I did perform the windows defender exclusion / reboot method with no change in success. Clicking Play on a locked server resulted in client freeze/crash.

I was able to get in by clicking CHAT button at the server select screen. This seemed to "update" the population lists, resulting in the P99 servers appearing in the list with realistic population numbers. Clicking Play Everquest from here resulted in successfully loading to char select and then into world.

I tried the CHAT button but it didn't update the populations lists. Any other suggestions?

Saw that last night but when I scrolled down the server list green and the other servers were there below the locked out black section.

So I run my client through a usb drive with Win.EQ2. anyways I spammed chat button for awhile then I reset my win.eq preference and it worked. so I would suggest installing win.eq or reseting preference if you already have it. it got rid of all the extra ip junk and all servers are up. I hope this helps.

Hit the chat button after you login (at server select), not where you type your password.
