Can't connect to SoD Server.

[robinreg]

I have the SoD client installed from the digital download I got from Station.EQ's website

EQEmu does not support the one from Sony download. Only the one from Steam. Here's the link to :

Castwolve2013,

Normally when it hangs like that, it is because you are on a patched client. Try setting your eqhost.txt to point to the tsahosting.net:5999 Login Server and see if it hangs or if it gives you the bad username/password error.

Also, I normally use www.eqemulator.net:5998 for my Titanium clients, but I don't know if that makes any difference from the login.eqemulator.net one.

You don't want to be forwarding any ports. So, if your router has any port forwarding set in it, try disabling it. Also, you may want to power-cycle your modem and router to make sure you don't have a routing issue.

Hey Trevius,

When I connect with

tsahosting.net:5999

it just gives me the "Error - username and/or password were not vaild..." So not sure what that means. Even if I we're to try to connect with

www.eqemulator.net:5998

with my Titanium client I will still not be able to connect it just hangs there trying to connect.. and I've tried doing the power-cycle and restarting the router aka un-plugging the power from the router and modem and its enternet cable's as well for alteast 15 mins then plug everything back in and it still doesn't work. I've tried everything, uninstalling everything and reinstalling everything correctly and it still doesn't work so I don't know what else to do.

Let me know,

Thanks again.

If your Titanium client hangs when trying to log into the eqemulator.net Login Server, that means 1 of 2 things:

1. Your Titanium was not installed directly from the retail CDs as is required for EQEmu. Maybe you downloaded Titanium from SOE or somewhere else. That won't work.

2. Or, you patched your Titanium install, even just a bit by mistake.

It has to be a fresh unpatched Titanium installation directly from the retail CDs for that client to work.

As for SoD, that one doesn't work because you have to register an account on the tsahosting.net Login Server in order to use it. And the only way to register an account on it is to get onto Storm Haven or PEQ in-game and use the #setlsinfo command.

I've honestly onwed EQ for almost 12 years now I think I have the retail CD's.
and honestly about the patched thing I never patched it. it just all a sudden one day I went to try and connect and bam! it says I can't so I'm just like wtf. cuz I've played on Storm Haven before just it doesn't let me connect so idk.

I guess I can whip out the ol' discs yet again and reinstall don't really see the point sincing I've done this almost 30 times already.

If you are sure you are using a fresh unpatched install of Titanium installed directly from the Titanium CDs, then the problem is definitely a port issue on your end. It could be that your ISP may be blocking port 5998 or port 9000, but more likely the problem is on your PC or your router.

Try setting your PC as a DMZ from your router, and make sure you have your firewall and any other security software turned completely off.

Also, if you have Everquest: Trilogy/trial installed, uninstall that, as that has been known to cause some weird issues with separate installs of EQ for some reason.

Another thing is that if you are going to try reinstalling, make sure that you uninstall EQ, then completely delete the Everquest folder before you re-install. Without deleting the folder completely before reinstalling, you will run into issues if there is something wrong with your current folder.
