Every time I log in it doesn't connect me to any chat channels, I go to filters and the chat channel is grayed out like its not even a option to click any ideas how to fix ?
What server are you on? I am on Phinigel & we lost chat channels sometime between 3pm & 5pm uk time yesterday and they have not returned as yet. I raised a bug report on it - https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/phinigel-no-chat-channels-at-all.270655/
Phinigel chat servers were restored, if your server still has no access to chat channels bug report it.
