[Server login issues now affecting all accounts?]

Same, it loaded insanly slow and I exit the game, now I get the error message at log in.

[Story Instances Cause the game to drop Connection, usually at the end of the story?]

Yep, same problem here. Had to redo a story instance 3 times in a row but still experiencing crashes. And is the same error code: 7:11:3:191:101. I really don't know what else to do. Lowering the graphics still does it. Wrote a ticket to Anet and I hope to see a reply soon and get this thing fixed.
