    Just trying to get a show of hands who has this bug. Hopefully we can gain some attention for a fix for this.

    Right now I am unable to log on or use the guild lobby on one of my accounts on just Povar. Other accounts are fine. Other servers are fine. Only way I can get online if I wait for the Return Home button pops up.

    Guild lobby has been a tough zone to lose. I lost Steamfront mountains, and Greater Faydar to but I can work around them.

    Did you delete the zone files involved and run through file check?

    Deleted all files and reinstalled the game.

    Since the vast majority of players are able to connect, this seems more like an issue that you are having, rather than a Daybreak issue. I recommend posting here: Player Support

    I will, however, see if I can provide advice. First, turning off your modem and router for about 2 minutes to let them reset.

    Next, checking to make sure you don't have a proxy server running. Some malware will do that. Here is a link to check: http://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/removing-proxy-settings-browser/

    After that, doing a Trace Route or Ping to eqzone-05.everquest.com. That can get some idea of why you can't connect to that address. Here is how: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/networking/how-to-perform-traceroute-and-ping

    If the Trace Route and/or Ping show you can't connect to that address, the next step is to contact your ISP and find out if they are blocking it. Sometimes they block addresses for dumb or ignorant reasons.

    Good luck and let us know how it goes.
