Error: Failed to join any instances

I opened the way to the Cathedral of Bones but when I try to enter I keep getting this message. I tried going back to the town and come back but I still have the same issue.

I also tried going back to the login screen but still the same issue. I will try to wait 15 minutes so that the instance is cleared and try again.

Edit: waited 15 minutes but now I can not access River Crossing, have the same message. I will try to exit the game and try again.

What is going on? Now I cannot access any waypoints. I will try to log on with another character.

Same issue with any of my other characters, so basically I can't play anymore until this is fixed :(

Can't create any new character either.

Edit2: Thanks for the poster for the suggestion, I am able to play on Europe realm.

Yeah.. first started with game freezing up for me then d/c while in town.. now cant make instance on EU or USA!

Having the same issue, logged in today, tried to go to Crossroads in Act 2, error:failure to join any instances and can't get other characters to load.

I did the same thing as cargila and had the same result. Logged into europe and it worked fine

I was having this problem earlier, I switched from the American gateway to the European and the problem has gone away for now.

The same is happening with me. Is there some sort of data we can provide to help the devs solve this bug?

I couildnt go into any instances at all.

Hi,

I got this message and possibly a logout crash but it probably wasn't the server's fault.

I was trying out doing runs using the Crossroads waypoint because just north of it there's usually a whole bunch of rares and a unique bandit.

Figured I could exploit this area by doing runs to and from the waypoint, selling loot in town and opening new instances.

I decided to stretch it a little (opened about 7-8 instances) and managed to get myself logged out after a "failed to join any instance" message.

The message occured while I was trying to get from Crossroads back to town. Had a whole bunch of angry monkeys on my tail, so I didn't take a screenshot. The message appeared and the aforementioned monkeys were now happily smacking me. The waypoint didn't work.

I ran around a bit and a few sconds later the waypoint worked...kinda. I was booted to the login screen.

Perhaps there should be a cap to the number of instances one player can create.

1. Reduce server load.

2. Prevent exploitative runs.

3. Ensure that waypoints work when we really need them to. There should be a warning if there is a risk that area transitions won't work if, for example, too many active instances are tied to a player.

Edit: I describe the run in more detail here
