Stuck Zoning Into Guild Halls

[Kryvak]

<p>I'm getting stuck at "Waiting for zone server" when I try to zone into my Commonlands Guild Hall. This also happened to me in Enchanted Lands, and someone else confirmed it in their guild hall.</p><p>Edit: Seems to be that there's a bug with the zone servers, not just the guild halls, someone else was able to zone into a guild hall last night.</p>

Every so often I'll be able to zone in to the zones I want to, then an hour later I'll be stuck at Waiting for Zone Server for minutes before being kicked back to the zone I was in before trying to zone in. This could indicate a problem with the servers, or SOE could be shutting off certain servers when there isn't any activity on the zones they handle. ( Since this is talking about Test Copy, most instances are like this at the moment. ) However if you try to zone in over and over I've been able to enter after about an hour.

<p>I was able to zone into my Commonlands Guild Hall successfully twice, but Enchanted Lands is still getting me stuck.</p>

<p>I I get stuck zoning into guild hall (waiting for Zone Server) roughly one time out of ten.</p>

<p>I'm not finding this random game-freezing feature on a zone into T2 NFP GH to be all that game-enhancing.</p><p>Any chance this will be fixed before everyone disappears on holidays?</p><p><img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>This has been a problem for me for the better part of the year. On Live, I have a T1 GH in Timorous. I've deleted and reinstalled many things. I still have this random problem of waiting on the zone server.</p>

[Neskonlith]

<p>This game-freeze also randomly occurs when zoning from GH to player housing - it's likely becoming more visible due to the extra zoning caused by daily tradeskill apprentice quests when you have multiple trades researching.</p>

<p>I have narrowed down an issue that has started happeneing ever since AoD was launched.  People are crashing when trying to enter guild halls.  This appears to be a memory bug.  The people that are having issues all appear to only have 2 gig of ram and it occurs when there are a lot of players in the zone with them.  Basically it appears to be that the amount of item + the amount of people is causing a memory overload and crashing EQ.   Please look into this.</p>

I have 8 Gig of Ram so the previous posted comment about this only occurring when someone has only 2 gig of ram is incorrect. Also this is occurring when nobody is able to get into the zone, not when alot of players are in the zone with them.

I made a new thread with a more accurate name for the waiting for zone server issue.</p>

<p>Game freezing on a zone-in to GH or house is noticeable on Live, is it simply a volume issue because of all the extra zoning most players are doing since AoD?</p>
