Some accounts are SUPER buggy for some reason. They will get 1018 errors constantly for days at a time even though there is no character logged in. Unfortunately there is no solution for this problem. P1999 says it's the login server fault, the login server says it's P1999 fault. And we are stuck in the middle dealing with the issue. I know several people who have given up playing due to this bug. We're not going to get anywhere unless someone from P1999 coordinates with eqemulator to work on fixing this issue.

Yeah... it's unfortunate. It's happening again to my roommate's account after curing itself after 6 hours yesterday. This time he properly camped out too.

My brother experienced this a couple days ago. The next evening he logged in just fine. He's already kinda "on the fence" with this game, since he didn't play near as much as the rest of our crew did back in the day. I'm afraid that if this becomes a recurring thing he'll likely just quit... too bad there's no solution to this.

We have no power to fix this currently as CSR reps. I've tried multiple things in-game to see if I could boot people off who are experiencing the problem, but nothing has been successful.

So please don't petition for it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think we all realize that you GMs can do nothing about it yourselves. We're just looking for one of you to get a hold of someone who can fix the issue at its source.

Following Ephin's message, I got this issue that concern only & always 1 account (I have 3) and asked couple time GM to help me. I confirm that they cannot do nothing actually even their kindness [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Imo I think a server reboot will resolve this issue but ofc I am not sure [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Be patient they will find a solution asap !

my toon has been stuck ingame for over 24 hours now, there should be someone who can take ownership of this issue and get it resolved yes?

If it's any consolation, this happened to one of my accounts that I made to level and alt on. It was doing this for 24 hours, and it seemed to only be that account. I re-made the same character on a different account and haven't been on the non-working one since. The only fix so far is to stop using the account, seeing as EQEmu and P99 staff don't know a fix to this bug.

I came across someone last night having the same problem, stuck on a Lvl 1 alt bored to tears waiting for something magical to happen so they could go back to their main account.

Has anyone tried creating a static IP address? (you can tinker with your router settings by going to 192.168.1.1)...its a total shot in the dark however [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

from what I gather, some accounts get locked-into the game indefintetly. And it has nothing to do with multiple accounts, IP exemptions, etc. It seems like the server decides to NOT unload your character/release it from game.

I knwo that error message happens when you get DC or try to switch accounts too fast, and you gotta try in like 5 minutes.


I have never experienced this issue on any of my accounts for longer than 5 minutes. I use LServer accounts that were created in 2003 and also some created a month ago. So that doesn't have an affect.

@swish: assigning static IP addresses instead of DHCP addresses from your router will have no affect on this issue
