I have the empty server select list problem in a huge way. Many days I've logged in 20 times in a row before getting it to work. Tonight, after getting hung and logging in again, it won't work after about 50 logins. Some people say it's an issue with a router blocking ports, but like another poster I've run wireshark and I do see packets reaching this computer on port 5998, containing what looks like a server list ("[A.0.8.0] SirensBane Classic EQBOTS.EN.US.........24.59.40.131..." etc. for many servers). Is there a definition of what these packets should contain? Ideally both directions since the client continues sending packets in the middle of this interaction, and I'm curious whether they mean anything more than "continue". One other curious thing - in the middle of the packets with the list the server does send one short (62 byte) packet with no readable strings in it.
