FFXI is unplayable - Error 3001

I haven't been on for a week due to a sickness in the family and when I got on last night I get the FFXI-3001 error and time out. I am unable to zone into Port Jueno when I try I get the black loading screen of death.GM said they couldn't help me ...so basically my character is stuck in the black void of nothingness. I was just wondering has the issue been resolved and I am the special one that missed out on how to fix it? Or is it still an on going problem? I don't think it's a net issue if its affecting all platforms and not just computers. It's hit to many players since the update.

Had the same thing happen to me going into Salvage II. I even up-dated my PS3 and its the same thing with it also. Have no trouble logging onto my other characters.
