Login server connection trouble or blank server list

[Brad_mo123]

Been having this issue for a couple of days. I can't connect to the login server, after many tries I will get through but then the server list will be blank, and then many tries after that I might see the servers but then it fails to connect to any server on the list. I have reinstalled the titanium client twice, no fix, and also I have used the eqemu launcher to patch and tried to patch manually, nothing is working.

It's an issue that can be fixed but they just don't care.

So does that mean I am not the only person experiencing this issue and it's not just me?

I think you need to right click on play and select only start everquest

Nah, that has nothing to do with it. Starting the game with the eqemu launcher or with a patchme shortcut makes no difference. Seriously just feels like Rogean doesn't want me playing or something and won't tell me that! :p

there has also been some server attacks which if you tried during them could pose the same problems

I've had the same issues. Just keep trying.

It is almost certainly your internet connection. I had a poor one for several months and constantly had failed connection, timeouts, more blank server select screens than you can care to count, Newbie character select screens, "your spells file is out of date", failure to log into the game even after making it to the character select screen, and, of course, crashes on just about every zone.

Internet access was upgraded last Monday and it all went away. If you can't get a better service, try wiring your comp to the router instead of using wireless, making sure other devices on your network aren't hogging bandwidth, anything to make the connection faster or more reliable.

Same problems here, but our connection is fine.
I'm also getting blank, black screens with big "THE SERVER IS NOT RESPONDING" messages after choosing the server from the list.

I just started getting this error randomly.

Should have read this first, same problem here earlier today and now for the last 2 hours straight with nothing I do seeming to fix it.

Seems to be workin' fine this morning for me.

[Goofier]

Spoke too soon, never got past character select :(

[Goofier]

Took 3 tries to actually get in.

I have the same problem. It started last night after the huge lag. I figured it would be fine in the morning, but no luck. I've tried a fresh reinstall. I read that there was a way to bypass the EQemu launcher, but I haven't quite figured it out. Can anyone help?

So far I've followed the instructions on the "Help! My EQ won't work!" forum.
When I try to launch EQ from the shortcut, I get the message it says it can't establish a network connection.

Thanks,

One thing that did work to get me around the connection issues last night. When EQemu launcher is up and no server lists are loading, right click on the start button and choose launch only everquest. This finally got me into the game where I was able to view the servers and get on even though my direct EQ shortcut was getting the connection error.

i have been having this same problem for some months. it progressively got worse until now neither of my two brothers, my girlfriend or myself can get to anything other than a blank server screen on my home T1 internet connection. IF we luckily can get to our character screens, it crashes loading in, or has characters missing, or is asking for the spell update. if we finally do get into the game, we will surely zone-crash and have to start all over.

it seems to work fine at my girlfriends house DSL, we can all connect fine and play without any problems.
