Everquest 'not responding'

[Shawnee]

I posted this on the Akka's Funhouse website forums, because it seems to be the server I'm having problems with, but thought I would try here too. I looked back through all the posts, but didn't find an answer.

I got the Underfoot expansion from Steam last week and was playing on Akka's Funhouse with no problems until Sunday afternoon. After I logged to the character screen, I deleted a character and the game crashed. Sadly I didn't pay attention to the error message. Since then, whenever I try to log in to Akka's server, I immediately lock up with a black screen and the task manager shows Everquest 'not responding.' I can log into other servers and I can still log into Akka's using Titanium. I tried reinstalling into another directory and still the same problem. Husband is playing fine from his account/computer with Underfoot. Could something have gotten messed up on the server side or any idea what file to look at clientside? Any ideas? I do not have Akka's specific files loaded, but didn't before either.

These are the last few lines of the dbg.txt file:

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried creating another character on that same account and seeing if that one works? Also, on the char that has the problem, do they have any AAs? If they do have AAs, you may be having the same trouble I have seen on a few characters on my server and haven't figured out the cause for yet. I made a post about the AA issue here:

Well, I sort of solved the problem in a roundabout way. I created a new EQemulator login account and was able to log right into Akka's server with Underfoot. So apparently when I crashed, something about my original login account got corrupted and was preventing me from logging in to that server.
