Bug type:
Blinking screen after character change

Brief bug summary:
When we click on the change character, it will blink, bring us to server selections screen then blink again and aumatically bring us to character selection screen

More details:
When you are playing a char, and you want to change char to another class, you have to click on the icon on the bottom of the screen and click " change character". After that, on my screen, it will blink few times, then it will bring me to server selection screen and blinking few times again. And after that, before i can click anything, it will automatically bring me to character selection screen. there is 50% chance that it will not bring me to character selection, instead it will become black screen and then crash.



Steps to reproduce:
1. Play any char/class
2. click "change character"
3. wait for awhile. it will either get me to black screen or blinking few times, then bring me to server selection screen then blinking again few times and automatically bring me to character selection screen even without me clicking anything,

That's not a cause of anything.
What they did was implement a system that automatically reconnects you to your last server and channel, when you do "Change Character", saving you the clicking but still flashing the screens that would have appeared back when it was "Quit Game" and took you back to World Select. I don't know why they had to do it that way instead of just keeping the previous connection, probably too much spaghetti to sort through.

What is bugged right now is establishing a connection to a new channel server. We get the same black screen and disconnects when going into Cash Shop or cc'ing in-game. Switching characters is just one case of this.
