Can't get past server select.

[Felwithe]

I'm having the same problem. I get to server selection, but then after I choose a server, nothing happens. Eventually server screen goes black.

This is my first attempt to play EQemu, so there is a pretty good chance that I'm screwing up. So I'll keep reading threads in the hope that the error is on my end. But I have no idea what it could be as of yet.

Of course, is it possible that new players are being kept out of the system right now? I saw in the news section that new accounts were being blocked to keep bots out.
