[dragoonJ]

Same here, glad it's not just me. Can't log in to green or blue or even red.

[captnkrunch]

[Zippit]

would seem its eqEmulator related as other servers give the same message (Like PEQ etc)

[dca]

Working now

[dragoonJ]

also was able to log in!

[Albanwr]

no worky for me

[Zippit]

[falorie21]

[goldlush]

what causes this this sucks it makes me realize how horribly addicted to this game I am lol :(

[Weeping_Bannana]

Still no worky, same error

[Plumpys]

440pm EST, no worky

[Zippit]

will try rerunning update files......though I'm pretty certain its EQEmulator related

[CheopisIV]

what causes this this sucks it makes me realize how horribly addicted to this game I am lol :(

You're playing a 20 year old game that's woefully under graphic'd and not going to move forward through the past ~17 years of content. Yup, it's addiction and we're all afflicted ;)

[Zippit]

Yep confirmed - rerunning update files for p99 does nothing - same error occurs for all Legends and Preferred servers.

[Zippit]

Could just be a routing issue through inet hubs........Post your locations to help narrow that down (I.e. west coast, central, east coast, Quebcanoise....etc lol

I am West Coast...Nevada

[Casteel]

Tacoma WA area

[Plumpys]

Just got in, East Coast

[Zippit]

Just got in - west coast

[Aisar87]

I was getting it for a couple minutes and kept restarting my client and it just let me in. My first thought is login server is overloaded. No idea otherwise.

Same issue here

[Adron]

[Retsej]

I was logged for past few hours with no issues. Had to restart the computer for other reasons, now I am having this issue as well. Tried another computer, as well as my son's account. Seems to be all server I try.

[Retsej]

:p

[Jeffari]

It's in the hands of the Gods now..

[Sowellca]

Been happening to me too. Logged off to eat, came back.."unknown error, can't log in to server" Never seen this before...every try, same message...

[Jamesstone714]

Server population has dropped over 100 in the last 30 mins

[Sowellca]

and ...have a raid to go to at 7:00 pm CST. Guess I'll end up missing that.

[Spoondoxx]

The people who run the show are more worried about name changes. Who cares about game mechanics and Techs! This is how you ruin fun for folks who put effort into something just to know it can be crapped on at anytime, as they so choose! I was hoping this game would be better than 1999 but i see the actual technology and ignorance came with the game 20 years into the future. Amazing i wish i could hear those dial up sounds as i try to log on to P1999 75 times on this fine afternoon!

[suikerbeestje]

Western European time (Netherlands) 0:40 no go. :(

And all props to the techs and enthusiasts who enable us to play this magnificent game at no charge (apart from donations) at all. Screw the little hickup. Every time myself or my friends log on we understand it 's your time, effort and love that make it happen. Hope you get it fixed soon!

Love to you all that make it happen!

/salute in a non judgemental, supporting, non-deity, non-racial, non-class preferential, non- gender specific and generally Norrath-be praised -way!

[Jeffari]

Could this be the end of Project1999 as we know it?! Or is it all just some elaborate hoax!? More to follow at 11..

[kfmonster]

also can no longer get in and receiving this message

[NutBusterson]

just got in after seeing this error message.

[Nyze]

Login server is back up - go go

[Jamesstone714]

Worked once for me, but then since I was in Paineel my screen froze, now it isn't working again. Population spiked but is now dropping again.

[Andad_Filla]

Aye, I'm still locked out and dying slowly inside with every passing moment.

[suikerbeestje]

Western European time (Netherlands) 0:51 no go. (second post of this message)

Dude...

[suikerbeestje]

Hehe if you like 020 (Area code of the unmentionable city) You will most definitely enjoy 010. (Rotterdam)

Totally different vibe. A dutch saying goes: "In Rotterdam wordt het verdiend, in den Haag verdeeld en in Amsterdam uitgegeven."

They make the money in Rotterdam (largest shipping transfer port in Europe) They divvy it up in The Hague (seat of government) and spend in in Amsterdam. (capitol city of the Netherlands and tourist magnet.)

Trust me, don't fall for the tourist trap, go for Rotterdam for the real dutch experience (nightlife included) and do the picturesque clogs and windmills after. (Like Kinderdijk, just google the word.)

Ofcourse, being a real cockroach (Rotterdam original) I might be prejuidiced. ;)

Cheers fellow login clicker.

[Jamesstone714]

Login still not working, pop 562 an hour ago, currently 457 and dropping. Spiked back into the 500's for a few minutes when things were working temporarily.

[Retsej]

I am intrigued

[CheopisIV]

Going to head into P2002 / Wayfarers Haven and make a DE/SK.

[Kalgrog]

Still cannot log in

[k9quaint]

Also unable to log in. Same error.

[Lurgort/Sseri]

Accurate (https://i.imgur.com/RrBw2sL.gifv)

[Firebrand]

Another distraction from the real issue: what happened to the doc?

[Kennie]

Working now.

[FUBARsoldier]

I have a weird feeling this may be a DoS attack because people are intermittently able to log in, but most people are getting unknown error / timeout. But then again who would DoS a 20+ year old game server?

someone that got banned for RMT and is mad clearly

[Andad_Filla]

RMT has always blown my mind, I can't even fathom paying real money for p99 items, but then again I'm poor AF.

[Retsej]

So what do you suppose a fine steel dagger would go for?

[MarleVVLL]

Error here too.

[scifo76]

I'm having this issue again.

[MarleVVLL]

I've been unable to play for nearly a week due to either an "unknown error" or a "timeout has occurred."

I've done the typical fixes (updated eqhost.txt) & restarted computer to no avail.

Thoughts?

Rule out an issue with your ISP by attempting to connect via a hotspot or vpn.

[MarleVVLL]

It's working, for the moment, now. Thank you! :)

[turboviper]

Here on West Coast (so cal) on 1Gig fiber from Frontier, never had issues until recently. Developed a ton of crashes and dced, on zones, logging in, switching toons ect. Makes porting impossible.

Today I'm testing with a NordVPN acct, running it as 'dedicated IP' so far no crashes.

Also been running my game in XP SP3 mode and reinstalled the game as well as the patches, even tried another computer and hard drive. Zero changes.

Will report back as testing goes.

[turboviper]

So far no crashes or lag outs, multiple character switches, many zones!

[turboviper]

Just logged out, never had one crash running the VPN. Have a feeling this is an ISP related lag/disconnect & crash vs a client end software related crash.
