We likely need more details as to what occured when you "tried to log on" (to include your method and app of choice for updating/launching mq) and what changed for you to "finally get logged in". My initial inclination is that you ended up installing MQ somewhere else (or had it installed somewhere else).

Yes, i updated RG, then my plugins, Lua's, and macros, then i started MQ from RG launcher even my map meshes were gone. But I always update everquest first. As far as installing it anywhere else I've updated it how I've done it a dozen or so times. The thing that changed to finally log in was I loaded up nopatch EQ and went old school. After doing that, characters started showing up in my MQ characters.
Are you sure the folder didn't somehow change in your settings, leaving you to install mq elsewhere?
I am not sure, but i am also not sure how to check.

1. What are you using to update MQ. Redguides Launcher or Redfetch?
A.
2. If you look at the install location - does it match where you expect it to be?
A.
3. If you look at the install location and go to the config folder - do you have a login.db file or an MQ2Autologin.ini file?
A.
4. If 3 is no. Can you search your computer for either of those files in case macroquest is installed in a different location and share the results of the search?
A.

1. Redguides wasn't one of the two options provided.
3. You shouldn't have a login.db file for every class. Should just be one file called login.db located in the config folder of your macroquest install. It's a database that stores the information for your autologin. There may also be a login.db-shm and login.db-wal which are not class specific.
5. What method of launching macroquest do you use? Are you using the launcher, a shortcut, or navigating to the folder where MQ is stored and launching from there?
A.

1. based on your screenshot and your response to 5 I can see you're using the Redguides launcher.
5. That is the correct way to do it.
I'm not seeing any issues right away with the way it's installed. If you're positive you haven't installed it in a new location unintentionally.
I can only suggest you setup your profiles and logins again.
