Connection problem!

[Aesop]

I'm starting to get really frustrated. I've done every fix I can think of (connection optimizer, updated drivers, dual core fix. reinstall) and still having the same problem. It's lessened since I made all those changes which I'm not sure if it's coincidental or not. I 3 box with WinEQ and just freeze up left and right. This morning all 3 were freezing up at once for no reason, but that has since stopped and now it's back to the regular crashing.

Is this Aesop from SoA?

i have also connection problems.
i get continously back to login screen when i try to connect to the hidden forest.
with other servers i dont have problems.
yesterday i could connect ok but now it does not work anymore.
the only things i did today are the following :

i tried to get other display option in eq
i updated spells and global file
and i could connect first time but after a while i could only see the npc's and pets but not the players anymore?
even the bots i could not see anymore

try now, I think I banned you by accidet

sorry about it, but someone was crashing THF and wanted to get rid of him.

[Aesop]

Kron: yes

Lillu: If you were referring to me, no change. Currently on attempt 4 or 5 of trying to connect.

[Lillu]

Well mate, I checked your ips/accounts and I see no reason in the db why you shouldn't be able to log on.

[Aesop]

Thanks Lill I'm more looking for anyone with a similar problem who has fixed it now, I'm pretty sure the problem is on my end I'm just not sure what it could be.

[Aesop]

Well apparently it's character related or something. I'm letting one of my guildmates use Amun my warrior and he gets the exact same problem I do, on the other side of the country on a completely different system, any ideas?

[Aesop]

Nope must just be coincidental. I couldn't load Aesop for a while either. lol so frustrating!

[Aesop]

Well, I've switched to SoD in an attempt to somehow fix this problem and it's the same. I've been single boxing and still - every couple zones I lock up. I've been playing less and less because I want to enjoy myself and I can't when I have to constantly reload EQ!

No one in their entire box career has ever run into this problem?
