Unable to log in on one character.

Error'd trying to zone into that Library in Eastern Adoulin lol.. locked out now. Luckily the Cell-phone workaround is working for the time but this issue seems to be growing on people :|

Yes i have the same problem with my second character which i been playing mostly. i zoned into delve from marimar feilds. so im still logged into circas caverans(U) i logged in with my first character i can actually /sea all xena and there she was still online. i even exited the game and nothing works. i called a GM and says to write here. Id like to have it fixed soon.

this isnt the first time things like this happened but it corrected it self but not this time, cant be a browser issue bc my other characters work

I'm now having this issue after getting stuck midzone into Valkurm.
I get to Downloading data... and then it times out.

I am also getting this issue with both of my main characters (3001 error), GM says he cant do anything about it.
Ive also tried to log into these characters on multiple PCs. Anyone have a fix yet, I'm paying for 2 accounts I cant use.

I would just like to point out that this is not an issue with my PCs or router, I have tried 3 PCs, multiple routers, and 2 different networks. I can still log into mules on both accounts I just time out on my 2 characters that are having this issue, regardless of where I am playing.
This is obviously on SE's end, not ours.

Sorry, I just noticed the thread, so I will copy-paste my similar issue here.

Over the past month or so, a few zones I try to enter result in getting stuck at the "downloading data" screen, and eventually time out into an Error-3001. I try to log back onto the same character immediately, and again it won't pass the black "downloading data" screen. I log on another character, and they are fine, unless I try to zone into the same exact area as the first character.

It started out with Yahse Hunting Grounds. A friend who also plays had to log onto my character to move him out of the zone, before I could successfully log on him. Then several days later, it happened again in Port Windurst. Then eventually Qufim Island. And just today, it happened in Buburimu Peninsula.

I worry that whatever is happening, it will affect more and more areas, until I can barely play at all. I have tried "Check Files" multiple times, and nothing is corrupted, neither with my PlayOnline Viewer nor my Final Fantasy XI data.

I don't know what to do anymore, besides reinstalling completely. But if none of my files are corrupt, would a reinstall even help at all?

It seems to be connected to either the computer or the modem/IP/router, since a friend out of state can log on my character and move him out of the affected area, whilst I can't zone any characters at all through the same area.

I had the same issue and discovered my PeerBlock app was blocking a specific IP from Square. Allowed the IP permanently and it fixed the problem.
I'm guessing a blocked IP from some app on your pc may be the problem for some users.
Good Luck...

Applications like PeerBlock will definitely cause issues like this. Different zones are on different servers with different public IPs. Not being able to access a specific zone on a specific computer is a sign of this, where you don't have all of SE's IP addresses whitelisted.
