Can't log character in

[Zazhi]

We probably won't get any help until Monday, if we get any at all...

This is starting to sound like an east coast issue

Nope, I'm in Los Angeles, actually a 20 minute drive from SE's office here. Maybe their people have also been affected by this, though you wouldn't know it by how they're taking their time fixing the problem. >.> Of course it's the weekend now, so we might have to wait until Monday for anyone to take it seriously.

Or wait until all the FFIV beta players are done downloading the game.

Or wait for enough JPs to complain.

Yea, I'm PST time zone. I'm in Nevada and I'm having the same issues just like everyone else. I wish they get this issue resolved

Here is my input:
Timezone: Pacific
Location: CA
ISP: AT&T ADSL

I logon PC and Xbox with 2 different accounts. My PC is running Win7 x64.

I Dc'd on the Xbox account warping to homepoint in East Adoulin. At the same time I dc'd on the PC warping from East Adoulin to West on a different account. I attempted to log in multiple times but it would not let me log on any characters on my PC account however I could log on my mules on Xbox account. I retried this for about 20min and included rebooting the xbox and pc.

Finally I logged onto the account that I normally use on the PC using the Xbox. This allowed me to access my main character and move him to a different zone. Once this was done I was able to relog him using the PC with only minor timeout issues during the POL login/check messages/flist etc phase. Doing the opposite (logging on the account I traditionally use on the Xbox on the PC and moving the character to a different zone) let me access the Xbox character on the xbox again.

Later in the night I dc'd on the PC account warping from Kuftal to Bastok. I tried to log back in normally a few times but it didn't work. Rather than jump through all the hoops with the xbox again I decided to call it a night.

This issue is made even more frustrating by the stupid "Character is already logged in" error which makes it so you cant keep spamming account logins to bypass the mini connection drops which seem to be occurring.

As others have said the most frustrating issue atm is that SE is not even acknowledging that there are login issues. Hopefully it is resolved soon.

The FFXIV PS3 beta started today and so a ton of people were downloading FFXIV, and they had D/C issues too, at least during the registration/user agreements/download/etc. portion. I don't know if anyone was thrown out of the game after finally getting in, though.

The forums for both games are experiencing issues as well. SE's servers are on hyperdrive and I'm not a tech geek, but I don't know if there's anything they can do about it other than wait for it to pass or to literally lock out users selectively.

the last part. owell, since I downloaded from steam un uninstalled, I recently discovered that steam doesn't delete old files after uninstall, so when I reinstall, it causes a crash to desktop after hitting play for some reason.
Now I get to patch again, thanks again SE

This is ridiculous, FIX IT

[Seyomeyo]

Having this issue with an alt.

Name: Jimbean

Server: Carbuncle

Zone: AbysAltep

This is happening to me too. Windows XP, Verizon FIOS, East Coast, Carbuncle server. I've had various stages of success. I logged on Friday evening, managed to check my D-Box in Upper Jeuno, made it as far as Sauromugue Champaign then timed out trying to Field Manual warp to Bastok. Login freezed at various stages, and earlier I was able to log on to a mule. Since then haven't been able to get further than character select screen. I thought it might be my computer, so I tried logging in through my PS2 (I played on PS2 for the first few years I played; never touch the thing nowadays except for troubleshooting purposes like this) No luck there either. Probably just as well since I wouldn't want to play on that grainy old thing.

This is a bummer, but it'll get fixed sooner or later. I'm glad to see that it's not just me or my ISP. I'm not happy (or particularly surprised) to see the usual immaturity of some of the players. I installed Steam for the first time Friday morning (to play Sonic 4 Episode II), and thought that might have caused it.

The basic details:

Character: Zarchery (though it seems to affect all my characters)
Server: Carbuncle
ISP: Verizon-FIOS
Platform: PC running Windows XP.
Region: East Coast U.S.

I must say this has nothing to do with from where you trying to log in. I live in Europe, and having the very same issue. If this problem have to do something with FFXIV beta, well I now really wonder these issues will happen every weekend as SE will implement beta thing every weekend till game release date.

I'm a royal customer since 2006, paying every month for this game even when those times I can not play due to my work schedule cause I liked the game very much. Though, since Adoulin content released I'm not fond of the direction game is going including both new content material and recent technical issues side.
