This is the same situation as happened not too long ago, when Arispotle need a kick in the pants to start accepting connections again. You just sat there with a black (well, heavily darkened) screen, and the client didn't let you know, "Hey I can't connect. Want to try again, pick a new character, or close the game?"
A more graceful way to fail on connection problems after a sufficient length of time would be most welcomed.
