Yeah, I'm getting the same problem, except I can log in, but all chat messages are "String not found. [# for message type]" along with class names and AA titles. Happened about 10ish minutes ago for me. Trying to con something causes the client to crash, hailing doesn't, /who doesn't crash but gets missing strings for classes and level #s. Those were the only things I messed with before crashing.
Edit: after another patch, getting stuck "Patching: thedeep_chr.txt"
I'm getting the same thing.
Chances are you never got the new file, or you have a blank file now. Find the eqstr_us.txt and files.txt and delete them, then from the patcher click advanced, repatch all, patch and run.
Bypass the patcher.
Run eqw, or eqgame.exe if you run fullscreen mode

It is a temp fix. Half a patch went in, then was reversed, etc etc etc.
Itll all fix itself tonight (i think), till then, as long as you have the latest eqstr, skip the patcher.
Also: Blame Temellin.
