Details:
I experienced a game crash on May 10, 2011 (about 2 AM EDT) when zoning from Port Jeuno to Buburimu Peninsula (Abyssea-Attohwa) using the NPC Horst. Ever since this crash, I have not been able to log onto the game on this character only (Xianra, Odin server). My character gets stuck on the black "Downloading Data" screen and after a few minutes I receive a POL-3001, No response from server message. I can log on using my alternate character with no issues. My area on the log in screen is identified as "Buburimu Peninsula". A file check revealed no errors and a router / modem reset did not correct the problem.
Steps:
Experienced a game crash while playing FINAL FANTASY XI.
Attempted to log back into the game and received the following error after a few minutes:
==============================
FFXI-3001
No response from server.
Connection timed out.
Press OK to shut down.
==============================
Repeated log ins throughout the day at different times have yielded the same error. Restarting the modem/router did not help. A File check was performed and no errors were found.
