Can't log character in

[Vashkoda]

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.

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.

i got warp back to jeuno and d/c shortly after now i can log either of my character on. either i cant get into Pol or i make it all the way to the black screen saying downloading data but still get a Pol error code saying timed out connection. i was standing in Ru'Lude Gardens not moving. Also the Playonline website seems to be failing to, its not my connection i dont have any problems with other thing just PoL.


Edit: i was finally able to log a character but was not able to log the other account in on the second system beside it.

I'm having a similar funny problem right now. I'd been hanging on a mule and went to swap. No dice, I couldn't get on my main. It hangs at the loading screen

I had a d/c last night but I blamed it on a record thunderbumper. I'm calling their tech support number right now to find out what is going on. On hold.

Very frustrated with SE, at least post SOMETHING about the fact you notice so many people are having issues. Got dc in Bahamut zoning to rolanberry. Getting stuck on now downloading screen.
After a few dozen more tries when FFXI begins to load it just shuts down entirely

Laptop Windows 7 FiOS.

I find it interesting that SE will not even say they have a problem. Maybe they work for the the NSA?

Ok, finaly off the phone. We may have a official rep on here to repeat what I'm about to say but..according to the phone techie..

They're trying to run down the problem. They want info about what happened/which chara/where you live (As in state and country, or just country if you are not NA) and your ISP/op system/if you got wireless internet or wired/modem type(As in, dual or not; Like with Uverse, it is a dual modem since it runs everything to do with phone or cable or net in the house.). I suggest everyone who is having this issue post all that here. The more info they can get the faster they can find out which cord/which hamster(s) got loose. (They already got mine over the phone, so not going to repeat it)

And oh yes, it was a hour wait on the phone. ^^ If you feel the need to call them, I hope you have unlimited long distance or you use Skype or you will be sorry.

Same issue. I've tried a few things. Started when I tried to zone from Lower Jeuno to Upper Jeuno. Got a friend to log into me to move me to the gardens. Could get on in the gardens. Tried to use the abyssea warp NPC there to go to Xarcabard(Abyssea-Ule) and am getting this error again.
