But no faction adjustment for this weekend, right? I want to ask for my Squad Ring in Rivervale, but I don't want to die because of it...

And thanks for all the work you do! Can't say that enough!

Having same issue on blue. "An unknown error occurred while trying to join the server." Hope this gets resolved soon so I can enjoy the holiday event! I have MISSED the holiday events OG EQ used to have back in these early days of the game!

Be nice to take advantage of this outstanding holiday bonus. However, I've been trying to log in for over 10 minutes now and keep getting, "An unknown error occurred while trying to join the server." message

An unknown error occurred while trying to join the server; happened also with my uncle who lives 100 miles away. Fix your servers P99, and I expect an extended holiday bonus as a result

Excited for the event, but getting the same "unknown error" when trying to log into green <insert sad bard noises>

Looking forward to a fix - thank you for your work on the server and events like this!

Here is what worked for me on windows.

1 open a command prompt (type CMD in your start menu)

2 enter "ipconfig/release"

3 enter "ipconfig/flushdns"

4 enter "ipconfig/renew"

5 Now it's your world, do you!

commands should not include the quotation marks

this actually works if anyone is still having problems. did for me anyway

before
Your trace makes it completely across the Zayo backbone, transitions cleanly to the target's data center host provider (lightwavenetworks.com at hop 16), and then drops dead at the destination server.

after
This data confirms that your packets are successfully traversing the entire physical network route all the way to the host provider edge in Massachusetts (host173-237-193-106.lightwavenetworks.com at hop 16).

So the solution is to never acknowledge the issue and pretend it never happened?

For clarity the log in servers are a separate entity and completely unrelated to P99. This is why there are a variety of known work arounds that are available should you choose to seek them out in the forums. If this is a huge deal to you it would make sense for you to take the time to familiarize yourself with how to log in when the traditional log in servers are having an issue.

either way the bonus lasted longer than your cialis so there really is no reason to complain

They are no longer a separate entity, Rogean took them over within the last year I think.

ARIN info for the IP range the login server uses is registered to Rogean Systems LLC now.

He took physical possession of the servers and moved their location, they are still separate servers from what P99 runs on hence why the game works just fine when the login servers are down.
