Problem was when they announced that we were getting shut down, CS turned off flagging and the download. they needed to turn it all back on.

I guess you peeps are quicker than Piestro getting back to me as to when things are working again. ;)

You can make a new account, but it is not enabled for expansions.

Selecting iksar or vah shir as your race when creating a toon pops up a window that says, "You must purchase this expansion". It fades away, but comes back each time the race is reselected.

Clicking on a PoK book pops you back in the respective zone's newbie area...at least it did to me in Freeport. I'd imagine it's the Succor/Evac point?

Hobart knows about it, but no word on a fix yet.

Was trying to set up a 3rd account to ghetto-box.

Edit: I haven't tried making an iksar or vah shir, or tried zoning to Kunark or Velious... I'd imagine that doesn't work either. And obviously, no luclin models.

I hope he can figure out the problem and fix it quick! He's got a flight to catch for his vacation soon! :shock:

it looks like Hobart acknowledges this in the MOTD, however he says it will be fixed Monday or Tuesday.

No! If you have your old login, your toon is still there.

Just want to say that I am officially back on EQ after almost 11 years. I started back in 1999 when Classic was first released. But was a PC gamer on the Povar server back then.

I have to say, after all these years and scores of games later, this goddamn time vampire still amazes me :)

I play on Povar now! Cool to see someone who put the game up so long ago back to play! Al'kabor is a lot of fun. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.
