smells like firewall/network configuration, messages like this are "multi process" by default, they go through a separate process even if you only have one xi_map running all instances. Likely zmq can't reach the process that isn't running on the same machine

Hmm... Maybe something in the conf files. I'll have a look tomorrow to double check. No firewall running on the machine and machine is on a public IP.

The outgoing message isn't coming back to same exe instance you ran it from, traffics stopped somewhere on that instance of the exe. Your screenshot only shows the senders perspective, but I doubt a 2nd char in the zone (or other zones) would see it either. Almost certainly a network traffic problem of some kind.

Yeah, I can't send myself tells either...

It's working now, and I swear that all I did was restart the login server. >.> image

Wonder if above issue as well as this issue (linked) are being caused by same issue?

nope. but I think it may be related to their other lobby issue where characters suddenly can't log in.
