An unknown error occurred while trying to join the server

[Ferocitas]

Same issue this morning. Is there a fix?

Login Fubar.

Yep. Same here. I assume it get's resolved pretty quick usually. I've heard this has been going on, and first time it caught me.

Confirming this under Linux as well. Seems like a server problem, but unsure if it's at the p99 or eqemu level. When resolved, can someone explain the underlying issue? "Unknown error" is not very descriptive.

And just like magic. We are live again bois.

A simple flush dns removed the error for me and I got right in without a reboot.

This occured to me around roughly 6:30AM EST (this morning) during Manastone camp. I was #2 on list with 28 hours in. It prevented me from logging back in for 20-30 mins just long enough to lose my place on list.

I have never experienced this issue and I have logged into Everquest exactly 23,798 times.

Neither have I. Ever until today.

This issue seems to be ISP specific. I receive this error on my Comcast and my Optimum connections, but never on Verizon. I was able to log in using my Verizon ISP at the same time the other two were giving me issues.

I'm fairly sure this has to do with DNS propagation. If you're accessing a nameserver that hasn't been updated then you're going to see this. Not sure what caused the initial issue though - like what kind of server-side update to the game or is someone messing with the DNS settings, no idea.
