Problems and More Problems

Blizzard applied Patch 3.3.3a to fix problems with last Tuesday's Patch 3.3.3 and then tried again last night with more hot fixes.  As of this morning, most folks were still having trouble getting through the character loading screen which hangs and freezes your keyboard.  Details of what has been fixed are here.

Some folks are recommending deleting your addons or disabling them (or emptying your cache) but the problem does seem to be on Blizzard's end, not at the user's, so this may be a lot of work that won't help you get into the game.
