I know the underscore is not the cause of the problem as my friends account had no unusual symbols; it was just letters.

Update: after sending a second petition asking about a character xfer, I got help from Sirken. He says the server "was attacked" a few times over the last month which causes lag. He says due to this lag, I had my problem. U guess the lag hit hard as I camped off and got me stuck. I logged in with success tonight and played for a bit. So it looks like something can be done after Ephi told me nothing could be done. Friend me in game Lyra and send me a tell. Ill help you get some lvls. Same for you Enraged. Tell your friend to try again, maybe it's fixed. Laters!

Good to see you're working again. My friend had this problem back in November, he's since then quit trying to get on. I recently talked him into making a new account to see if that works. Hopefully he'll do that tomorrow and we can see if it does.

Lyra has the new account been error free? Please say yes. I really hope to have some kind of solution for people.

Will do Fuddwin. Thanks for the offer. I'm level 6. I'll be fine once I'm level 8 with meditate.

YES! So far so good. Hope I just didn't jinx myself.

This is not completely accurate. I don't think Sirken did anything to actually remove you from the game. Enough time had passed between your original petition and his response that your account unlocked.

There is still nothing we can do about it from a CSR standpoint. Sorry, guys!

I don't think it was just a coincidence that Sirken told me I was gtg and then I was able to log in, meaning I don't think the time elapsed had anything to do with it. But I definitely don't know as much as you do about all if this computer stuff for sure, and I'm not saying that to be a dick, it's true. I just don't believe in coincidences.

been playing here almost a year give or take -- never had this problem till tonight on a new account (alt I've played up to level 28) -- been locked out about 3 hours now. My other accounts work fine. Definitely painful, maybe this is EQ's way of telling me to GTFO of my house on a Friday night [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hoping this is just a transient issue related to server lag/ high population or whatever -- I'll come back and post my continued experiences with this issue for the sake of others experiencing it. I gotta say reading the rest of your accounts sure bums me out!

Ok so i reinstalled and it fixed the issue too... I did as Lyra suggested and made a backup folder for the fresh install since it is much easier to just copy everything from one folder to another. I also copied all of my .ini files.

If this is what it takes to circumvent this little issue, i dont care. But i would hope this would give some insight to the GM's for what could be causing the issue and how to stop it from occurring.

I've been playing on the server for a while as while and have never had any issues. My friend on the other hand has been able to play for a few hours his first night and has been unable to log in since. This is a major bummer. Last night I logged into his account from my computer and I was able to circumvent error 1018. After this he was able to log in but it was too late so we didn't really play. A little while later 1018 reared it's ugly head again. Since then my friend nor I have been able to log into the account from either of our PCs. What's going on with this? It seems a little ridiculous that hundreds of accounts can work fine but a select few are condemned to this bullshit. All the stuff posted here hasn't helped us. He wouldn't mind making a new account but I twinked the shit out of his character and we need the gear back.
