Temporary Alternate Login Server for SoD

[Doderic]

The login server is up again.

Was a network outage. Has been resolved.

This isn't working for me. This is what I did can anyone let me know if I'm missing something?
Logged into PEQ with old client and did the setlsinfo.
Logged off.
Changed the eqhost file in sod client to www.tsahosting.net:5999
Launched sod client and tried logging in and get invalid username/password.

PEQ had to be connected to this login server for it to be able to send the update packet. This login server was down all morning and part of the afternoon. And it appears PEQ has not yet reconnected. I would suggest trying again tomorrow or using the PEQ login server in the meantime.

SoD login server down... seems like tsahosting.net is pretty unreliable.

Edit: back up @ 8:26pm cst

I just moved the equipment to a different colocation facility last weekend. I was dealing with some issues with the way things were set up so that is why it went up and down tonight. It should be stable from now on (except for when we take it down to update versions as we try to debug the connect to game server problems).

I am having an odd problem. I have one account that can no longer get into servers. I was playing fine on SoD the other day and then now when I try to login I get to the server screen and after trying to join a server it gives me an unknown error message. It is only this one account and it happens on all 3 or 4 servers.

So i got everything going, when i change my

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

to

[LoginServer]
Host=www.tsahosting.net:5999

it starts updating, is this normal? and if not what else do i need to do?

You mean the client starts patching? Double check that your shortcut has patchme written after eqgame.exe, outside of any quotes. If you've already downloaded some files you may need to reinstall, I believe a patched version will disconnect after selecting a character.

Also, double check that changes made to your eqhost.txt file actually "stick" after you close off notepad or whatever.

Do you mean that it starts showing the server list properly? If you are using SoD, you need the port number to be 5999. If using Titanium or SoF, you need the port number to be 5998. The eqemulator.net login server does not yet support SoD, which is why the tsahosting.net login server was made available.

If you mean it is doing the Sony update to the client, the eqhost.txt has nothing to do with it at all. What causes it to do the update is if you run EverQuest.exe instead of eqgame.exe. Also, when running eqgame.exe, you have to have a shortcut that has "patchme" as an argument to it or it will not work properly.

Im having this same issue. I have also tested my install via changing the eqhost file over to PEQs login server, and it works fine then, however, I am currently unable to connect to any servers, attached to the temporary SoD login server. It had been working just fine the past few days, but today, it started with the above mentioned error for all servers.

Exit everquest and try again. If that does not work, please provide your login name so we can investigate.

[Epicbeardman]

login name is magebot. I have been having to play titanium with this one and SOD with the others. It worked a few days ago though but now its unknown error after login when I try to join a server.

Is the login server down again? After using the #setlsinfo command from titanium on PEQ, I still get the invalid login/password error.
