Can't get past character select?

[xxsomeguyxx]

Hi, I've been playing normally for the past few weeks but just noticed a few days ago that the game won't let me past the character selection screen? I choose my character, hit Enter World, and while the music continues playing, the game just hangs indefinitely.

This is happening on both blue and green. Have tried tinkering with compatibility mode of my eqgame.exe file but that doesn't seem to have solved the problem.

Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!
