Having trouble trying to access World of Warcraft's Tournament Realm recently? You might not be the only one, based on a report made by player Sobou over at the WoW Test Realm forums.

In Sobou's case, the WoW client was repeatedly getting stuck at "Retrieving Character List" after he had logged out of the PTRs, and was attempting to log into the tournament realms. Blizzard poster Hortus eventually visited the thread with this update:

It sounds like the Arena Tournament realm was just having problems. Probably just a coincidence that it happened while you were logging into the PTR.

While the problem is currently resolved, Hortus did note that anybody who may be experiencing similar problems with the WoW client will want to make their report at the thread. The test realm thread's available for viewing via the source link below - just keep on the lookout in case any further updates regarding this matter are announced.
