Return of the Noob

[Otur]

Tally ho!

I've been away from EQ for about 7 years now and I heard about this P99 on the Mithaniel-Marr server forum at Facebook.
I played some this morning, created a character, got gimped by Aviaks, nothing unusual there.
Now on the other hand, I keep desktop (exe) crashing while attempting to log onto the server. I'm not even sure how to check if the server is Up or Down [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Any help or tips appreciated,
Cheers,
