Unable to log in - A Character with that name already Exist

Pretty much the title.
Was logged in, DC’ed and now I have the Character with that name already exist.
After ~20minutes, came back, was able to log back in, DC’ed 30secs later and once again, Character with that name already exist bug.

Other characters seem to be able to log in.

Please fix.

This is happening to me right now, I first got DCed about 30 minutes ago and was able to get back on like 10 minutes ago, but now I’m DCed again with this issue… Why is this happening. I am about to have mythic raid in like 30 minutes, Blizzard please get your act together

Also having this issue on this Priest on Dalaran server. Been locked out of the game only on this character (my main) for about a half hour. Guildies say they see my character logged on in the guild tab.

Happening to me as well. I was trying to buy stuff off the AH, it gave me an infinite loading circle, when I tried to get away it wouldn’t let me interact with anything or log out so I had to use the task manager to close the game and now I can’t get back in.

Would like to also point out that I too was using the AH. Was purchasing gems, got an infinite loop loading animation thing, walked away from the AH, and noticed I was stuck in a lag spike trying to cast spells but everyone around me looked normal walking around and people in trade chat were still talking. Then I alt F4’d. Now my priest has been stuck online and I can’t log on it for over a half hour now.

As an update, I was able to get back in but I’m warning everyone on my server to avoid the AH because it seems to be happening to everyone using the AH.

This is exactly what happened to me on US-Illidan. Got loading circle and people were moving and talking but I couldn’t interact or log out/exit game so I alt+F4ed

I came to see if anybody else was having this issue. Glad & sorry to see that I’m not the only one.

I was using the AH as well-- realised there was an issue, tried to reload & then tried to log out, ended up having to close WoW from the desktop &, yeah, that character already exists.

Same here. Infinite loop at the AH and nothing working. Alt-F4d out and can’t log back in on this toon. Currently hanging out on another toon

Seems to have resolved itself for me.
As an aside, I wasn’t using the AH when I had the issue, but I was filling a crafting order.
