LoginServer timeout

[John Adams]

I don't notice this all the time, but usually after I /camp to character creation and start making a new character - before I can even get passed making their ears pointy and blue, I get a disconnect message from loginserver and the client quits... destroying my work of art!
I can't say it happens all the time - but what are the conditions of a timeout like this, and can it be prevented? 60s (if that's it) is nowhere near long enough to create the beauty of me in character form.
edit: I take that back. It's everytime I start a new toon and take longer than the defaults to create (which I have normally done before). Maybe this has been the case always?

It is the client that kills the connection, I havent figured out why yet.
