Bad Username / Password

[Kowie]

When i go to the login screen, type in my password, it says Bad USername / Password. But i can still log into the forums? They are the same login procedures no? Any idea why this is happening anyone?

[ltlruss]

Does it say station error or eqemu error? Check out the error guide link in my sig. You can probably find the answer to your question there...

[Kowie]

Says EQEmu, no clue why its happenin =/

[Hireko]

Same error here

[ltlruss]

Did you check out the error guide?

[Hireko]

Yes, and it was entirely unhelpful on this point. I was using my name/password earlier today just fine, played me account every day in the last week, have the proper shortcut and eqhost file. I can log into the forums here with my name & account. I'm simply unable to log into EQemu with it.

Well, I'm not sure... Check out this link.

It was a replication error, about 30% of the accounts werent replicated properly when we switched to the new login servers. It has been fixed now, if your still having a problem email me at LethalEncounter@eqemulator.net with your username.

[ltlruss]

Thanks for the update. :D

[Hireko]

Thanks, I can login again now.

Hello Edgar1898,

Sent an email last night to the email account your provided, but am not sure you received since I didn't get an answer.

Still can't login now. I'm afraid there's something wrong with my account. I created it last night, and The error I am getting is the same reported by Hireko. My username is nighthiker (of course).

I would really appreciate if you have any advice.

Cheers,
NH

Did you change your eqhost.txt file?

eqhost.txt
[Registration Servers]
{
"register.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}

Did you create a login account?

1. If you dont have a forum account, you must register one. After you register a forum account, you will still need to register a login server account because we arent going to be using the forum usernames/passwords anymore.

2. Login to your forum account and click the profile link from the top forum menu. On the profile page, under your username you will find a unique key. That key will be needed to activate a new login server account.

3. Change your eqhost.txt file to the following:

[Registration Servers]
{
"register.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}

4. Using the everquest client, click Account, New. The only information we need you to fill in is your email address (it must match your forum accounts email address), your cdkey (Login Server Activation Key located in step 2), your station name (new account name you want), password, and your user handle for chat purposes. Although this is the only information we use, the eq client makes you fill in some of the fields.

5. After your account is created, you will be able to login and play everquest as normal. You can only have 3 login server accounts associated with your forum account. If you want more than that, you will need to register another forum account.


The process has changed... If you read the "How to Play" Guide, you won't have a login account.

[nighthiker]

Ah.....


Ok, then that's what's missing... Thanks a bunch!

I indeed had seen just the "How to play guide".

Cheers,
NH

N/P.. Good luck.... :D

[Edgar1898]

I'm going to update that guide ASAP

[Elcommando]

I cannot log in to my account too. my friend has no problem with login on this same computer with his account. im sure that i activated it and that stuff.

[Psykeman420]

i and my friend have the same problem....some of the time, it works sometimes then it doesnt. its really odd.

[Edgar1898]

if your using the correct eqhost.txt file then you shouldnt have a problem, both login servers have the exact same database they are pulling from.

[mikenune]

Sounds like more of an ISP connectivity issue than an EQEMu error.

[Ender]

i am having this same problem but the error only says bad username/password nothing else what should i do? im pretty sure i did the eq.host thing right and the eqgame.exe right so im not sure whats wrong can someone help plz?

[Edgar1898]

Tell me what the exact error message says (the whole thing).

[NarutoLegacy]

Uhh is caps lock on? lol

[mikenune]

I was having the exact same problem earlier last night on my private server. I finally just got frustrated and logged in as eqemu instead of my user. And it worked! So, thinking that maybe the problem somehow fixed itself, I relogged in as me and was able to get in fine. I still have no idea what caused it though :?
