Ya man im having the same problem and a few other people ive talked too in irc having the same problem.

Just to tell u devs and such too what i mean is...we connect and everything right have eqhost right but when we enter the server select screen only 1 server will come up and none else...after relogging in about 15 times u will get 1 more and thats it.

and yes i am running off eqlive which is probly my problem but last night i was playing on the servers fine untill this morning when i woke up and tried too log in and something was wrong. so i hope that gives u some guys on the info of our problem at hand.

The live code login server (5997) Is running in stand alone mode. Basicly what this means is if the world server isn't specificly connecting to the 5997 server it will not show up. This was done mainly to eliminate the problem of only seeing the one "down" server.

If your using the previous eqmain.dll (using the old login code), and still connecting to the 5999 servers, now is the time to patch and change your server config to connect to the 5997 server

This is what I see:

Server Screen

There was also a guildwars server on for a while but it was locked too. :(

If they update the patch from now then what other files do I need to have backed up besides that one and eqgame.exe so I can still play it and normal EQ without having to have the whole game in two seperate directories waisting hard drive space when not needed?
