Can anyone explain to me what the problem even is? Like what is physically happening and why do we seem to deal with it more here.

The problem is with the world server that handles logins to the server and zones. If the problem exists on both servers we probably only see it on blue because it is likely an incremental problem caused by a user action like zoning, which occurs much more on blue. It could be some unreleased resources on an action, perhaps even particular to zoning in Kunark.

The way it seems to be happening more frequently with the recent resurgence in population makes me favor your theory. It sure smells like a memory leak of some sort... lose a little on some repeated action and after a while some piece of software seizes.

What about a login server that reboots itself once an hour? Idk. This just seems really persistent, like almost daily persistent lately.

would this actually work? seems like a fairly elegant solution if so. might be annoying if the server takes 5+ minutes to reboot though.

I have no idea hehe, just seems like something lazy I'd do if I had a server with these kinda problems but I have absolute zero experience in these areas so probably is an extremely sloppy/non-applicable suggestion. I just wanna know whats happening is all really.

It's the login server, not the server itself. Every time you zone it tries to re-verify your credentials; Obviously failing. The remaining people are either AFK or smart enough to stay where they are and keep grinding.

No. If it was the login server, every other server would have this issue. They don't. It's this server.


Project 1999 != Everquest Emulator.

If it was the login server you couldn't log on to the EQ Emu to see any servers,

It's a problem specifically with P99.

usually its only down for a few minutes, so far though going on 2 hours

This server has lost its connection to the worldserver (loginserver). Zoning and global chats are not availbale. If it were the whole server there wouldn't even be 77 people on
