ERROR 1018 at server Login

"This is something that happens at the login server, and not P99 specifically. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about this particular error within our jurisdiction."

"i agree, but sadly P99 does not control the login server."

Is there someway we can get this issue solved? I know a lot of people have this issue and no one assumes ownership of the issue. Maybe we can get someone to work together to pinpoint the cause. I'd be happy to intermediate if we can help get this solved. I just want to be able to play with friends.

Thanks for any help.

Im having the same problem, have had it happen 4 times in 2 weeks. The only way the p1999 staff have been able to get the server to release my connection is to ban me and unban me. They have not offered any permanent solutions to this problem, as they claim it is an issue with EQemu, not p1999.

This is irritating.

I just wish we could get some help from someone, rather than the "it's not on our end" line. We're losing a lot of players due to this issue. There has to be someone willing to look into this.

Can someone please just take responsibility and fix this issue? I have a friend who's about to quit over it. At the very least just transfer their characters to a new account.

Well, this just happened for a friend of mine. Same symptoms as usual - and after seeing the complete lack of a fix, I'm likely going to just cut my losses and stop playing, too. Knowing that all of my work could be irreversibly ruined at random sort of dissuades me from wanting to bother.
