Hello! I have a second account I have been playing/boxing with my main account. My husband does, too. Both of us are suddenly getting a "disconnected" message as soon as we try to log in the second character(s). It gets to the log in screen and this happens right before entering world. Is there a block for boxing on this server? I didn't think there was but if there is, please forgive my ignorance in this. If not, any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hmmmm are you using the same account?
The EMU login server just can't handle both characters being on the same account. You can run both chars on the same computer, whatever, but for both of them to be active they have to have different logins.
If you have experienced characters you've spent time on, I think the only thing is for you to get him to copy a character to another account. You can set up another account on the EQ EMU site.

The characters are on different EMU accounts and worked fine until last night.

Actually, this happens to the second account even when I don't have my first account logged in. I'm not sure why it is doing that.

You have a 2nd account and anytime you log on, with any character on that account it will disconnect you? (do i understand that correctly?)
there are no visible/obvious errors with the server right now (I'm at work, so my attention is somewhat limited) however everything appears to be running with no problems.
The last line I see in the log is a Charname that starts with 'V' was deleted by user action.

I'm sorry my posts have been somewhat confusing... I have been writing it as I try different things. I have an account which every time I try to log in, I can get to the character select screen and when I click "enter world", it tries then says "disconnected" and sends me back to the log in screen. This is happening to that account regardless if I have my first account logged in or not. So, I guess I convoluted it. In essence, I have an account that logs in fine and another that is repeatedly giving the "disconnected" error no matter what I try.

does that happen to any char on that account, or just a certain char?

I only have the one character on that account. I can add one and see what happens.

I tried making two different characters on that account and both started logging into the tutorial then I got an error saying, "EQgame.exe has stopped working" and it closed it. Yet, I can use a different account with the same launch pad and get online just fine (so far).

I think I might know the problem (pot-shot guess).....one of your characters has a name of 'Default'
for testing purposes, I changed the name to Defallt. please try to log in now. (fully close out that client, then try to connect)

Yay! That worked. I have no idea why one would be named "Default", though. (Sorry it took so long to respond but I had to step away from the computer.) My husband is having the exact same issue with his second account as well. Anything he can do to fix it himself or does he need to post on here as well?
Thank you so much for looking into this!

I can change the name to whatever you want, let me know and I changed Defallt to something you would like.
Just a hunch, are you using multiple computers to connect to the server, or are all your accounts being played from one computer? The reason I ask, I do know that when you use Remote Desktop(RDP) to remote to another machine and then connect thru RDP to the server, it does weird things in the db. Typically, when you log out while connected thru RDP, it will put that toon in a zone number that doesn't exist. When that toon goes to sign on, since its in a zone(#) that doesn't exist, it wont log the toon in. This is not what happen with your situation, as the name was set to Default. But the name changing, is a similar 'weird db' change, so I was just wondering if you weer using RDP when connecting to the server.
I have a stored procedure that runs every 15mins that will 'fix' any toon that is placed in a zone that doesn't exist, it will automatically move them to PoK. But in this case 'name issue', there is not a SP that corrects that.

The toon's name is Sansmortis (cleric) I dont find anything obvious that would prevent this toon from logging in (the name is fine, the zone is fine). I'll look at it later tonight (after 6pm pacific)
