Character stuck

I was playing my Monk in Legion Remix and oding the class campaign. The last bit of it, after accepting it on the Broken Shore.

Well, for Monks it leads you to Kun-Lai Summit. I had to go AFK to take care of something at home and when I got back, I was logged out.
Figured it wouldn’t be a big deal and wanted to continue my questline. But I can’t seem to log in on that character anymore. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that a Legion Remix character is logged out in a zone that isn’t in Legion.

I’ve already tried the scan & repair, I’ve tried UI reset, no addons, logging in on another character and waiting 15 minutes to try again, etc.
I can log into any other character just fine, except onto the Monk.

Whenever I do, the loading screen just never finishes and I eventually get the “world server down” notification.

Trying to get my character unstuck is proving impossible as well. Since the service on both online and in-game go into an endless loop when you click “get started”. I never even get the chance to pick the character I’d like to get unstuck.

Contacting Blizzard through an old-fashioned ticket is also just impossible nowadays.
And I don’t want to open a ticket under the mask of account issues just to get through.

I know it’s Legion Remix and leveling a character is extremely fast and I could just make another Monk and do it all over again but man.. I was 2-3 quests away from finishing the entire campaign and I can’t be bothered doing it all over now.

Is there ANY way I could get this character unstuck after all?

I had the same when i entered operation floodgate. apparently there are more players with this issue. All those characters are stuck at the moment. Read somewhere on this forum that blizzard is fixing it. edit: Just read that the servers will be restarted in ±40minutes.
