Im getting the same error as well but i found out you are using an Intel Graphics card dont you? They said they made to to where people with intel graphic cards cant play everquest but they are putting a patch out tommorow morning at 3am the servers will be down for 3 hours. but to temporarily get on go to your eq directory and delete your eqclient.txt file. then use eqgame to get in DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME after you delete the file or else you will have to re delete the file....so far thats wut i got out of eq's guides.....but i am gettign crashes at server selection so i dont know if deleting that file will help but still it helps some....try it out ttul....
