To join the Queue do I just hit play everquest and leave the pop up, up or do I hit OK and leave the login screen up?
found it "Clicking “Okay” in the queue notification window and staying at login (server select window) will retain a player’s place in the queue"
After you've selected Ragefire, clicked "PLAY EVERQUEST!", and have gotten the notification screen, you can stay at the login screen or hang out in chat. If you get disconnected, as long as you return before it's your turn, you will keep your place in the queue.
