Cannot connect to server?

It should be working now. The Login Server (and this website) were down for a few hours today. When one is down, the other is as well and you can't login to play when they are. Let us know if you are still having the problem.

Thanks for the super fast reply.

I just tried it again after I saw your post and I got the same message. I type in my info, then it gives me standard Logging in... please wait box, then another box pops up and says "Connection to the server could not be reached" and it tells me to check my internet connection. Then it says "If problem persists, check the network status... etc etc" and those links lead me right to the station website. Completely confused now.

I'm stuck with exactly the same problem for about 5 days by now...

Are you absolutely sure you are using a retail version of EQ Titanium that you bought? If you are using an illegal copy, or some other version of EQ like the Trilogy, it won't work.

Also, make sure you aren't running any P2P or Torrent programs in the background, as they will likely eat up most of your bandwidth and cause connection issues.

umm, well I didn't buy it... But it works just fine with a minilogin server...

These are the areas that are tough to support. The instalation instructions work real well, but they need to be followed to the letter. Any missing or altered step can cause what you're describing and it's tough to identify with as little information as you're providing.

Some things to check.

1. Titanium Retail Instalation that has never connected to SOE?
2. Make absolutely sure you are using eqgame.exe and not everquest.exe and you have the patchme statement where it needs to be. If you run everquest.exe its hard coded to connect to SOE and fix issues (patch)
3. Go through the setup again for good messure... and respond back if you end up fixing it, including what the cause was. I hate when people fix an issue and then never reply to help others understand what happened.

Good luck!

Illegal copies of Titanium are not supported on these forums. Not only are they Illegal and against the rules of the emulator, they are also a real headache and major cause to many issues. People shouldn't have to waste time to help someone troubleshoot an issue that is actually being caused by their illegal copy.

Get a legal copy and uninstall EQ and then delete your EQ directory and reinstall it again. If you connected to the SoE patcher at all, the install needs to be redone from scratch.
