I can't login with my main character on Asura as well. She's stuck in the Downloading Data black screeen trying to zone into West Sarutabaruta.

My other Asura character works just fine though.

EDIT Looks like Japan is having trouble with the weather, I just read about this and I had no idea. I guess we'll have to just wait it out. Hope everything's fine out there.

[Jakuk]

All words are struggling, have been for over 12 hours+

Been stuck all morning with a black screen and 3001 error while attempting to load into Port Jeuno on Asura.

[Kylos]

Yeah I can't get in on any of my chars as it tells me the lobby is busy. My dad can log in with his mules but not his main char. Might be to do with the typhoon.

I was walking around Mhaura fine, until I warped to Upper Jeuno. Now my character is stuck forever loading. I hope all is well, I will be awaiting diligently.

I can't log on Asura. I've been trying for hours now getting POL-1160 and FFXI-3001.

[voliathon]

I'm unable to login as well to Bahamut server. Sometimes I make it past the Play button through PlayOnline Viewer but every single time I'm unable to get past "Setting Active Content" and then the game tanks with a POL. I never make it to Select Character. I'm central time and Charter is my ISP. Does anyone know the exact locations where the Japanese servers are for FFXI?

[MoonlitDNC]

Now it's not even getting me past the title screen. Says it cannot connect to the Lobby Server and will not show me my character list.

I mean, I've not had any issues all month otherwise and taking a break for a day isn't too much of a bother, but if I'm paying and this is going to continue into tomorrow....

Has anyone seen SE acknowledge server issues at all yet?

Ah, I see the reason for the server issues now. {Edit}

Apparently there's a typhoon issue over in Japan at the moment. Hopefully if there is any extended downtime, SE will comp us a few extra days. Safe wishes to everyone adversely affected by all that.

[Details]
- Unable to log in to PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI
- Getting disconnected from FINAL FANTASY XI servers

[Cause]
The probable cause for issue is most likely rooted in the fact that too many BLU spells are being cast at once putting servere strain on our servers.

[Affected Service]
- PlayOnline

I am unable to get into Lakshmi after repeated tries tonight

[cheyrn]

Now that I have gotten in "Shiva" my Macro sets are replaced with what seem like what I had a year ago.

[stubbsie]

looks like sorted now got in hope everyone else can get back in

[Stuzey]

I can log on, but all my macros have been deleted, at least I made a backup two months ago :)

[Sirmarki]

There was a high category typhoon in Japan yesterday.. Probably explains it..

[cheyrn]

Whenever I lose my macros, my first thought is there must be a typhoon around somewhere.
