Im not trying to confuse, but I am just seeing several people having these random crashes. I doubt the just out of the blue all these people are have issues because they downloaded the game, instead of CDs. Some people say they have the cd's.

To solve a problem you have to reduce the varibles with questions like,

1. Has the loginserver been altered in anyway over the past week or two, even the smallest change.

2. Are there any possible Windows Updates that have come available that are for XP 2000 and Vista that are crucial updates like a kernel change or something.

3. Driver updates recently from Ati, Nvidia, Intel that could lead to a issue with EQ.

The last one could only be figured out by finding out what graphics everyone that is having issues are running. The first is easliy solved by a dev saying that it has or has not been changed recently. The second one is a bit trickier has everyone that is having problems would have to check there most recent updates and cross reference them with other OS updates and see if there is a similar one and it is indeed a major update.

We can rule out that the Client is the issue as even CD users are getting the issue and no one is updating. All the clients are the same unless you download it, even then I dont think you can direct download the titanium client. Understandably though, if you do download the client from SOE, of course it will not work because it is not the CDs

I think the error for a incompatible client or like a updated/non-updated one is like 1017 or something like that, unless its changed, i just remember that back when we was chasing Live, not a crash of the client itself. Just a connection notice.
