Hey guys, I'm new to EQEmu as well, but yesterday got a little help, thought I would share what was told to me (Devs, if I'm wrong please correct me)

Yesterday I logged in to server select screen at the same time another buddy of mine logged in (was on phone with him) and I only had 1 server showing, but he had a list of them (Xantar, this should help you) so I clicked on the "chat" button and then back to "play" and the list of severs came back up instead of just one. I'm not sure if that's the way to correct it, but so far it's worked twice for me.

As for only being able to login to the 5.0 servers, it's because we do not have the December patch files (so I was told). The 4.4 servers require those patch files and if you do not have them, you will get the 1017 error every time you try to login. I have read this on a few other posts (no links avail b/c I've read so many posts I cannot remember where they are, but shouldnt be hard to find just look for any threads titled "1017 error?" etc) . From what I understand the 5.0 servers are dev test servers, I've killed mobs on them and got no xp, unable to #level or #zone, when I asked someone on that server why this was, he explained to me that 5.0 servers dont have the "goodies" the 4.4 servers do.

So for those of us that are new to EQEmu, we need to wait for the devs to patch to EQLive's latest update when all the other servers will switch from 4.4 to 5.0 before we can start in on the good stuff. Hopefully this will be soon, but I am content to wait it out.

Hope this helps some (lol and I hope the info I recieved was correct, so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
