Have been having issues all day with logging out to mule. It acts like it's dc'ing and can watch the R go down to 0. Go to sign into character and receiving errors like others for timed out.

Now, cannot sign into Calee (main character). Warped to Jueno, ran into mog house. Went to zone out into Ru'Lude Gardens and am stuck with the black loading screen of death. Finally get the FFXI error for being timed out. Go to log back in, receive error codes stating character is already signed in. Log into a mule, ok. Log off and attempt main again. Only to get stuck at the black loading screen of death.

Also having issues today with AH price history, area, and character searches. Constantly getting "search failed" results.
