Logging into server please wait...

[darkjack]

Hi I'm new to emu, read the FaQ whent threw all the forums that i could find related to my issue with no solution trying not to look like an idiot but heres my problem. I got my hands on a copy of titanium installed it and followed the wiki and the guide for project 1999 (the server i want to play on) with the shortcut created it doesnt try to patch (is that normal?) and when i attempt to login all i get is the bubble "logging into server please wait" it doesnt matter what i type in its the same message.

I'm running win 7 my host file is targeting port 5998
Shortcut does have the eqgame.exe" patchme argument
I tried installing it twice thusfar second time with my wireless adapter turned off to make sure it didnt "secretly" patch on me lol
Tried running everything as an admin and in compatibility mode no change in result

Thanks for your time
