Youll need to read this thread to find out what the 1017 error is and why you get it on some but not other servers... http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=68814 (http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=68814)

I'm getting this same error. Gone back and verified that I am registered, using correct login/password as the site. Still giving me a 1017 whenever I attempt to login.

Did you check to see what that error means in the guide? Click on the error guide link in my sig. It might help.

Yep, checked the other mentions of the 1017 error also. I'm beginning to think its a server error as I can log onto the test server (game boots me when I try to log in though) while the rest boot me back to the main login screen as soon as I select the server and click play.

I'm sure that you probably already checked on all this but I figure I should ask...... When did you last patch? What servers are you trying to get on? Have you tried to patch again? Do you have DX9 installed if you've patched since last month? Have you gotten on before? Are you on dial-up?

Here is a quote from samandhi's one stop error guide

Client crashes all the time, or back to the login screen, or desktop.

This is supposed to be fixed as of the 10th patch, but SOE had an emergency patch the 18th, so Im sure there ARE problems still with making their patch compatible. Hang in there, Im sure the Devs are working hard at getting it compatible for us again. While the 0.5.5 servers ARE compatible in theory for GoD files, It was VERY quick to come out, so it might not be totally compatible yet. Another possible solution, is to make sure you are running DirectX 9.0 or above, as SOE has gone to that as of the 18th patch (So, I am told, havent read that on official boards yet, but HAVE seen the message from SOE when logging in, "Make sure you upgrade to directX 9 soon.")

Looks like it may still be an issue. :(
