Everytime I log in and, finish my quests I have and go back to town to repair I always seem to lag out and then I get sent back to character select screen. Has anyone else gotten this before and what can I do to make sure that doesnt happen again, cause this is just pissing me off to end.

Sounds like a cpu/ram/vid-card kind of problem.

Most everybody gets some lag in the cities since there are so many players in the zone but it shouldn't crash the machine... unless that machine is borderline spec in the first place... You didn't mention what kind of rig you have. Maybe that would help...

I am running:

P4 2.8GHz
512mb RAM
GeForce FX 5200 128mb

I dont get it though, I started playing this game a while back and never had that problem before, now its just doing this all the time.

The CPU is fine but the ram is a problem. 1GB seems to be the basic rule of thumb for EQ2. I don't know NVidea very well, (I'm a Radion guy), so maybe one of the other folks here can help you with that.

I thought the GeForce FX series wasn't EQ2 compatible?

I guess i'm mistaken.

512mb Ram is fine, but not really great. You'll see dramatic improvement with 1G and you can get it pretty cheap right now.

DER, I am a ******. My video card is not the FX series cause I remember that most of my games didnt support that card due to the fact it did not have the new type of shaders. But it is a Geforce somthing I cant remember the last part.

Go to your desktop, right click, and press "Properties". Select the tab "Settings". There it should say:

[Monitor] on [video card]

That's your video card. Like mine says:

SyncMaster930B(Analog) on NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT

Which means my monitor is a Samsung monitor using a nVidia GeForce 6600GT graphics card. Another way to do it is to go to Start > Run and type in "dxdiag". Go to the Display tab. It'll have all of the info you need there.
