If you haven't already, install EQ to c:\everquest instead of program files.

Also, if you have any virus software installed, particularly norton or mcaffee, disable (or even consider deleting) it. I know for a fact that those can mess with EQ and p99. i've even heard of avg messing with people's ability to play, though i use it and haven't had a problem.

Default My friends and I have the same problem and cannot play.

Hey! I am a long time Rallos Zek player and recently discovered this server and was so excited to get back to playing original EQ with my buddies, and we too cannot get passed the server screen without getting kicked back to the login screen and then seeing a 1017 error. I have tried EVERYTHING listed in the other help articles. We just cant get this to work. All 3 of use are having the same problem. I have put so many hours into this for weeks that I am almost about to accept the fact that is was never meant to be. =(

I'll keep checking back. wish me luck! =)

So you've tried everything in the FAQ...?

Is your processor overclocked?

disabled all virus software? (or removed completely, in the case of mcaffee/norton?)

Default Tried everything =(

Unfortunately yes. I haven't overclocked my processor. I play on a Samsung Chronos 7 laptop with Windows 8. My other friend is on a desktop, and the other on a Macbook with windows, we all have the same exact problem. We are somewhat computer savvy as well. =( We are all so frustrated about the issue and have been trying so hard to get going. We were absolute fiends back in the day so we are very eager to get play.

I can also connect to the other servers just fine. Just not 1999.

Default Just got it to work

Just got it to work! TY. Was weird. I just patched the blue project 1999 and then project PVP started working? I had tried everything and was just about to give up. I also moved my EQ to c:/ instead of leaving it program files like you suggested. Not sure which change did it. Thank so much. See you in game. =)
