Extremely difficult to connect to the game

[Oakin]

When I am at the password log in, about 60% of the time it doesn't allow me to reach the server selection screen.

When I am at the server selection screen, about 80% of the time it is a blank list showing no servers.

If it server lists appear, and I try to enter the blue or red servers, it will fail about 80% of the time.

I've only successfully made it into the game twice.

What's the deal? This seems to be a 24/7 problem for me.

Having the same problem but started today. Server list is blank or error trying to log in

essentially, they screwed up something with the ip chain or something along those lines (im not very technical) and they refuse to admit it or change it back, so they allow a percentage of the population to just suffer while sweeping it under the carpet.

Really starting to impact my ability to play. Crashing on almost every zone. Takes 10 minutes to login. Any advice other than wait for them to fix it?

[Oakin]

Tried for an hour to get into the game today. Got in one time, and the game crashed while zoning.

Yeah i had a few people over playing yesterday after and hour only one of us was able to get on. Fast computers 130 Mbps internet. Their server over populated?

One of the stops along the way is causing you issues.

[Oakin]

I'm giving up for the time being. The game is just impossible to play.

I'm having the same problem. I've been trying to play pretty often over the last three days. I've tried logging in well over 200 times and I've only made it past character select twice.

i continuously get "error 1017" (if and when i get an error message)...about 90% of the time, there's no error message, just boots me back to the login screen. i've made it to the character select screen a handful of times, each time i click "enter world", i get the "everquest not responding" before it boots me to the login. anytime this happens, it takes about 5 minutes or so due to "error 1018" (character is currently in the game world).

This is super frustrating. I used to play EQ on dial up on a piece of shit compaq pressario, now a pc/connection that runs battlefield/modern warfare and other current online games flawlessly cannot manage to get an 18 year old game to connect.

having same issue suddenly tonight

Same. I was fine all day, switching characters left and right. Sometime between 9pm and 10pm ET it all went to hell. I can't get to character select at all.

yeah same thing and time period for me.

Blank server select.

When I do manage to get server options and im able to get to char select...if my characters are there and not saying my spells are outdated....I log in to crash again as soon as I try to zone.

What is your ISP?

[Wokchop]

Same. Houston, we have a problem :(

[polishanarchy]

I've been having a lot of login issues too the past couple days. Either I can't connect, or the server login is blank. Eventually stuff shows up... also noticing sudden crashes on zoning that I've never really had before.

[Vanquisher]

i cant connect right now at all i got to server select once and crashed loading in

[Necabo]

I, too, have experienced login problems.

[evilkorn]

Same thing the last few nights mostly after 8-9pm. Afternoon seemed fine about the 2pm est till then I could zone, swap characters without issue. ISP is Comcast Florida.

[wiseguy3k]

same, same, and same

[daasgoot]

ive seen quite a few of these threads.. obviously whatever they did in the last patch regarding trying to speed up zone times broke something.. has anyone seen a response from staff in any of these threads?

[Feathers]

What do we do to fix it!?

Find a way to get in contact with Rogean other than PMing him.

The guy who helped him come up with the change (demonstar) has offered a solution to Rogean but can't seem to actually get in contact with him in order to apply the fix. It's a pretty odd situation.

Typically I can get back in after pounding logins but WinEQ, Emu Launcher, the issue is across the board.

Hanging at login
Blank Server list
Lonnnng zone times
Crashing on zone
Unable to connect to server

Very frustrating stuff, I'd like to think they are focusing on Velious and this will be resolved soon.

Yup, I started having these same issues tonight.

Started having these issues yesterday. Now they won't go away, no idea what the issue is. For all we know at this time it could very well be a backbone router issue that is just not being resolved by the hardware owner.

[Tasslehofp99]

Getting weird lag today, 22-29 ms ping but will have random tell/spell lag and random boots to login screen or character select. Frustrating as fuck.
