I did perform the windows defender exclusion / reboot method with no change in success. Clicking Play on a locked server resulted in client freeze/crash.

I was able to get in by clicking CHAT button at the server select screen. This seemed to "update" the population lists, resulting in the P99 servers appearing in the list with realistic population numbers. Clicking Play Everquest from here resulted in successfully loading to char select and then into world.
