Disconnect after Character

[Defx]

I go all the way to Character creation, and then when trying to enter the world i go back to the main menu....
Is Luclin Exp Required? cause i only have til scars

[Eisern]

I'm getting the same problem :( i'll let you know if i find out why it's doing this.

[Darien21]

Need more info..
Did it freeze when you pressed enter world?
Did it go into the loading Everquest logo screen?
How many servers have you tried?

As far as I know, expansions arent required, but are reccomended because sometimes you'll go to a zone that you dont have (Such as the planes of power)

[Defx]

It goes into the loading screen, loads a lot and stop
I have tried like 3 servers

[wulfeous]

im having it the same way now..

[Fuzzyhead]

I am also having this problem. If anyone could shed some light on the subject I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Well first off this is a beta version there are issues. Second not all servers stay up to date with what the Devs send to CVS.


On a side note, we have been seeing a lot of, I Cant connect why? I sis everything right but it dont work why? me need help. Post exactly what you did to get connected. for example, I patched to live, then changed my eqhost here is a copy of it

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5999"
}

i enter my name and password and this happens.
I choose a server and that happens.

We need every scrap of info you can possable give to find the answer, because there is a big chance you did somthing wrong, or the issue is on your end. I dont know how many people clame they did everything then it turns out they didnt patch fully or in some cases they changed there EQHost then patch so the host got switched back. If it is just the fact that the servers are messed up there is NOTHING you can do other then be patient and try again every once and a wile.

As i stated this is a beta version it is getting closer but is still a little ways from being done, add to that and the fact there are people who have no clue what there doing making servers( not all but there are some) so some of the servers are just messed up cause of that.

OK, well my friend and I have a similar problem. I believe its zone specific. On the Fish-Wolf server we cannot log into our characters in Crush Bone and Mist Moore Castle. We can see the characters, select them, then after the splash screen we are returned to the server select screen.

We can run other characters outside of those zones however.

There's your detail.

[Fuzzyhead]

I just recently got everything up and running again to where I can get to character select. I am trying to play on Fish-Wolf again, but whenever I hit Enter World, it loads like it is going to play but boots me back to "connect" screen. That's what happens to me.

[mattmeck]

Fuzzyhead, please follow directions....


When did you last patch?

Have you tried any other servers?

Dose this happen on all servers or just some?

ect ect ect

[Fuzzyhead]

I patched today, and it does this on every server. Anything else you need ? Just let me know.

[mattmeck]

be patient would be the important thing to do. The Devs are working hard to get everything fixxed, but they do have lives and jobs / school. give them time.

[dman478]

yeah I figure they will get it fixed.

The good news is somehow when I first asked to zone mistmoore and was disconnected, my character gained 9 levels...and lived...kinda wish he died now.

[Defx]

Ive been able to enter the world.....
That problem doesnt happen anymore and ive changed nothing
But now i have other problem....
After 5 mins i log in it always disconnect, my connection is not bad but i think the problem is that i live in Brazil...
And then maybe its not.... :D

[dman478]

if a server doesn't have enough zone servers...could it be kicking me before I see my character for that reason? Or would it 100% of the time say "zone not availible"

Just curious if its because I'm in two unpopular zone (Mistmoore and Clan Crushbone) that maybe its related to their use. I know also that unpopular zones would be more bugged due to less debugg information.

Thanks

I'm having a similair problem as others here. I can load the game to the character screen. I can sometimes even create a new character (although I sometimes get disconnected while making a character). I then will press enter world and wait. It will then either go directly to the disconnected screen or it will go to the loading world screen and then to the disconnected screen.

I am patched to live eq. I have the eqhost set up correctly. I have tried changing the datarate from 8.0 to 5.0 to 3.0 all with no difference. And I have tried about five servers, including the one green server that I've seen up.

I did get in once (on BrightBlade) as a Frogglok. I stayed on for quite awhile in one zone but lost the game when I zoned. I haven't gotten back in as that character or any other on any of the servers I've tried since.

One thing that might be helpful is if the people running servers could post how many zones they have running and if they are fixed zones or not. I also wonder what kind of computers are being set up as servers and what kind of connections those servers are on.

I'm sure all of that along with my own wonderful 26k connection combine to make it so that I frequently get disconnected.

And if there are "in game" problems and issues, that just lowers my chances of getting on a server even more.

I'm hoping though that I'll get lucky some time soon.

It very well could kick you before you see your character...

If there are not enough zones available when I attmept to sign onto a server from a zone that isnt up... My comp freezes for 5 minutes and then it's back to the server select...

In cases like that... I believe just being patient is the best policy...

EDIT: Astartea, it sounds like you have bad luck with when you choose to login... :oops:

[krich]

Dman,

When there are not enough zones when logging in from the character select screen, the character select screen will remain and just lock up. If this is not what you are experiencing, then it's likely a different problem.

Regards,

krich

[Astartae]

Yeah, I guess so. Although I have tried several times during day and night. I wonder if a DSL connection would help me get on... Well, I'm off to try to get on again.

[Rabaril]

I do not believe conneciton speed really matters with this problem (if we are speaking of the same problem)

I would try logging onto some of the larger servers.... Also, if you are trying to log onto Froggies or Iksar and the like, try classic EQ characters.... (the server might not have expansion zones loaded)

[dman478]

OK, I got on today on Fish-Wolf when there was a shocking 6 people on. So it may have something to do with zone-servers afterall. Or population in general.

But then I went LD in 15 seconds, new issue for me, but not the concern here.

When I tried to re-log-in I was unable with the same symptoms as before.

Maybe its an "active-character" issue? This would explain why I was able to get in once and only once. Whats the current implementation of the active-character instance development? Is it known to be reliable? Slow to kick? I've never gotten as active character error after going linkdead and I attempt to log in immediately. Thats strange and would not happen on live.

[dman478]

HAHAHAHAH GOD LIKE

It is an active character issue.

I logged on another character on that account and I see myself in the other zone.

WOOT...off to the bugs forum.

[Rebocide]

As far as the zone not available i am thinking since some servers only have a few zones available if your in a unpopular zone the avaiable amount of zones online might be taken by places like home towns/PoK/Nexus/ PoP zones try it again when theres hardly anyone there and see if you can log in. Also if it's still implemented i know there was a command to make use another char and you can move that stuck char to a diff zone.

The Load to main menu could just be unstable servers like matt said there still under dev. and some people are just running enough of a server to get what they need going this might clear up when the bugs are worked out. Just try a diff server with more people. Plus I have learned if i get a server like this and i can get into it later i ussually LD in under 5 mins cause there just not up there enough to handle all the commands being sent to it. Like using a White Fire Warsword/2 haste items/ and spell haste first time i attack something my connection line goes crazy and i bomb out. Just give it time and it'll all level out. Other factors to consider is Servers are connected to you from a personal Internet Provider so if someones just having a crap connection or there downloading something that will effect the server and what it can handle. Like he said just try a diff server ones bound to let you play

Thats just funny!

Anywhos. I notice ALOT of improvement with DR5 and the latest patch. I get booted ALOT less and usually get kicked back to the characture select sreen now. Nice job.

And no, if you can play EQLive with your current connection, then I would venture to guess your connection would be good enought for EQEmu
