[2023] Survival world crashes on trying to load

I created a survival world with 2 of my friends at the beginning of the Surtr season. Everything was working great until some time around Christmas. One of my friends told me they couldn't login to the world. The loading screen would load the bar at the bottom of the screen and then crash just before loading the world. A couple of days later, the other friend told me the same thing. I tried to login myself and the same crash occurred . It seems like the game tries to load but crashes unexpectedly every time. I can start a new solo or new multiplayer survival world without issue, which leads me to believe it's a world problem. I've read that nearing the build limit could cause an issue like corruption, but our world wasn't close to the build limit. I guess it's a moot point with the world resets happening at the next season patch, whenever that may be. It was nice having a place to quickly do the daily challenges. Anyone have any ideas why the world won't load? I posted in the Discord channel yesterday, but I've gotten no response and haven't seen any other posts about this issue. Thanks in advance for any help/input.
