Error 1017 (cannot login to the Everquest server?)

[Zarathustra333]

So the severs are up now and after I login in and select my server it just crahses to the login and once I login for the second time it states Error 1017: Cannot log into the Everquest server and that I may need to re-run my patch updates.

I haven't played in awhile (8 month-ish?) and I know I stopped playing because of an error beforehand (I think my character got deleted or something weird). Anyways, was wondering if anyone could help me out? Thanks!
