hmmm not a clue im logged in now...
im patched to current and no problems logging in.
try a different zone maybe your trying a unsupported zone or something.
let me know what char you tried to create.

I've noticed that whenever I use my home Emulator server, I get black screens through a lot of the process. Did you let it sit a while to be sure that it wasn't just loading something and you didn't see it (best way to tell is to watch the hard drive light)?

Also, one last thing you might try is updating your DirectX and Video Card driver if neither one is latest (DirectX should probably be DirectX 9.0b...)

Hard drive light was not on when i got black screen and i was trying to make a Ogure(its not spelled right) warrior.

You don't say if you're doing this on your own private server or someone else's. Are you able to sucessfully do it on any server?

I have experienced somethng very simular. For instance:

I created a DE Mage on a friend of mines server. I am current on patch and all Drives and files are current. When I click enter world it says Entering the Glooming Deep(I believe) and when the toon spawns I can see all of my windows ie chat window, spell bar, Action window, Hotkey bar ect, but my surroundings are completely black. I can spin in a circle, /who states I am in Neriak, sitting/standing does nothing. Moving forward or back does nothing /camp works fine regardless of my attempts to be in a standing position when I use the command. ie log back in and immediatly type /camp without doing anything else.

However, I also immediatly made a Human mage and although it spawned me out on the Qeynos docks (no clue why) I did enter the world normally and was able to move around.

Any ideas?

Glooming Deep is the new EQ tutorial, most servers dont use it so it transfers you to the races starting city.
