Weird Crash

[Danzigdev]

<p><span > <p>I have been on trial for a few days now and was actually going to buy game tomorrow but today I encountered a problem that is causing me to rethink this.</p><p>Today my internet went down for about 1 minute and of course it booted me from the game. When the internet came back on I restarted game and logged in to my character. I had hit F11 to see my framerate and when my character logged back into game I started to move. As I moved I noticed the packets lost count go up (which had never happened before). Now everytime I log in to any character the same thing happens and it eventually gives me a "Trying to log in to server #1" message box which keeps going until server #5 and then displays "Could not connect to a login server. The servers may be busy: please try again in a few minutes." message box with quit button. This has been going on for about 7 hours now.</p><p>When I log in I can stand around, see people chatting, look at persona, play with options, cast self spells...but soon as I cast an offensive spell or even move I get packets lost and then black screen with above message boxes or it just goes back to character select.</p><p>Is this what I have to look forward to? Is there something I'm missing because I have looked in forums for the same problem and I have yet to locate it?</p></span></p>

<p>Did you cycle your router/modem? Unplug it for about 15 seconds then plug it in again....</p><p>If that doesnt work, post your tracert and pathping please <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" /></p><p><a href="list.m?topic_id=422516"> How to run a tracert and pathping</a></p>

<p>I tried pathping and tracert stuff and it just keeps coming up access denied.</p><p>What I still am having a problem with is why if something on my end is messed up can I still play 3 of my 7 toons?</p>
