Returning player having issues

[dukeof]

<p>Ok, after much hubbub I have finally got my station name and password for my old account.</p><p>I have characters on the Butcherblock server but using the launcher I have no ability too choose that server. I see my characters under my profile when I am logged in but I cannot get too them....</p><p>Can I do this with the EQ2X launcher? I am not going to run out and purchase the game discs, again, since I have it on my HDD already. Perhaps there is another download for EQ2 Live?</p><p>Any help would be appriciated.</p>

<p>Don't try to log into your characters from the launcher.  Just go on to the character select screen and log in from there, that should fix it.</p>

<p>You may need to choose the select a character option first. Then when you get to the screen where you can see all your characters you should be able to login there.</p><p>However, after spending some time reading the boards, and getting really tired of LoN and SC, my advice is to run before getting to invested again.</p>

<p>Also be sure that you have installed the correct client.  If you installed the EU client, then you will not have access to Butcherblock.</p><p>I will move this to Tech Support in case these ideas do not fix your issue, perhaps a TSR or wise tech savvy person will be able to help.</p>

<p>It does not appear that I have an option too do anything except create a character.</p>

[dukeof]

<p>Also,</p><p>Under subscription info in my account is still says pending. Should I have recieved a receipt with an activation code I need to use?</p>

[Shareana]

<p>What servers are available to you to create a character on?</p><p>If you have an existing account and you are only wanting to subscribe, you will not receive an activation code.</p>

[dukeof]

<p>Keeping in mind that I am using the EQ2X launcher...</p><p>Once it goes through all of the loading stuff it drops me right into the create character screen (assuming I have not created one, I have created one on the FTP but deleted it.), I go through all the creation stuff and it is currently only giving me the freeport server with a heavy population load!</p><p>Also, I only did the 3 day activation ($4.99) as I do not want to drop too much money up front if it becomes too uhmm, addictive, I want to be able to stop without loosing too much moula!</p><p>I am sitting at home today watching my daughter (pink eye) and I am bored!</p>

<p>EQ2X and EQ2 are two different animals. You will need the EQ2 launcher. I don't know where the download link is though.</p>

<p>Ok, Eq2X only has one server.  Freeport.  That is your issue. The only way to have a character from Butcherblock moved there is to pay the 35.00 on Marketplace to have your character copied to the EQ2X server.  This is a one time copy per character.</p><p>Eq2X is about as separate as you can get form Eq2 "live".  The 3 day pass is for the EQ2 "live" server.  Eq2X is the FTP server.  They have their own set of forums as well <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />  <a href="../../eq2x/forums/list.m">EverQuest II Extended Forums</a></p><p>If you wish to play on Butcherblock, then you will need to install the Eq2 launcher.  <a class="plain" href="http://help.station.sony.com/cgi-bin/soe.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=25735&p_created=1278436693&p_sid=7WQ*gukk&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=1&p_srch=1&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX 3Jvd19jbnQ9MjYsMjYmcF9wcm9kcz0yMCZwX2NhdHM9MCZwX3B 2PTEuMjAmcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlY XJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWVxMiBsYXV uY2hlcg%21%21&p_li=&p_topview=1">[EQII] Station <strong>Launcher</strong> FAQ</a></p><p>Yikes on the Pink eye...  been there <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>The EQ2X launcher vs. the regular launcher was the issue.</p><p>I am all set now, thanks for the help all.</p><p>Now I need to relearn how to play a 43 Illusionist <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
