Thanks X..i was hoping it was on thier end =)

If you find out how drop me a message plz

They've been getting ddos attacks but not just them. there are multiple companies that were getting hit. Last night the majority of it was coming from Turkey. It's sporadic. They bomb one host, then move on to the next and the next and then come back and do it again. Repeat rinse. I've been monitoring Security sources as well as live ongoing attacks elsewhere. You can see it here http://map.norsecorp.com/ . They send tons of data packets to a targeted host and literally flood it to a point that it slows it down so much it crashes and can't handle it. They've not been successful in keeping it down though because they keep moving on to other targets. Someone has already claimed responsibility.

DDoS defense can be put into place to prevent such attacks yet a lot of companies just don't. Go figure. I got knocked offline last night twice, then knocked off twice today and I knew it while in task once everything slowly came to a dragging lag then halted.

Good to know Vip..thanks...i guess its just a waiting game then to get back into the game..

Isn't there a way to bypass launcher?

Per EQResource :

These instructions will create a shortcut that will open EverQuest bypassing the

patcher and taking you straight to the EverQuest login screen. Also you can

input anything for a username login which will automatically get inserted for

you as your Username at the EverQuest login screen:

1. First browse to your EverQuest directory.
2. Right click "eqgame.exe".
3. Create a shortcut of "eqgame.exe" and send it to your Desktop
4. The icon will be named "Shortcut to eqgame". Rename your shortcut to

EverQuest or if you want something more specific: "EverQuest - NoPatch \\

Toon1". (the \\Toon1 will be addressed shortly)
5. Right click shortcut, and select "Properties"
6. In the properties window, you should be on the Shortcut tab. In the target

field you should see the path that leads to your eqgame.ext within quotations.

Click on this field and add the following text after eqgame.exe: patchme

/login:YourUserName
7. Click Apply, click OK.



As an example, your target field text should now resemble something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme /login:Toon1UserName

Note: The /login: information is completely optional. If you want to manually

enter in your Usernames then just don't enter the login info. ["C:\Program

Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme] is perfectly fine as well and will

work fine.

Note2: Replace Toon1UserName with anything that you want to appear within the

username field of the EverQuest login screen. Reminder, for EQ the username is

not case sensitive but the password is.

Note3: If your target field text includes quotations like the example above, be

sure to add the patchme /login: information outside of those quotations. My

version of Windows 7 does not have the path in quotations, if this is the case

then disregard this, you do not need quotations.

Note4: If you want to use only one shortcut and operate different accounts from

that one shortcut after you exit EQ it will always remember the last Username

you used to login. If your main character is Toon1 and the last time you exited

EQ you had entered the infor for Toon3, the next time you start up EQ from that

shortcut it will automatically have the username of Toon3 entered if you did not

use /login:Toon1UserName.


Using this method, you can set up instances of EQ specific to a single

character. Having two shortcuts labeled \\ Toon1 and \\ Toon 2 along with their

usernames entered into the target field all you would have to do now is enter

their passwords and login. This really cuts down time for people who play

multiple accounts or numerous instances. Having multiple shorcuts will help you

manage different accounts.

Alternatively, if you do not want to have a bunch of EQ shortcuts cluttering up

your desktop, have the login target name be just a single character like " , ".

Now you only have to backspace one character and type in your desired Username

instead of the entire usename itself. Try it out!
