Okay, please read the entire post before replying. FFXI-3001 (THIS GOES FOR SE EMPLOYEES TOO)
*Tried forwarding ports 25,80,110,443,50000-65535 On router.
*Tried Factory defaulting router
*Enabled DMZ
*Called ISP, everything is fine.
*NAT is enabled
*Tried turning router firewall off
*Ran Check files on POL and FFXI
*Reinstalled FFXI
*Reset router
*unplugged router for 2 minutes
*waited 25 hours before log in
*Assigned a static IP that was not the original. IE 192.168.1.100 -> 192.168.1.110 and set port forward to the new address. No dice.
And now the facts.
*Happens only in East Ron
*Can log on to mules just fine
*ONLY East ron is affected
*No files came up corrupted
*SE sent me a useless, generic letter about port forwarding
*Again, not port forwarding, my mules load fine, it is ONLY East Ron
*I am on an Xbox360
Any other ideas?
*EDIT* Nothing has changed for the past 3 YEARS, and this all of a sudden happened.
*EDIT 2* Moved my character from East Ron on friends PC, worked just fine after. Rezoned to East ron, same problem.
*EDIT 3* Was able to log into my character through my friend laptop using MY network instead of his, worked just fine with no problems. IE: It is NOT my router. Tried again on my Xbox, and got stuck again.
*EDIT 4* EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE has began. I will again attempt to log in. If I am still stuck, I will move the character from the infected zone by PC, then reenter infected zone on Xbox to see if POL has indeed fixed this issue. I'll keep this updated.
*EDIT 5* Maintenance did not fix the problem, I zoned back in to East Ron and I got stuck again.
*EDIT 6* Was told by someone formatting your entire HDD fixes this issue.(What?) Attempting to reformat Xbox HDD, and commencing reinstall of the game, I'll keep you all updated.
*EDIT 7* Formatted Xbox HDD, reinstalled FFXI, performing the massive update.
*EDIT 8* Reinstall and game launch successful, however it did not fix the problem, and I am still stuck. NEXT....
