error in check name filter?

[ramboblake]

i just created my own server,so i started the game made a char and tried too log into my server,the game closed and it said error in check name filter is their a way too fix that

The only two things I can see in the code that give that error is if a) the character name is already in the `characters` table, or b) the character name you are trying is in the name_filter table - thus being denied.

If neither of these are true, I recommend dropping your eq2 DB, creating a new one, and letting the LoginServer re-deliver you a full DB.

Also, where is this error appearing? In your client as you try to connect, or in your console window? And are you using Public LoginServer or the new Minilogin?

A little more information would go a long way to helping _you_.
