of the game and gives me this error.
