Mapserver/game crash trying to enter missions

This is an issue I've had three times today; once during a Positron Part 1. Attempting to re-enter the mission causes the same result - I see the City of Heroes splash screen, it sits there, and then eventually spits me back out to the outside of the mission, unable to do anything, with the message "Mapserver Disconnected."
We petitioned a GM about it the first time; they responded quite promptly, although it took them 40 minutes to fix the issue so we could finish the Positron. But it happened twice more to me today, this time redside on normal early arc/paper missions.
EDIT: If relevant, I play primarily on Virtue.
Same here on Virtue , both sides red , and blue, normal , and co-op zones.
Loading screen appears for 5-7 minutes, then it finally kicks out to "mapserver disconnected".
Loading into the base portals is about 1 in 8 trys.
I have had to exit the game from the task manager everytime due to the fact that the game will not close out on its own after the mapserver issues.
Upon trying to re-enter the game i have found that it keeps the character loaded in everytime as well.
Same thing here, thought it was just me. :/
Spines/ D A lvl 50 Scrap, stone/wm lvl 50 tank, Kat/reg lvl 50 Scrap
Grav/Kin lvl 50 Cont, Fire/Enegry lvl 50 Blast
Warshade lvl 50, PB lvl 39, nightwidow lvl 50, crab lvl 42
plant/thorns lvl 50 dom, ice/fire lvl 40 dom, grav/nrg lvl 41 dom
Virtue here as well.
I am also experiencing "these" particular mapserver errors. Just ran the ITF and was forced to kill coh.exe through task manager. The second time I rebooted. None of my TF members or I could fully load the 3rd mission by any means.
I am forced to kill the program through task manager or reboot my computer altogether. A friend of mine mentioned the same problem entering one our SG bases.
Also, on Virtue. Perhaps there is a fix around the corner?

Had similar issues while running radio missions in PI. Long load, mapserver disconnect, quit to clear blue sky, etc.
Interestingly, after I restarted COH I could try again entering the missions, but still, this is annoying.

We had this issue yesterday trying to enter our base, and later in the third mission of the ITF.
Our SG teams had the same problem all night last night. I too had to use the task-manager each time to close CoH down, as that seemed the only way to get past the frozen "mapserved" screen, and it seemed to happen with each new mission.
Having to use the TM to shut the game down over and over and over all evening is not only frustrating, but worrisome, especially when this goes on for days.
Devs hate RPers, this is proof.
Mapserved in grandville, and cant log in to any toons there or zone in. The same frozen splash screen error and all, on virtue
Mapserved on last mish of LRSF, and can't get in on any toons I left in GV. And, yes, Virtue.
Upon entering missions I'm getting a LONG cinematic screen, a mapserver, then a game freeze, followed by a light blue screen (w/clouds in the sky). I then have to kill the game process to be able to restart the game. It pretty much happens on every mission now. On a second try at entering the mission it usually succeeds. It also happens trying to enter my base.
