Seems the "Retrieving Character List" message appears for long durations when there's a large number of players actively playing.
Well considering I logged in once almost instantly when there was more than 7K, I think there might be a more bigger issue with the stability of the auth server.
When I logged in earlier, about 6.3K were on-line and it took almost more than 2 minutes for my character to pop-up.
