I would assume this is a login server issue but couldn't tell you for sure, I tried logging into the EQ2Emulator server last night. I'm able to get to character select fine, all characters show up but when it starts "connecting to zone server" it never loads the zone and I get sent back to login again. Tried creating a new character and tried another server as well with no luck.

My guess is world is locked up somehow and needs to be restarted. John must be busy with RL stuff and hasn't had time to look at emu things.
