error 1018

[polishanarchy]

Hello,
I'm pretty new here, I just started last week. A few people might know me as Kumadar, currently a level 10 necromancer. So far the game has been great, everyone is super friendly and helpful. I was just logging on for a bit but when I try to join the server (project1999, ruins of Kunark) I get the message, "Error 1018: You currently have an active character on that EverQuest Server, please allow a minute for synchronization and try again."

What does this mean? I'm kind of concerned, given what it suggests...I changed my password just in case, but waiting still doesn't let me log in. I've confirmed that I can connect to other servers and enter the game world on those...I'm hoping this is some kind of server hiccup but I'd appreciate any input just to be sure. Thanks!
