Can't log into blue server Error 1017 (red server works)

[Kungen]

I was playing on the blue server just now, when I tried to swap account I suddently couldn't log into the blue server. The game crashes and when I log into my account again I see an "Error 1017:Cannot login to the Everquest server. You may need to re-run patch blablabla"

The Red servers works flawlessly on several accounts but the blue just won't start. Been over 30-40 minutes now

Anyone experienced this?

Half the time it's this for me too.
Other half, it returns the "Error 1017: Cannot login to the EverQuest server. ...re-run the Update Patch. ..."

However, it does show that a few hundred people are playing currently on the server. So it's only a select few of us that can't log in?

[cyryllis]

[Kungen]

Does it happen to everyone or just a few?

[articnv]

[Stryker85]

I tried to switch accounts about an hour ago and haven't been able to log back in since. It's still down for me right now...

[lavel]

Had been logged in for a while on another account, switched about 1.5 hours ago. Just now logged out and attempted another account. Locked out with error 1017 and/or kicked to login after a brief moment it seems to try to connect.

edit: logged in immediately following this

[yzarCritS]

For those following this thread, I was finally able to log back in as of 12:55pm EST. Enjoy all!

[djm902]

I was just able to log in.

[Kungen]

Managed to log in now. Do I dare to swap account? Last time it got fucked

lovely little error. followed all instruction i could find about 3 times, still get this popping up. game shows it using 1 core, but the game is running at what seems like 10x the speed. character creation they move super fast and in the other servers i can cross zones in like 3 seconds. i see this is a fairly large problem though from all the posts.
