Possible Error 1018 fix, if you are having this issue look here

[Mattpearson]

My problems with the error 1018 bug also began after I accidentally I left a nonactive character logged on over night, and camped/logged the character off after I realized this. When I went to log back on hours later, the error 1018 bug began.

The act of leaving a nonactive character logged on for several hours seems to have some causal connection to the error 1018 bug.

I thought the error had somehow fixed itself when it mysteriously stopped last weekend; the error 1018 bug, however, returned today, and none of the solutions that I have discovered have worked.
