Default Amazing time

hello all,
yesterday i played on a server all day that was a progression server/timelocked and it was classic with max lvl of 50 with legit loot having slight increase in stats. i had a crazy ammount of fun on it however when i went to log in today it sent me somewhere else and i have lost this server on my list. was wondering if anyone else knows what happend to it? is it just down or was the name changed to something different, it really didnt have a name yesterday just a description of the server in server select. it has been driving me insane all day awaiting for the server to come back up and i think im missing something.

I have no information about the server you played on however a possible reason why you were sent to the wrong server is that when the server list changes (servers going up and down) your 'last played server' which is cached locally can become invalid.

A possible way to find your way back to the server is to open your EQ directory, sort the files by date modified (descending) and near the top should be files related to the character/server UI configuration. The servers 'short name' will be part of the file name and that may hint at the server name of where you had such a good time.

GL!

i found it, its called "Fixed EQ-Timelocked Progression" but it tends to go down for days at a time :( kinda sad really cuz everyone on the server loves it but it just crashes with no warning and doesnt come back for 1 to 2 days later. anybody have a clue as to why?

Well it could be that he is hosting the server itself so if he looses power or have internet issues it could bring it down. Paying for a dedicated host sometimes can be a pain sadly.

Maybe try checking out [BETA] Sanctuary server. 100% custom content (literally every single item is custom, zones are completely different, zone connections are different) with the feeling of immersion and wonderment that classic EQ gave us when it first launched in 99. Fantastic server.

Thumbs up

I also have been playing on fixedeq when its up and have had a blast as well. I was disappointed to see it go down again. Hopefully it comes back up soon.

In the mean time, if you haven't already played Dungeon Crawl. I recommend you try it. Its similar in some regards.
