Spasmodic loading problems

I'm currently experiencing some weird loading problems ever since I returned to the game a month ago.

The main problem is that the game outright refuses to load into a new map sometimes; no matter now long I wait for. Basically, the loading bar just sits idle at the beginning mocking me and I have the only option of closing the window and restarting Guild Wars due to the fact that I cannot even end process on task manger to attempt a reconnect.

This is ridiculously frustrating at times especially for PvP so I am just wondering if anyone has faced this problem before, and if so, how did you alleviate the problem?

I have that problem very rarely. My solution: Restart the game, only takes a minute. Have never happened to me during pvp, but then again I don't pvp much.
