When did you install Everquest?  When did you patch with Sony's servers?  If you have patched after 09/13, then you will not be able to play.  If you installed from cd's and didn't patch at all, you won't be able to play.  Basically, if you do not have a backup of your entire Everquest directory that contains the patch that occurred on 09/13, then you are not going to be able to play for the time being.  At all.  Hence the red text at the top of the forum:  
DO NOT PATCH ON 9/13 OR LATER
