unable to create character

[Siward]

whenever I try to create a character, the system gets a disconnected/connection lost error once I hit the 'submit name for approval' button. This happens on any server I try. PEQ P99 etc. I have tried launching from both the EQ icon with the 'no patch' target, as well as through the EMUlauncher. I'm at a loss.

TIA

like bam said halfling ranger/paladin cannot be made

neither can gnome sk/pal

i tried to make a halfling ranger at least a dozen times. i thought i was choosing a name already used so i changed name everytime :P forgot that shit came after velious. halfling ranger is the greatest thing ever.

Ill try reinstalling. I was trying to make a human necro. So definately not a non-classic character.

a full reinstall later 100% of ever direction followed... tried both the emulation launcher as well as manually patching to v27... nothing I can't create a new character. it disconnects every time. any ideas?

whatever network you are using is blocking some ports would be my guess. using a school or business internet?

i am tethering in using my phone. Do they block ports or change around my source too often for the server to establish a connection? :confused:



edit: Just realized I play other MMOs just fine on my tethered connection.... So now im only more confused

I'd say that your phone isnt sending packets fast enough for the server and its constantly booting you. i know at times ive had to use my phone to tether its taken me 4 or 5 times just to get to character screen even in good 4g areas. So i would say that that is your issue.
