Same
 

Having the same issue today. It worked fine yesterday, no changes were made that I'm aware of...

same here as well

you can connect directly and not use the launcher and it will work fine.

Error Message Changed
 

When trying to bypass the EQ Emu Server, by running the Everquest.exe shortcut (in my case c:\EQ\everquest.exe patchme), I'm receiving the Connection Failure Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com.

I've tried connecting over my regular internet connection (it's kind of weird due to the network I'm on, there's a manadatory proxy server, and some other things to deal with on my way to the gateway).

I've tried connecting to a VPN, which will allow me to bypass all the weird stuff because of the tunneling, and receiving the same messages.

I tried changing my eqhost file to point to
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

It was previously set to
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Oh, I can ping eqemulator.net also, so it's not physical layer or routing. I'd try to telnet to port 5998, but they took my tool away in Windows 7 *curses Microsoft*

No dice. Any more ideas?

From the guide:

Step 5 - Creating Shortcut
To do this, go into your EverQuest directory. Locate the EQGAME.EXE file. Right-click on the file and select "Create Shortcut."

Wow, guess I better go back to primary school and learn to read again. I was just skimming it, and totally overlooked that it said eqgame.exe vs everquest.exe. Works like a champ...Also the patcher issue seems to have sorted itself after the power outage..

you're not bypassing any eqemu server by connecting directly as per the instructions in the wiki. the launcher is a third-party utility and it has had problems like this from time to time. it's not a requirement to play on emulated servers and you my not be seeing any real benefit from using it.

its not working for me, the same issue. I created shortcut of EQGAME.EXE, i run it as administrator or normal, and it says: Please run EverQuest.exe
And when i run Everquest.exe it says: Connection Failure. Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com

WTF? how is it possible? i started to play yesterday and it worked really fine for me... i didnt touch anything... Thanks

I'm having the same issue today. Was fine yesterday. Haven't touched anything. The P99 website says the server is up. Whats going on?

I've not seen Rumzuck (Creator of the launcher) around but I imagine its down for a short while

I'll let you know when I find out more.

That means you didn't add patchme to the command line.
