Launcher appears offline / won't allow me to log in

[PatriotPanda]

Hey guys - super excited to be coming back to EQ.

I've just installed the game, followed the guides etc. and can't seem to get the launcher to allow me to log in.

I've tried all the standard stuff, rebooting, drivers are updated, reinstalling etc.

I'm using WinEQ to try and run the game.

Any thoughts / input on how to get myself online? Hoping that I just missed something mundane and easy.

Screenshot of launcher message attached.

Thanks in advance,

Panda
