Default Login server issue?

Looking for a little bit of help -

I am thinking I missed a step in the setup process. I followed step 1-5 in the getting started tab and overwrote the zipped files I needed to. However, when I launch the game I get to the login screen and after entering my login information I am told that a connection to the server could not be reached. Is there something I need to manipulate with the login server also?

Thanks for your time!

I'm not sure if it's the same problem I'm having right now. I log-in and it takes me to the server select screen, but there are no servers listed. I also tried using quick connect, but it just gives me a message that says "Failed...".

I was logged-in and playing this morning. Is anyone else having trouble connecting?

460 people logged-in, so I guess not. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Helllllp. I see no servers. It was working for me not 3 hours ago.

I'm guessing my problem and the OP's are related. If not, I apologize for unintentionally hijacking the thread.

I kept trying after seeing some similar posts from the past and I eventually saw the servers.

OP, keep trying.

Default A connection to the server could not be reached

Having the same problem. Installed titanium and followed all steps in the quickstart guide exactly as stated. When logging in I receive the message "A connection to the server could not be reached."

And you are certain that you changed the path for the executable to run to like this?:
"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

I think a lot of it depends on your connection to the server. I've run different tracerts and sometimes the connections timeout depending on which path the connection makes.

I've had as many as 250+ blank screens before seeing servers. It generally takes me an average of 20 or so login attempts before I see a filled server select. The trick is to not close the client...just keep trying till you see a selection.

I've tried opening multiple clients...closing/re-opening the client...direct path connection to server instead of mirror...you name it.

The only thing that works for me is rapid typing.

Meh.

I'm having the same problem intermittently it seems as well.

Was doing it last night when I was on the Infinity's Edge server, but then later I got on. Same deal first thing this morning when I tried to get on P1999. Rebooted and it worked. Now, I am getting it again and rebooting isn't helping.

Edit: Tried again and it's working now.
