Something strange has happened twice now and I am hoping you all might be able to help me figure it out.
So twice in the past 10 days I have been afk with my toons just sitting in PoK. They are doing nothing just sitting there. When I come back the game is super laggy, so much so that it is unplayable (5-20 delay between pressing a key and that thing happening. Now it looks like video lag so I decide to reboot to fix it.
I power down the system and wait 60 secs before restarting it.
Everything restarts as normal with one exception. When I try and fire up EQ I hit run as admin and it give me the yes or no box. I hit yes then after about 2 minutes the EQ window will start to appear but I will get unable to connect message after a few more minutes.
The first time this happened I thought maybe it was an EQ crash. I was finally able to log back in after hours of trying. During this period of wonkyness I decided to go to EQ's website to check server status. Unfortunately I was unable to access any everquest.com pages. I got the same timeout stuff of the hourglass just spinning until it finally timed out.
This time I tried again with the exact same results. I can access all other websites as normal (super fast fiber connection). Everything else seems to work fine. I can play other games and there seems to be zero issues. It all seems directly related to EQ.
