[Era'viss]

Alrighty everyone. The issue has been RESOLVED. You will not believe what the problem was...

I kept focusing on the authentication lines in the log. It would show a connection, and then failure to authenticate. My friend and I finally surmised that the problem had to be with my account. We used a computer that had been able to connect and play on the p99 servers to login on my account, and BAM the same exact error and problem was reproduced. So we immediately knew the problem wasn't with my computer, software, etc.

I promise I followed all the steps in the account setup processes. Something must of goofed during the authentication process of my account... OR the fact that my login for the servers was: Era'viss. Using the character ' might have been an ineligible selection. Only way to disprove this is if anyone else out there has that character in their login...

Well we were able to make a new server account, and bingo it works perfectly. I'm now level 3 on my druid, and I'm super excited to join all of you in this wonderful gift that is Project 1999.

Thank you all for the help you provided!
