Darn. I was going to actually shell out money to take part in this server this morning. But if theres still major issues in being able to play, I'll have to wait. Unfortunately for this company, the longer the wait, the more disinterested I get.
Same. Decided I was gonna grab that bag before its gone. Now with being unable to even connect to launchpad....meh.
You can bypass the launch pad. Just open a command prompt, browse to your Everquest directory and run "eqgame.exe patchme". This post explains how to create a shortcut so you can do it quickly when needed: https://articles.eqresource.com/bypasslaunchpad.php
