The structure is designed to make it easy for even the least technical users to follow. If you can't find the answer to your problem here, please try the Technical Discussion Forum

Insstallation Problems

If you are experiencing problems installing the EverQuest software see the Tech Support: Installation Problems page.

Login and Character Select Screen Problems

Project 1999 Servers Missing From the Server Select Screen

First check Project 1999's front page. On the right-hand side you should see a server status box. If it says that the Project 1999 servers are down then most likely some soft of update or fix is being applied, and you simply need to wait.

If the status shows that the servers are up, the EverQuest software is probably mistaken (this can happen occasionally). Quitting the program and restarting it should fix the problem. If it does not please ask in the Technical Discussion Forum

Frame Rate, Movement and other Visual Problems

Gameplay Problems

Problem: Being Stuck

If you're stuck somewhere try ducking and jumping, and if that doesn't help try the /rewind command. Keep in mind that the rewind command can sometime take several minutes to work, but if you're still stuck after awhile you can always "/petition Please help I'm stuck" to ask a GM for help.

Coming soon (see the Technical Discussion Forum).
