Server Select and Characters missing....
 

Having a bit of a weird issue all of a sudden. I logged into EQ earlier today, just fine, I logged out shortly after as I was only checking on something. I later tried to log in again but this time I was disconnected during the log in process. Since then I haven't been able to access the server select screen. It gets there, but no servers are displayed. I can use the Quick Connect button from the login screen, but when I get to the character select screen, all of my characters are missing. Really appreciate any help.

Have you restarted?

Same thing is happening to me. Occasionally, I'll see server list but after attempting to log in i will get "an unknown error." Other times I only see a blank server select screen or get a time out error.

I actually made it to char select once but froze after pressing enter world.

Started about half an hour ago, I tried the ip reconfig/renew, with no apparent differences, as well as multiple restarts. If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to try them.

Thank you

looks like its a server side issue. Happening to a bunch of people there is a 3 page thread in General Forum.

I just logged in fine. So keep trying I guess.

.

It's server-side so don't worry about it and just enjoy the boredom. I have been getting it for about half a day now. If you keep trying you can occasionally get in, but you will load at the speed of ass and have random time-outs. Plus zoning is Russian roulette.


FYI I was in-game when it hit me. Zoned to Nro. Crash. Get on, port to EK - crash! Get on, zone to beholder.. crash! Then the same symptoms described in OP started. No connection, no servers, time-outs etc.

.

Same Issues here, Attempted log-ins fail sometimes , there are no servers at all listed on server selection screen about every 4th time it does list them.
Eventually after 15-20 min trying I get " an unknown error " message while trying to connect to the server , or it will take me to charecter select , and then not log me in.
I'm not sure if it's related at all but I had no issues pre patching the new spell file ever since. it's been the above problem and crashing or complete lock ups on near every zone.

Same here :(

PS I am on U-Verse

It is not solaria(I don't use) and it is not location, as my RL friend has no issues and lives 2 minutes away.

So far 3 people with U-verse though. Wouldn't that just be epic..


Anyway for people with this problem, with enough patience you CAN get on. I wouldn't recommend zoning though as you will almost always crash. You can still zone, just gotta get back on. Finally forced me to grind out 51 at least..



Edit: Upon logging in recently I got the log in screen with the 4 characters telling me to update my spell files. It was working prior to this bug, and I updated after this bug started, so I assume this is a random side-effect and probably not related. Especially seeing as sometimes I can't even get to server select.
