Is anybody currently having issues logging in to EQ?
For some reason I cannot log in to the server screen now. I two botted Friday evening, np...but now w/e I try to login it just takes me to the old login screen and says unable to connect to the network.
I have checked my ISP = np there. I can login to LoN = np - but it just won't allow me to enter EQ. I've restarted my PC multiple times, rebooted modem & router, done complete file ud scan (on launchpad) and all I can keep thinking is that it has something to do with the Epatch late last week?
I do not see any current threads or info on a login issue, so far. Kinda stuck on this. Usually if it is server-side there would be mention of it.
I'm assuming it is a server side issue or some how my EQ shortcut has gone dead on me, all of a sudden.

*I have NOT done any new installs on PC, have not changed any settings, nor have I done anything to affect the EQ game link or the game itself. It has just stopped working as it did late Friday.

Any info or ideas would be helpful.

I usually leave my toons at the character select screen on weekends so I had no problem getting in game. Also didn't hear any comments about log-in problems in general chat. Sony did announce a temporary log-in server downtime late last week but I thought that was over and done with. Perhaps they ran into further difficulties?

Not sure, like I said - I played fine all day Friday, and Friday night....logging in, playing, camping, and relogging. But out of nowhere...Sat morning....I kept trying to login and it looked like I'd goto server screen, but instead get kicked to the OLD FV login screen ( iirc the 2007ish one) and nothing but the could not connect to network...and all of those "help" links in mini window are dead...so only place I can ask for any help/info is here.
Seems as thought some of the SOE sites are dead or down now, too. -----> Making me think it could be an SOE issue?

**Okay, I just tried my Steam account...and I got the same message - could not connect to server** ;which I initially thought it may be my ISP (or an issue with connectivity). But the how could I still be able to login to LoN if I am having a connectivity issue...? The internet loads fine, and LoN is fine...just cannot access servers from EQ or Steam.???? If it was an ISP issue I shouldn't be able to access any of them.
Hmmmmm, just frustrating!!!!!

Very strange, have you tried contacting Sony at all?

I have not contacted SOE, yet. I am still checking on possible issues from my end. The strange part is still that I can login to LoN successfully and browse the internet, but I cannot seem to login to EQ and get to the server screen. It still kicks me to the TBS login screen and comes up with the mini window saying I could not establish a connection with the server. I even tried re-downloading the EQ launchpad patcher, and that won't even install successfully, either. I guess if I continue having problems, I will eventually have to contact SOE support to hopefully resolve this issue.
Weird thing about it too, my wife is having same issues as me, on her PC. LoN is fine, but cannot log in to EQ.
Thanks for possible help / advice in this matter. =)

**Also, on another note, after doing a little more digging....I now see that CT server has been having login issues since Saturday morning, along with a few from Tunare - they are the same issues I am currently having, but I'm on Luclin server - so maybe there is a slight trickle effect going on serverwide???

You might want to check out the official everquest boards and see if there is a new thread under support matching your issue. SoE tends to be slow announcing issues, but players are usually pretty quick at making it known on the forums.

Sunday morning isn't the busiest time on Alla, and the population sample to replicate an issue isn't anywhere near as large as the official boards. Example: maybe it's a version of windows compatability issue, it's entirely possible that no one running that version of windows will look here for a day or two.

Alla has great quality of users/posters, however... your situation may benefit from quantity.

Dually noted! Thanks....the small number of login issues were on the SOE forums, not Alla. I may try to talk to SOE support online and see if there are any issues currently on Luclin.
I'm running Win7, and have no compatability issues running EQ, as of late Friday night; so I'm still convinced it may be serverside, not on my end.

It likely is server side. I have had many "unable to validate login" messages this weekend while changing chars. I also noted that yesterday morning was totally without lag, but during the afternoon, lag got really bad. Then the Welcome Screen popped up. This morning, the Welcome Screen is back to "this is broken" again, but lag was pretty bad up until my client crashed a few minutes ago. I also saw that the Cazic server was down and locked in the last 24 hours.

This on again, off again Welcome Screen and its associated problems is causing my patience to wear very thin......

So strange, I've played very little this weekend but I always had a char logged in (trader or afk in lobby) and have switched accounts with Zero issues, besides the power outage of Friday which wasn't on Sony any bit.... more so DTE's problem.
