Miscellaneous: Error 1018 conditions are possibly not implemented correctly

[gwideon]

This started happening to me today. Has anyone checked to see if there are multiple accounts with the same ID, or that the ID is being truncated before compare? It is almost like someone is playing on another account and the server thinks it is my ID...

Well, just hit a friend of mine. This is ridiculous.

I have now been afflicted with this terrible disease. I /ex'd out of my toon about 4 hours ago now and have not been able to log on since.


Resetting DNS/Router does not work, I don't think this is on a problem on the client side...

nooooo



if I was a developer on this project, I would have already opened a full investigation and reported back with my findings

just had this happen to me today, i shut down my computer while on my bard this morning, got home in the afternoon and got the 1018 error, after 4 hours or so i was able to get in.

bump. happens regardless of camping out properly or /q-ing

I've played on p99 on a wide variety of accounts over the last 2-ish years, and until a couple weeks ago I never experienced a 1018 that persisted for more than a few minutes. But in the last few weeks I've started having this issue on and off with my wizard's account. Fortunately I rarely play that account and it only seems to last a few hours at a time... but wtf? That account has been around for several months and I've spent enough time on it to get a wiz to 55 and I never experienced this until the last few weeks? And I never experienced it ever on any other account over the course of hundreds of days /played?

Bump for a retarded bug.

Have this happening on one of my accounts.

Bump for a good post with information on the bug...

The idea that the character ID is truncated and the server thinks 2 people are on makes a lot of sense.

I was able to freely log on before then wasn't on for a week and now i cannot log in at all for multiple days.

So to add on this, without any overly technical or long term testing.

Try to log on:

(going to update this to see if there are any trends..)

Sunday: 6-9PM PST Multiple log in attempts on p1999 blue. All fails except for 1 successful log in, camped out and immediately was back to 1018 failure.
Monday: 4-9pm PST Multiple log in attempts all fail.
Tuesday: 4-9PM PST Multiple log in attempts all fail.
Wednesday: 6:30-6:45AM PST Multiple log in attempts all success.
Wednesday 5:45 PM Multiple attempts all fail
Wednesday: 9:20 PM multiple attempts all success, 9:45 cannot log in.
Thursday 6:30 am pst, multiple log in all successful, going to leave a char logged in all day and see what happens when i log out & back in during the normal prime time when i can never log in.
Thursday 5:30 PM , char still logged in, was able to log out and log back in just fine.
Thursday 8:45 pm, cannot log in
Friday 5:45 am, log in fine

If it's an account related issue, it IS manageable. It may not have a permanent fix, though a temporary solution is for guides to clone characters/move equipment.
They themselves have said it affects a super small % of the population - thus it shouldn't take much time to meet coordinate assistance with players.

For every moment a guide spends responding to useless drama comments or banning people for RnF activity, they could be doing something worthwhile for the server and it's community.

Meanwhile ....

Sirken's response to me was:

"we do not transfer characters.
we are working on a fix for the 1018 error"

With a response like that, you'd think this was the real Verant.
+1 for classic.

I mean, we don't (generally) pay so they don't OWE us anything.

At the same time.. it seems like everything points to this being emu related and there are previous posts where GM/Guides allude towards account transfers.

I would honestly appreciate a response at least stating why transfers cannot be done in this situation. Assuming they can transfer/clone/whatever it seems like that would be an easy fix.. now if they do not have the ability to transfer okay but at the same time explain posts where
