Can't log character in

[Truehoax]

I waited on hold for 150 min. with phone support. (I love speaker phone)
The man took a bit of info from me and told me it would be helpful to post on this thread to speed things along.
Desktop or laptop, wired or wireless, OS, ISP, zone your character is in that you can't log into.

For me, desktop, wired, win 7 64x, verizon, port jeuno. I can log into my mule in bastok and use it like normal but my main which is in port jeuno I cant even log into because the data screen just loads till it errors.

Devs please post a known issue...

Laptop, Windows 7, FiOS, Oldtown Movapolis. Wasn't even zoning, and the location will still show up as Oldtown in the character screen, but I can't get past the black loading screen for the last 4 hours. Since I (miraculously) wasn't in a SoA area I actually tried loading my char on my old PS2 and was blocked at the same point. Although all parts of the loading process, from the POL login to the FFXI login to the lobby login occasionally stall and need to be redone. To me this points to server congestion, but I don't get why some people are being blocked and others have no problem.

All I can say is they better fix this before Sunday, because I was waiting until the last minute to buy bonanza marbles to spare my poor limited inventory space.
