After installing the update, the server was lagging, but with the time now, players are stuck on the character list screen.
Previously, players could use the Unstuck Character Service to move their character to a safe location.
As the server issue is ongoing, players can neither switch realm nor unstuck character.
How To Fix Stuck On Character Retrieving List In WoW
As most users face the issue, the bug might be with the servers rather than the player’s side.
After hours of bugs, the developers have yet to make official announcements, but we might expect the patch fix or update soon.
Until the fix is released, players can try a few methods to resolve their issues independently, as a few players were able to fix their issues after following these.
Players can try disabling the add-ons from the game interface, which might cause conflict while interacting with the servers.
You can find a Cache subfolder while navigating the World of Warcraft folder. To avoid corrupting cache files, delete all the files in the cache folder.
Lastly, the most efficient way is to scan and repair your files using the Battle.net app, which can fix any corrupted or missing files.
