Hi Meeble!

Looks like yur server's up and running again. I had a hunch maybe my EQ screwed up, so I tried logging on to other servers/playing to see if it would work. It has so far for every server I've tried, and yet I still can't log into yours. I can choose my character, but after that, it doesn't seem to load any farther. This would cause ppl to say that I've patched and doesn't work etc. but I can logon/play on other servers. Could it be the zone I am in (in Velks right now), or that my character information is corrupted? If you can shed any light on this, that'd be great, thx!

Edit/Add:
Well, good and bad news. Good news, is that I can log onto your server with a diff. char. I even tried zoning into velks with my new char to "open" the zone, and quickly logged off and logged back onto my main char and to still to no avail, it will not load my regular char. I was wondering if you could check my char data to see if it has been corrupted or something, or maybe something awkward is preventing me from being able to play with that char. Thanks.

Sometimes a character can get stuck in a zone wall or soemthing and disable it from being loaded... A #movechar should work fine for that problem.

Hey Gundam

Oh dear, I'll try moving your regular character into another zone and see if that helps. As Bloodgoth said, it could be that your character is stuck and cannot be loaded. I'll let you know once the move is complete!

Edit: Okay, I've moved your character "Itsuka" into PoK.

Right, the RAM has now been upgraded. I'm wondering if this helps at all with the problems we've had with crashes whilst zoning etc. Please could those of you who have been having problems try playing on the server again at some point to see if the upgrade has helped? If not, I'll look at alternative measures.

I'd really like to get this zoning/logging in problem sorted as soon as possible so I can really start work on customizing the server.

thx for the char move, but apparently that hasn't fixed the problem. It is just this specific char so I guess since we have done as much as we can to determine where the problem lies, could be my char data is simply corrupted. Would it be possible for me to make another one and have it modified back to the one I have now, or sumthing like that? Or do I need to start a new char from scratch? I'm not so much concerned about the gear, because that is all #si-able, but my levels had to be earned so that'll be a toughie. Please advise when you have time, thx!

Some bugs I found were, 1) Pod lifts dont work 2) No usable skill trainers*that I could find anyway*3) Clickies that go in certain slots like ammo will show up as a combat effect and cant be used such as Bridles or drums 4) When in zones like Blackburrow or CB or any zone with lots of levels I ended up pulling things through walls and floors and ended up getting trained.

Thanks, userzero.

Actually, most skill trainers are indeed working (or at least, they should be!), it's just a few in PoK which aren't. Thanks for the bug reports though

Right, a little announcement, now. I think this topic is getting a bit big now, so I went ahead and finally opened some forums for the ForEverQuest server.

Please register if you have an interest in the server and it's development!

Eep, sorry I've been a bit quiet lately, but real life and other projects have been keeping be quite busy! I'll be continuining with development of the server as soon as I can, but I just thought I'd give you a heads up to let you know that ForEverQuest isn't dead! :p

Sithikus, you can actually use the #movechar command to move any characters on your account yourself!

Ello...I created a Dwarf Rogue to find out that Kaladim is not up and running. So I cant loggin on my rogue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I take that back. I can't get into any starting city right now.

Ah well. I will be okay. I will keep an eye on the forums to see how this server is progressing. Thanks!

meeble · #73 08-12-2004, 08:59 PM

Hi hidetada, thanks for checking out the server!

Oh dear, this zoning problem really is becoming a erm... real problem! What happened when you tried to connect to the starting zones, hidetada? Did you timeout, or did you get a "zone not available" mesage?

It's something that really needs to be sorted before we can progress any further, it seems. :/

(Oh, and thank you for your offer of help over on our forums, it's much appreciated! I'll get back to you about that soon.

)

I could get into Qeynos2 (North Qeynos). It was the only zone I could get into. I tried to move my character to Butcherblock Mountains. Also sometimes when I tried to move my character to another zone I would be at the character selection screen and it would say unknown zone. If I tried to connect to the unknown zone EQ would crash and the next time I would loggin it would say I was in the arena. Many of the starting city zones say this zone is unavailable. I could loggin to Kaladim but I had to logg off for a while and when I came back I couldn't. I got into East Cabilis with an Iskar but he was stuck and couldn't move but I used him to move my character. I created so many characters last night. One that I greated in Greater Faydark (pardon my spelling) was looping into a falling death where pain and suffering was hitting me for 32000. I had to close it out because I couldn't do anything else. I am also having items not sticking with my character. I have made summonitem hotkeys so that I can get them back fairly quickly. So by the time it was 2 am my time I was killin gaurds in Qeynos2 (which was nice exp I might add). I like the server. Keep up the good work. I can see why there are people that are lvl 65 by now. Anyway...I will play around today. My main is going to be Stabbit (female dwarf rogue). I hope to hear from you soon. I will keep posting the weird occurances that I find.

Everything is fine now...except I was working on equiping and I am guessing the server went down. Thats great though maybe that means some more fixes to problems. Well anyway...my rogue is lvl 51 now. I will be 65 by the end of next week I hope. Thanks for the great server!

As I mentioned over on our forums today, the ForEverQuest server is going on a hiatus. I'm not sure how long this will be for, but I don't have much time for the next 2 weeks or so to actively work on the server, so I don't see much point in continuining with things as they are (zoning problems etc).

Indeed, I am considering not bringing ForEverQuest back up 'properly' until it's a bit nearer 'completion'. As you know, this is intended to be a heavily customised server, although there hasn't been much customisation going on lately.

I am indeed continuining active development on the server, and so when we're back up, please expect to see a nice new server with lots of custom features!

Apologies to our regular players (if we still have any left after weeks of zoning problems!), and I hope you all find new homes until ForEverQuest is completed.

I will be bringing ForEverQuest up again from time to time for testing purposes, so if you notice that it's up, and unlocked, please feel free to jump on and have a sneak peek at how the server is shaping up!

(Note: to the two of you I contacted about GM positions on the server, these are still available to you when the server is completed, should you still want to accept them).
